Fodor's Expert Review Batelière Beach Club (BBC)

At this thatch-roof beach bar, on any given day DJs might be spinning local and international sounds. The bar puts out strong (and pricey) tropical cocktails, though the food is less expensive than at the hotel's restaurant. Just plan not to be in a hurry, especially on the weekends. It attracts a mainly young crowd, and now, predominantly, a local one as well as guests from L'Hôtel La Batelière. With free parking and tight security because of the casino, it is a safe haven for tourists and one big party place.
