Included in our trip to Virgin Gorda with Dive BVI was a stop at Coco Maya Restaurant for lunch. Coco Maya describes itself as an “open concept, beachfront Latin Asian Fusion restaurant with new tasty cocktails and a casual funky vibe.” It has some of the most interesting combinations I’ve seen both with regard to food and drink. A perfect example is the Raspberry Chili Cocktail, a blend of raspberry vodka, cointreau, lime, and cranberry. The jalapeno chili provides just a touch of zip to the drink.

Taste of the Caribbean takes us to the British Virgin Islands today. The Ceviche Salad at Coco Maya on Virgin Gorda is a refreshing blend of fresh fish, tomatoes, onions, and peppers, served over a bed of greens, and topped with a scoop of coconut sorbet. Pair it with the restaurant’s zingy Raspberry Chili Martini, with slices of jalapeño pepper, and you may just have found the perfect lunch. It hits the spot after you finish “The Crawl” at The Baths! For more on our trip to Virgin Gorda, including The Baths, Coco Maya, Savannah Bay, and Hog Heaven, read our Virgin Gorda trip report!

The perfect combination of delicious food and great views. #9 Sip lemon grass water in a lounge chair at the Four Seasons Nevis. The flavored water of the day at the Four Seasons Nevis changes daily, but the lemon grass is the best.…
