Tao Review

On a second-floor veranda on the edge of Cariblue Beach, this gem of a restaurant lies on the grounds of the Body Holiday at LeSPORT. Although this is an all-inclusive resort undergoing transformation, the restaurant is open to the public, with diners sitting out on a moonlit night enjoying the trade winds. Its fusion cuisine blends imaginative specialties of the West Indies with the best of such countries as Bali, Thailand, or Indonesia. Start with a lobster spring roll with mango coulis or a deluxe sushi and sashimi platter. For mains, the Pacific Rim seafood bouillabaisse is the island's best, with lemon grass and chili flavors cooked with fresh fish, along with conch, jumbo shrimps, and scallops. The tamarind-flavored lamb is an invariable success, as is the hibachi-grilled pork tenderloin marinated with miso paste and served with a gratin of eggplant.

About Our System

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.
