Mine is an open-sided palupa hut on poles about 100 yards out into the warm tropical waters. There's a shuttle boat that takes people back and forth. The poles holding up the thatch roof are all carved tikis. The wood is dark and worn. The place holds about 100. The only drinks served are rum drinks, no beer, no wine, no water. All drinks are prepared from scratch. To eat, there's fresh steamed shrimp... mmmm... that might be it, no wait, there's fresh grouper sandwiches too. There's a stage opposite the bar but there's no CD player; when the music's not live, you listen to the waves and the seabirds, and at night, you enjoy your drinks by the light of the torches.
