Supermarket
The best supermarket. It is new, google it so you can see its review. All food is fresh and they have it all. All hard to find food. And fresh Salmon. People there know their stuff! Trust me just go. The one thing I don’t like is their store brand water .

Birthday Dinner 1 of 4 places I would go. 19 minutes away. We usually go here after or before the Split Rock Resort (for some bowling, arcade games which a lot of people don’t know they have). The also have a mini movie Theater and bowling. It’s great for families but also a fun adult date night. Please call them before you go to make sure their space is not reserved.

Skip it. 12 minutes next to Mikes pizza. ....go if u must but I am looking for other Caribbean spots. The jerk chicken was burned. See pict.I was looking around when he served it but could have gotten better meat. The flavor was ok. I don’t need to go back but the rice was very good. But the jerk spicy sauce was good and spicy. But he didn’t include it so maybe u will get it . I wanted to like this place.

They also have a restaurant and a small water park. Great for small children so they don’t get lost. Some of the machines might not always work but we just try others. It’s small but its all you need for 2-4 people to enjoy it.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Qué meter en la valija
Bring comfy socks, dress in layers, crocs
Bring comfy socks, bring crocs for indoor use. Dress in layers it gets colder in the mountain. Here you will always find a new place to stop that you didn’t plan. Drive by a new lake, stop by a place to see the sunset. Bring extra towels if using hot tub (we have 1 per person for the shower) but they tend to get stain if using by the tub due to the chemicals.
