Ate there tonight. Terrific. Not nearly as expensive as Salsa last night.

So Papaya Moon is now Paradise Moon and has moved from the corner near MCB downtown to somewhere else ???????

Dan, it is now located by the Marina, where Vespuci's was. And, yes, it is now known as Paradise Moon. It was not open as of yet when I was on island in February.

We had my b day dinner there. They have a super waitress who was most attentive. The setting is magical. Good luck Pam and Carl.

Bravo for Pam and Carl - they have a great new location, a slightly better name, and a way better wait staff (Andrew was interesting as an eccentric character but he didn't do his job very well - and that attitude! - "Oh, you had to wait for water for 30 minutes in the tropics after diving all day - so sorry!" - Glad he's gone elsewhere). Carl is a fantastic chef (ask him about his experience and training) and they really have their heart in the restaurant. And I know they handpicked their new waitstaff this time...

The food is some of the best food I have ever tasted and I was amazed to find the level of quality that can be found at Paradise Moon on the island. The ambiance is magnificent and perfected by the refreshing soundtrack that continuously plays. The bartender has a creative imagination and is able to tantalize the palate with spectacular concoctions. Finally, the main course (stacked steaks) is a must for anyone who eats at paradise moon. Besides the food and drinks the wait staff is quick, efficient, and very professional. This place is going to be a staple of the island's dining experiences and anyone who has been there will say the same thing!

He does not own the place but really likes the food and has become friendly with the owners. I know he speaks the truth but may have come across sounding a bit strong for a first time poster. ah, the exuberance of youth!!

Celebrated my birthday there and it was GREAT. They had live music (duo called Tiki Mas) which was really nice and their pink martini is the best! Oh yeah, try the walking sticks too!

Happy belated birthday, Barbel!!

Yes, walking sticks for sure, shredded pork tacos and stuffed ranch chicken (HOT!) Yummo.

We just returned and Paradise Moon made the gotta go back list. Went twice during our stay, and the new location and food is great.
The owners are great folks.

Paradise Moon is definitely one of my new favorite places, had the Stuffed Ranch Chicken last week. The location is great, the owners are very attentive, service was great, too. A must go to!

Papaya Moon was one of our favorites, went many times over the years. Just returned from Bonaire, went to the new Paradise Moon location, we were disappointed. Although the wait staff was great the menu seemed to change along with the prices (they went up). For the money we will go back to the Steak House across the harbor (forgot the name) That was terrific. Just my opinion.

arnita, the steakhouse across the harbor that you are thinking of is probably patagonia. we've had some great meals there. i had great meals at papaya moon too but unfortunately, we didn't make it to paradise moon on our most recent trip. i can understand the increase in prices...i'll bet rent at the new location is a lot higher than at the old.

Loved Papaya Moon, love Paradise Moon! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is fantastic, and Pam, Carl & their entire staff are the best! They work very hard & have overcome many obstacles.....I wish them much success, they certainly deserve it! Totally agree with Bruce, the walking sticks, shredded pork tacos and stuffed ranch chicken are to die for!

Karen had the fish tacos last night, they were excellent, and three of them is a big meal. I had the Mozzarella steak, also very good. And Carl wasn't even cooking; he played bartender for a night!

I've been to Bonaire on several dive trips and have had a chance to eat at several spots. Nothing comes close to Paradise Moon. Knew it before as Papaya Moon, but they moved. Love the new location at the marina and the food is still the best on the island. What's great, the items on the menu are so different, you can eat there almost every night, have something really different, and be close (walk or short drive) to most of the dive resorts. Don't miss the walking sticks or pumpkin soup... "tank"
