My daughter suggested we try Something ????? Cerise’s also in GC. Perhaps a little more pricey but they really enjoyed it. I think she said chairs and umbrellas were included with lunch? Food and service were excellent. Wish I could recall the full name.......

Yes, that’s the place. She thought it was lovely and the service was excellent. Perhaps a bit pricier than some places but well worth it for the lovely experience. Can’t wait to find out firsthand!

Had another really bad service problem at Rainbow again this week. Second time they stopped Bill from leaving so he could pay his bill, 10 minutes after he paid and tipped!

For every wonderful experience, it seems there is one involving bad service. I'm just not willing to risk it, for myself..

Just got back from a week at Grand Case in February. Capt Freddy's has the chairs with the vinyl straps right to the south of Rainbow, I didn't count, but he probably has a few dozen chairs. Rainbow has red fabric chairs, with a little shade thing for your head, probably closer to 50 chairs, and the next place to the North is Cerises, which has a few dozen chairs with full cushions, and there is even an portion that is under an overhang of the building that is pretty well shaded. We stayed at an apartment located between Cerise and Rainbow - we had our own parking so can't comment on the that or the pricing, but I can tell you the chairs at Cerises looked to be the most comfortable. There were no other beach bars with chairs on Grand Case when we were there in February. Cerises is definitely the nicest of the three, though I did not eat there or at Rainbow. We ate and had drinks at Freddy's a few times and the food and service were good, the prices were reasonable. Also, Cerises has a restaurant with an open balcony that looks like it would have a great view of Anguilla. We looked at the menu briefly, and it looked a little high end.

Best to bring euros here or use your charge card.
As for parking you may be able to find something on the street, but there's construction going on here so I would see what others on this message board say. Rainbow Cafe has no dedicated parking area that I am aware of. Curious why you suggest Euro or CC? I used USD cash when I was there in December. Rainbow does have valet parking.

I think this is the former Love Hotel which has been reinvented after Irma. They now have a small restaurant and beach area to enjoy for daily guests. It is getting the best reviews for beach bars on the water in Grand Case. Definitely worth a try since Rainbow is not always consistent.

Scubaman--we haven't eaten at Rainbow in YEARS, but there have been so many complaints about bad service there, I'm not going to risk one of my precious days of vacation on them.

My Granddaughter said the burgers were incredible and don’t forget, there’s at least the cost of chaise lounges, really comfy ones at that per Sarah, that you don’t have to rent, so that’s at a minimum of a $20.00 to $30.00 savings or $10.00 to $15.00 off each burger for you and Andre.

You are SO RIGHT darlin'! Did they say if there were facilities? As I know at Rainbow there is only a restroom inside. No showers.

Certainly not Love. That place is in really bad shape with major structural damage. Les cerises was open probably a year prior to Irma.
