Why Travelers Love JOA Beach
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We stumbled across this place by accident and I’m so glad we did! Some of thee best food I’ve ever had! Everything from the service, the atmosphere, the cleanliness was 10/10. Would definitely visit again and recommend to a friend 🙌🏼 Food: The food is good. We only had a main course. No starters, no dessert. The presentation was nice. The flavor was good as well. U can choose between a bowl of rice or homemade fries as a side. Both ok. There is a kids' meal. It's fish fillet with rice or fries. I had the ribs. The presentation, however, is so elaborate that I couldn't always see where my ribs ended and my veggies began. Service: They are understaffed, in my opinion. You wait a while for service. When they are available, they are attentive. Atmosphere: Like every other French beach bar on the island. Very happy we found JOA. We’ve tried several other beach restaurants and JOA has become our favorite. The food is excellent with great variety. The service is polite and attentive - thanks Quentin. The chairs are reasonably priced and very comfortable. We went five times during our stay. Visit without hesitation.
