Jornada gastronómica del Caldero. El pasado 16/05/25 visitamos el Restaurante Rincón de Santi en los Arenales del Sol para disfrutar de la 2a jornada gastronómica del Caldero, uno de sus platos estrellas. Al evento asistieron unas 90-100 personas y todo salió sobre ruedas. Para comenzar habían preparado una mesa espectacular de salazones y embutidos y un cortador de jamón. Los asistentes se fueron acomodando en sus mesas para empezar a degustar el menu del evento compuesto por pan de pueblo con sobrasada, calamar de potera a la plancha, Gamba Blanca hervida, ensaladilla de merluza con quisquilla y ensalada de tomate trinchado con pericana. Más tarde llegó el plato estrella del día: el caldero marinero con fideuá. Y para culminar nos prepararon una tarta de turrón con su helado. La atención fue maravillosa y la diversión estuvo asegurada con la compañía y el DJ que amenizó el tardeo hasta las 20. Es un placer visitar este restaurante a orillas del Mar Mediterráneo.

Ha sido un muy buen restaurante, se comía muy bien, buenos precios y los dueños GRANDES PERSONAS. Una lástima que no hay más personas como ellos. Muy buenas experiencias, cada vez que he ido.

Ayer día 22/11/2025 realicé el convite de mi boda en el rincón de Santi. No hay mejor sitio que este de verdad. Solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento por todo lo que hicisteis, el equipo un 10, la cocina 10 y el trató inigualable. Mil gracias por ser parte de mi día y hacer que todos lo invitados estuvieran encantados. Sin duda lo recomiendo al 100 x 100. Mil gracias por todo Santi! Mejor imposible!! 🫶🏻

Excellent menu great food nice atmosphere. Lovely and clean very professional staff. Great steaks. Perfect place for a special occasion.

You need a reservation before you get there. We was very lucky to get a table without reservation. Food exceptional and stuff as well. They speak English as well.

The setting adjacent to the Beach is to die for. Food was delicious with very large portions. Not the cheapest in the area but certainly up their with the best Customer service was superb. We try to talk in spanish but often in restaurants staff talk back in english. Not hear they talk to you in whatever language you use but interject in your native language if you are having difficulty.

La comida está rica calidad precio pero el servicio deja mucho que desear, este no es el lugar para pedir un arroz ni carne, lo mejor los pescadores fritos, las papas con alioli, la pata de pulpo y la cerveza que la sirven bien fría, buenas vistas a la playa de los arenales

Restaurante en primera línea de playa con ubicación inmejorable, la comida se notaba que era todo fresco, los calamares buenísimos y los berberechos. Lo único el arroz que estamos acostumbrado a más sabor y potencia de Santa Pola y este estaba muy suave.

Cocina de producto. Servicio muy organizado, rápido y amable. Las zamburiñas estaban muy ricas y el arroz del senyoret también estaba bastante bueno. El fondo estaba correcto y nada fuerte, últimamente te pides arroz en cualquier restaurante y los fondos son muy fuertes o salados pero aquí estaba muy rico. El servicio muy profesional y atento.

Restaurante a pie de playa. Con más de 30 años, reformado en un estilo moderno hace tres años. Buena terraza a nivel de la arena. Ideal para tomar unas tapas con tu bebida preferida bien fría. Preferible hacer reserva para comer.

The lobster paella is impressive and the outdoor seating that faces on to the beach is lovely. It is a little pricey and the indoor seating is less impressive. Very busy on weekends over the Summer season so book ahead if you're set on eating here. Special mention to the desserts section so save room!

Lo mejor: Primera línea de playa. El resto: Para empezar, nos pidieron que estuviéramos 15 minutos antes de la hora reservada para elegir el arroz; tardaron 15 minutos en sentarnos en la mesa después de pedirle a 3 camareros que nos atendieran; nos tomaron nota otros 15 minutos después y, aquí, sorpresa, nos indican que no se pueden pedir 2 tipos de arroz diferente por mesa. Entiendo que haya un mínimo de 2 comensales por arroz pero en una mesa de 7 personas el no poder elegir 2 tipos distintos para probarlos no me parece normal estando en un restaurante de arroces. Para nuestro gusto, el arroz (senyoret) estaba salado y muy fuerte de sabor. La ración correcta, pedimos para 5 y sobró para repetir. Los entrantes y el postre muy ricos pero otra nota negativa vino con el solomillo de ternera que pidió mi hijo. 26 euros por una lámina de solomillo que no llegaba ni a 100 gramos. El pobre se tuvo que comer un bocadillo al salir. En general pudimos observar un trato bastante diferente entre los "habituales" del lugar y los turistas.

