Arena rents a lounger and umbrella on Playa La Ropa and runs casual beach food out to it, with cocktails poured on the generous side and cold beer arriving faster than you strictly need it to. The house parrots are part of the furniture and get more attention than the menu. It is a straightforward proposition on a beach that specialises in them: a chair pointed at flat water, shade over your head, and no particular reason to move until the light goes. Sits mid-beach, so it is an easy walk in either direction if you want to see what else is on offer.
