Good Service
This place has some amazing vibes 🌴 While the Cabo de Rama Cave itself is stunning with those dramatic cliffside views and intriguing rock formations, the real highlight for me was the restaurant on the hilltop near the fort. The food was fire 🔥, and the views while dining were simply breathtaking. Enjoying a delicious meal with the Arabian Sea stretching out before you is just the best. Definitely worth a visit for the food and the scenery!
