Frommer's Review
Here's an example of outstanding cuisine in a perfect setting -- without being fancy, fussy, or prohibitively expensive. The bar on the sand is a sunset paradise, and the sandwiches, seafood, and grilled items at the casual outdoor restaurant (a few feet from the bar) are in a class of their own -- simple, excellent, and imaginatively prepared. The menu, which varies, includes items like grilled fresh-fish sandwiches, steaks, healthy alternatives, and vegetarian specialties. On Saturday, the Surf, Sand, and Stars feast offers an array of buffet-style items from fresh fish to grilled New York sirloin, and on Wednesday, there's a special Viva Italia menu. An added attraction is entertainment from 5 to 8pm nightly.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
