Power Moves: Make Your Favorites Work Harder

Optimize your Favorites into a streamlined, realistic plan using the tips below.

Use filters to build themed food days

• Filter by Type to plan a dessert crawl (e.g., save spots under Dessert & Bakery like Sweeti Bakery) or a beachfront evening (e.g., beach venues highlighted on the site such as Bari Beach Bar, Biña Restaurant & Bar, and Sebastian’s Beach).
• Filter by Region to cluster picks and reduce drive time. For example, group oceanfront dining in one area for a sunset stroll.

Combine restaurants with must‑see views

• Save ocean‑front favorites like Brass Boer at Delfins Beach Resort, Rum Runners Bar & Restaurant, and Ingridiënts Restaurant at Buddy Dive Resort to pair great food with panoramic sea views.

Toggle between list and map

• Scan your Favorites list to confirm details, then switch to the Favorites Map to visualize your day. This back‑and‑forth helps you balance variety (e.g., a morning hike, mid‑day snorkel, dinner by the water) with proximity.

Reset fast when you over‑filter

• Hit Clear All Filters at the top of the Restaurants results to instantly return to the complete set of 34 restaurants.

Make the global tools your planning hub
