After dinner at Acacoana one night, we walked back along the
beach to our room at Turquoise Reef, carrying our shoes. With
the sound of the surf and the light of the moon, we remember
this as one of our most romantic walks in the Caribbean, a treat
that we could fully enjoy thanks to the low crime rate on this
peaceful island.

$$-$$$
Start with a drink at the bar, then choose an indoor or outdoor
table. We always dine outside beneath the ficus trees, lit with
small, white Christmas lights. The Gecko Grille is one of our fa-
vorite dining spots in these islands, thanks to the creations of
Chef John A. Brubaker.
Brubaker's menu puts a gourmet spin on Caribbean favorites.
We started with ocean escargot, tender young conch served in a
garlic herb butter. Especially impressive at the Gecko Grille is
its extensive wine and champagne list.

This delightful eatery, located just steps from the marina at
Leeward, serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner. We dined on
cracked conch, fried to tender perfection; other options include
lobster salad, sirloin, seafood and broccoli quiche, and more.
The restaurant is simple with long tables that encircle a central
bar.