No le puedo poner más nota porque nos dejaron casi media hora esperando teniendo reserva a una hora determinada y encima no fue muy amable con nosotras. Aunque los demás camareros sí que lo fueron. Pedimos los berberechos que no estaban mal, y el arroz del senyoret que la verdad es que no tenía ni una gamba, como podéis ver en la foto muy pobre. De postre pedimos sandía que estaba buena. Para beber vino. Éramos 3 personas y tocamos a casi 40€ que la verdad me pareció caro para el trato por la espera que nos dio y la calidad.

Got uncooked meat, staff was just there and didn’t quite interact with us only said “what do you want” not very welcoming.

Steven McCullagh

Only stayed for 2 oysters and drinks. Oysters were good but over-priced. Staff hovered near us the entire time expecting us to order a main meal... yeah, not at those prices Beach Food is right across the road and delicious!

Kjetil JD

Not cheap, good food, but had to wait almost 1,5 hours to get the main course after ordering ... even if we were the first guests in the evening. Didn't have half the dishes in the menu, didn't have the wine we wanted. Claimed our fish was for 3.5 people, and it hardly fed three people. After all this they gave absolutely no rebate or anything.

Fuimos 6 personas , habíamos encargado arroz con bogavante para todos. De entradas almejas , pequeñas e insípidas y sumergidas en medio litro de líquido que no se le puede llamar salsa. Unas zambouriñas bastante sosas. Y el arroz muy bien de sabor pero nos costo descubrir las pequeñísimas colas del animal . Nos pusieron pinzas para degustar la supuesta langosta , pero non hacían falta porque la cascara estaba totalmente reblandecida muchachada y sin contenido en el interior . Lo que ha bajado la calidad desde hace 2 años es deprimente.

Average food burnt. Unpleasant. Small portions. I don't recommend it

Maria Muuli

Food was by far the worst we have had in a long time. Service was so - so. Atmosphere was nice.

Elie Ambar

The arroz bogavante for two was tasteless and the portions we had were ridiculously small for 44 euros! The only good thing was the sea view. Never again!

Soldeplata Saketos

Vegetarian unfriendly, vegan impossible. I survived based on bread, alioli and fries. The location of the place is great, and the service was correct.

Florin Nita

The restaurant is very expensive and staff very tough and unprofessional. Many items from the menu they dont have.

I recently had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was absolutely terrible, and communication was a major issue as the staff seemed to have a limited understanding of English. They even refused to serve me a small order despite the restaurant still being open and filled with customers. What's worse is that I was overcharged for a dish and when I brought it up, they tried to justify it by claiming the fish was a certain weight. This was clearly a dishonest attempt to cover up their mistake. Additionally, I witnessed other customers receiving drinks from the restaurant's bar and enjoying them on the beach, yet the staff denied doing such a thing when I inquired about it. The behavior of the staff was unacceptably racist and arrogant. One waitress even suggested that I go buy my food from a shop instead of serving me. This level of disrespect and mistreatment left a sour taste in my mouth, especially considering the amount I spent on lunch. I strongly advise you to avoid this restaurant if you value good service, fair pricing, and respectful treatment as a customer. It is important for such establishments to acknowledge and address these issues in order to provide a positive dining experience for all... The worst restaurant I've ever been! The services are terrible! They are liars. They don't speak English at all !! People from the UK and other countries please try to avoid this restaurant! They charge me twice for one dish and they tried to explain to me that the fish was 400 g. of weight! When the restaurant was still open, full of customers I asked them to take a small order like 2 beers and ice cream for my children and they refused saying that they are closed!! Can you believe it. ?? I saw some Spanish people with a beer from that restaurant when they were lying under the umbrellas and on the sunbeds but they lied to my face that they are not doing this !!! They were racist and arrogant people! One of the waitresses sends me to buy my food at the shop! Can you believe how they treat customers? I spent there almost €130 for lunch and they were still very mean to me...I don't accept that kind of behaviour at all!

I will give them one star cuz we ordered " paella" and it was super salty, plus the Alioli had a lot of garlic, more than it should.

Dana Popa

Wouldn’t serve me with the excuse they are closed at the kitchen. I was on my own with a baby so they didn’t wanted to serve me when they were serving other families
