Bamboo Fence Restaurant & Swing Bar in San Pedro

"Our server 'Smokey' was super friendly. My pork chop dinner was the BEST food I've had on the island all week!!!! I can't wait to come back and share this amazing food with my son someday. Thanks for the great experience!!! Watching the kids play in the water was the highlight of our time there."

"It was a great day at Secrets Beach for the eleven of us family and friends! It was our first time and we plan to return again this weekend. We visited various restaurants before settling at the Bamboo Swing Bar. We were lured in by the island music that was playing on the beach - it was vibing. It was also nice to know that credit cards were acceptable. Actually, the majority of restaurant bars at Secrets Beach accepted credit cards. We also liked the larger water space and all the picnic tables that were spread through out at Bamboo Swing Bar compared to other areas at Secrets Beach. We had so much fun and it was so relaxing, we stayed in the water pretty much 95% of the time (1130a-330p). Unfortunately, there was not much to brag about as a handful of their lounge chairs and table needed to be disposed due damages and/or missing parts. Definitely an eyesore and recommend Bamboo Swing Bar replace damage items and cleaning up around the area daily. Good food and drinks overall. The shrimp ceviche was tasty compared to Blue Bayou’s restaurant, which was right next door. All servers at Bamboo Swing Bar were attentive and hard working. Props to server Priscilla"

"When you arrive at Secret Beach, there are people along the road trying to get you to turn and go to their establishment. We had wanted to go to the Swing Bar, so we headed that way. Max greeted us, showed us where to park. Offered us our first shot on the house, and took care to make sure two of those shots were non-alcoholic for our teen and one non drinking adult. Max provided outstanding service, bringing drinks out to us in the water, taking and delivering our food order, and checking in many time. It was early in the day so there weren’t many people there, but as we stayed on more arrived, we still received wonderful service. Food was… just ok. I wouldn’t go back for the food. But the drinks were mixed well. Atmosphere- swings and picnic tables in the water is a super fun idea. All of them are in a pretty poor state of disrepair; they could definitely be freshened up and repaired. Only a couple of photos since we were in the water."

"We posted up at Swing Bar for almost a full day! Jeff was our server and he made the experience unforgettable! He was beyond attentive, friendly, and personable. Drinks were great and music was better than Blue Bayou in my opinion. Wish we could have stayed longer as they started a bonfire and had a DJ as we were leaving. We will definitely be back to see Jeff!"

"This place had great service , our waitress was Tanzia, she was very attentive and helpful. The food had the most flavor on the island. They come out with the seafood for you to choose from. Music was vibes. Overall I would recommend this place. We had a great time & the best food!"

"Delicious drinks, especially the mojitos. The grilled lobster and lobster tacos were the highlights from our dinner. Highly recommended. They had a great place to swim and spend time in the water with benches, slides, swings, and a volleyball net."

"We came here to check out Secret Beach. We did not eat or have drinks, but we did enjoy the picnic tables in the water and the swings. It was nicw to be able to hang out and not feel like we had to buy anything."

"We had lunch at Bamboo Fence and Swing Bar while visiting Secret Beach in July 2025. Like most places in the area, they have tables in the water, but these could use more regular cleaning—lots of algae and buildup. The setup felt a bit less organized compared to neighboring spots, which looked better maintained overall. The food was good. We had the quesadilla, a hamburger, and the nachos—nachos are definitely the highlight. Piña coladas were tasty, and the beer was cold, though we had to remind the staff about our beer order. Service was very slow despite the place not being busy. Prices are typical for Secret Beach, with piña coladas at $25 BZD—more expensive than in San Pedro town but standard for the area. Bathrooms were available, but there was no running water. Also, while there’s a large sign saying they only take cash, they do accept credit cards. Be aware that the umbrellas don’t tilt, so as the sun moves, shade becomes limited. Boats arriving near shore can also kick up waves that reach the shoreline tables. Overall, not a bad experience, but there are likely better-organized options nearby. Worth a stop if you’re already at Secret Beach, but don’t expect top-tier service."
