Seafood and Mediterranean cuisine are served in the Barefoot Restaurant, with an emphasis on local ingredients and sustainability. The juice bar offers soft drinks and 'mocktails', while alcoholic beverages can be enjoyed on the hotel’s floating boat bar.

For those visitors with an adventurous streak, you will not have a shortage of outings to take part in. Most guests have suggested turning up for the free snorkelling excursion every afternoon at the private beach, where you will not forget the beautiful underwater sights.
The Barefoot Eco offers buffet-style cuisine, and often with an Italian twist, while guests said they quickly grew accustomed to the incredibly unique flavours and taste. Staff even surprised one guest on his birthday with an array of tuna, shrimp and lobster.
For those who like to relax with an after dinner drink after a long day of local sightseeing, according to guests, the best place to do that is on the top deck, watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean. Most visitors make sure they are back in time not to miss that sight.
Many travellers have suggested that you bring your insect repellent with when you visit The Barefoot Eco. Despite the great efforts by hotel management, the mosquitos are difficult to get rid of. Regardless, if you use a good repellent it will do the trick.
Although the hotel is well-appointed and spotlessly clean, many guests have noticed that plastic bottles and other rubble is either blown across, or drifts across from the ocean and ends up along the beach in front of the hotel. Nonetheless staff do clean up whatever lands up around the hotel.
