Where to eat in Pico de Loro
The restaurants, cafes and bars inside the cove — and the kitchens in our suites for the nights you would rather stay in.
The short answer
Everything is inside the cove
Pico de Loro Cove sits on Hamilo Coast, a gated resort community, so dining happens within the gates rather than in a town outside. The outlets cluster in three places: Pico Sands Hotel, the Country Club, and the Beach Club and beachfront.
Cuisine ranges from all-day Filipino and Asian dishes to Italian, Spanish tapas and Mediterranean plates, plus cafes for coffee and quick bites. The resort is cashless, so a card or GCash covers every meal. A few Beach Club venues are reserved for members and their accompanied guests, and lineups shift with the season — so once you have dates, message us and we will tell you what is open to you.
At the hotel
Pico Sands Hotel
The hotel's outlets are the most straightforward for overnight guests staying in the cove.
- Pico Restaurant and Bar
- The hotel's restaurant and bar, one combined outlet serving Italian dishes with an al fresco patio.
- Grab N Go
- Coffee, snacks and basic essentials for a quick stop on the way to the beach or back to your room.
At the Country Club
Country Club dining
The Country Club is the resort's all-day hub, open to resort guests, with a casual spot beside the lanes.
- Lagoa
- Signature all-day dining — a Filipino-themed buffet on weekends and holidays, and a la carte Asian and regional dishes on weekdays.
- Billiards and Bowling
- A casual hall serving all-day snacks, appetisers and drinks alongside the lanes.
At the beach
Beach Club and beachfront
The Beach Club and the sand hold the widest range of flavours. Several of these are reserved for members and their accompanied guests, so treat them as a maybe until we confirm your access.
- Sun Coral Cafe
- Mediterranean cuisine and Filipino favourites at the Beach Club. Reserved for members and their accompanied guests.
- Arribada
- Spanish tapas — paella, salpicao, lengua. Members and accompanied guests only, and closed some weekdays.
- The Juice Box
- Fresh fruit and vegetable blends on the Beach Club ground floor. Members and accompanied guests only.
- Reef Bar
- A Tex-Mex menu and drinks right by the sand. It opens seasonally, so it is not something to count on year-round.
Eating in
Cook in your suite
Not every meal needs a restaurant. Both of our apartments have full kitchens, which is quietly one of the best reasons to book a stay rather than a day visit.
Cook a proper dinner after a long beach day, keep breakfast simple before the pool, or store cold drinks for the balcony — the Boutique Suite and the Family Suite both give you the room to do it. The first five-gallon water bottle is provided; refills can be limited in peak season, so it is worth planning your groceries and drinking water before you settle in.
Good to know

A few things that make dining inside the cove smoother.

- Hours shift seasonally
- Opening days and hours move with the season and can close some weekdays, so message us for what is open on your dates.
- Peak-season crowds
- On busy weekends and holidays the popular outlets fill up, so eat a little earlier or later, or cook in to skip the wait.
- Outside delivery
- Delivery into the cove is not officially documented, so confirm with us before planning on it.
