Pepe's On The Beach

"After reading reviews, I wasn't honestly planning to go. But we were staying at Novotel & was hungry so my family dine in at Pepes. Yes, it's not perfect. Some dirt seating & menus were oily. But I loved the atmosphere, loved their staff & warm welcome & more than anything, food was great too.."

"Terrible food, average cocktails. Me and my friends a spent Saturday there and ordered 10-12 drinks each over the afternoon for a birthday celebration and didn’t get even slightly tipsy. One round of cocktails would be delicious and the next round of the same would be dreadful. Random, instrumental elevator style music played over the course of the afternoon. The food was so bad. Fish and chips - the fish was so over cooked the batter was visibly brown and burnt. The chips were fine but otherwise really not good. Some of the staff are cheerful and friendly but there’s one girl who kept wandering around to deliver drinks like she was at a funeral. Surprising for a hospitality venue."

"Enjoyed my experience at the venue last week. Would be 5 stars but the menus had a thin layer of grime coating their surface. Was served by a nice young prince charming by the name of Matt, who had a bright smile and a twinkle in his eye, it's a breath of fresh air to have service from someone so friendly. looking forward to returning once the menus are cleaned."

"I would put a 0 if I could! The food was mediocre, however the standard of cleanliness was palpably disturbing to my family and I as we were dining. Upon seating, the tables were very sticky, as well as the menus. We had to put effort into pulling apart the menus because they were stuck together with a yellow substance with even hairs stuck to a few menus. We asked a waitress to clean the table and the menus yet after she was done they were still sticky? Ultimately, we had to use hand sanitizers and wipes to properly clean the tables, and menus in order to sit and look properly. This is not withstanding the fact that there was stains on the highly worn out couches. The jugs and cups which were served were stained implying that they weren’t cleaned properly. Ultimately, if the cutlery and dishes were not cleaned properly, this leads me to wonder what sanitary implications are being enforced in the kitchen. As much as I am a dog person, I am firmly against the notion of allowing dogs into places where food is served. Ever second customer brought in a dog! This was a turn off from the food for me, why are we eating with dogs?? Also, the bathrooms are really confusing, what’s a wench? A 0 star would be above a compliment to you! I was expecting a higher standard of cleanliness especially from restaurant I’ve always seen as busy with people. The araf is unimaginable"

"PEPES on the beach is THE place to go on the beach. It’s easily located and unmissable once you see the umbrellas, it offers stellar views to the beach and a very good temperature controlled environment so you can eat comfortably. I’ve been here four times now and the background music is always a vibe that I enjoy and it’s not overbearing. This venue has great steering arrangements which are never too difficult to get, private booths are also available- booths have mechanical shade if required. The food is delicious and is always fresh! Drinks are delicious and reasonably priced!!! UPDATE the ice cream donut sandwich is amazing!! 5/5"
