Just…..amazing - So far, the best thing we’ve booked in Aruba. Our server Alessandra was amazing; funny, quick, super kind, and accommodating. The food was also DELICIOUS. Will be doing it next time during the sunset (we did it at night this time).

It's great! Do it, it's a once in a lifetime experience - It's a bit windy up there! Food was very good. A bit difficult to get into the seats, I think it would be easier to have seats without arms.
Alessandro, our host was amazing, I'd recommend him for sure!!
We did the later dinner, so you could really only see lights. I'd recommend the earlier dinner.
I am still rating the experience as a 5-star due to the amazing host and food.

Incredible experience - We booked the sunset dinner on a Saturday night and couldn't have been more impressed!
The stairs were a bit of an adventure, and if you struggle with mobility or you're larger in waist size, I would respectfully suggest you give this booking a second thought.
That being said, loved the peeks out of the windows as we ascended, and the view from the top was incredible!
The winds are fierce at the top, but the table is set away from the windward side so you're sheltered during your meal.
Allessander was our server, and he was very friendly, polite, and attentive. He made sure to give us time to ourselves between servings, and happily provided information about the area and the experience.
The table is a TIGHT fit, but you can sit at the ends if you have a waist size 38 or above.
We had the osso buco, and the sea bass as main courses and they were two of the best dinner items during our vacation. The prosecco was cold and delicious, and overall I cannot recommend this experience enough if it fits your needs.

Lighthouse experience: 1; Food experience: 0 - This visit was on May 30, 2025 and is cross-posted on Viator.
The lighthouse was pretty neat. After navigating the winding staircase, the last 8 feet or so are steeper and have no rope railings to hold on to so be careful. There is a metal grid fencing at the top to keep you in, as it's very windy up there.
There is around 36 inches of usable space for the table and barstools. The chairs are wire-frame type and have "ears" on each side. I'm 5' 11" with a 34" waist and would have to sit in the chair first, and then perform a few Cirque du Soleil moves to scoot the chair behind the table. After a few miserable attempts, I realized that I should just keep my day job and lean in to the table.
Alessandro was there to take care of everything and even put on some relaxing music on a Bluetooth speaker while we enjoyed our wine.
All was good until dinner was served. We were told that Faro Blanco Restaurant prepares the meals and we were able to see them being brought over.
The Osso Bucco was dry and salty, with no sauce - similar to accidentally simmering it so that all the wine sauce is reduced.
My wife had the Sea Bass and after a few bites mentioned that it had an odd texture and flavor. Then she got dizzy and nauseous and Alessandro provided a small "to go" container that she took advantage of.
With only two lighthouses like this in the world, go and enjoy it. Just don't be too optimistic about the food quality like we did.
