I'm conflicted about how to rate Happy Island in late March 2026. The lore and photos of this place are legendary so we were beyond excited to visit. In the end I am glad we went...and that we went at sunset. The view is to die for. Drinks are $10US. Drinks were ok. Menu is quite limited right now so we decided to eat elsewhere (back in Clifton). We could tell immediately the building has seen better days, yet we didn't understand Happy Island's latest chapter until after we had left it. Apparently during Beryl waves washed over the building. Without insurance, the owner is working to rebuild his life's work shell by shell. It's nothing short of a devastating loss for him, for all the locals and for the many charter crews and cruisers who know the essence and importance of this place and believe in it. I will Happily go back and just hand over $$ in person to support his mission.

Make your way out here, the drinks are STRONG. Pace yourself. There is some access to the water on this incredible feat of a building built with vision and ingenuity.
