    Service was very slow! Our reservation was for 7:00. We were seated at 6:55. At 7:10 our waiter finally came to take our drink order and he told us he would bring us some bread. Got our drinks at 7:23 and the bread was delivered to the table at 7:38. Different servers for everything that was brought to us. We decided to order our dinner when we finally got our bread because we didn’t want to be there all night waiting for our food. We got our dinner. It was ready by 8:10. Food was just ok. We have been to Passions many times. The last time we were there we didn’t have a good experience, but we decided to try it again. We definitely won’t be going back.

    David was an attentive server. No order errors. Eating on the beach at sunset was awesome. Nice birthday flare and cheesecake. Octopus appetizer was overcooked and tough. We were not rushed.

    We had an unforgettable dining experience at *Passions on the Beach*. From the moment we arrived, everything was simply perfect. The ambiance is breathtaking with tables set right on the beach, feet in the sand, and a front-row seat to a stunning sunset. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wine selection complemented our meal perfectly, thanks to the excellent recommendations from our waiter, Kjell. He made our evening even more special with his friendly conversations, and great advice on both food and wine. The service was outstanding - attentive yet relaxed, making us feel truly welcome and taken care of. The combination of great food, a magical setting, and top-notch service made this an evening we will never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic and unique dining experience, *Passions on the Beach* is an absolute must! We can’t wait to return.

    Perfect dinner in the beach location! The watermelon salad, coconut shrimp, lobster, fresh catch of the day and desserts were all outstanding! All of the food at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort has been amazing! Highly recommend the beach facing locations as the sunsets while you dine are stunning! Service is also amazing!

    Overall the experience was good (on the beach, had live music), but the service was slow, the sea bass was over cooked and we were arranged to sit next to a large table where the customers were very loud for 3 hours!

    My husband and I have been to Passions two or three other times before this visit. This week we dined with two of our children and their spouses. We were disappointed with this most recent experience … it took over 30 mins to get our drinks and when they did arrive, two were not what the people ordered. We actually finished our appetizers before our cocktails came. Food was decent but not amazing like we remembered from past visits. Sitting on the beach is so beautiful but we are thinking in the future there are other on the beach options for dining.

    Wonderful sunset dinner! We had lovely weather and really appreciated the sparkling wine welcome drink and delicious bread basket prior to ordering. Everything from drinks to apps to entrees was freshly prepared and delicious. Everyone working there was friendly though a few people were training they let us know and still did a GREAT job. If you go for sunset it’s beautiful, but note that the beach is public so you may see a few thongs, drones, or stray dogs… we did. Also, we recommend to wear bug spray.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a memorable sunset dinner with us. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the sparkling wine welcome drink, the bread basket, and all of the dishes from drinks to entrees. We’re proud to offer fresh, delicious food and fantastic service, and it’s wonderful to hear that Lily and the team made your experience special, even while some were in training. We also appreciate your feedback about the beach and the recommendation for bug spray—it's helpful for future guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another beautiful dinner!
