NORTHWEST COAST. How to make a happening nightspot on a tropical island: Take one sandy beach, add two palapas and a mess of lounge chairs. Bring in plenty of coconut rum, blue curacao, tequila and peach schnapps, plus a friendly bartender or three who know how to mix them. Devise a tasty menu of Caribbean seafood and grilled meat. Sprinkle liberally with island music. Shake or stir till well-blended. Call your creation MooMba Beach. Voila! It doesn't sound too difficult...

GREATER ORANJESTAD. This festive bar and grill serves up island food favorites like Jamaican jerk chicken and Caribbean style ribs.

If you survive the heady cocktails, be sure to treat yourself to a logo t-shirt as proof.

GREATER ORANJESTAD. This chic cigar bar and jazz club is fashionably decorated with animal print carpet, black granite tables, and designer bar stools. Live jazz acts set the mood for revelers looking to sip and smoke. Single malt scotch, fine cognac and port are the house's speciality drinks. And if the Cuban cigars aren't to your liking, try one of the smaller, flavored "ladies'" cigars. This is a favorite happy hour spot and also an after-dinner drink and dessert spot.

SAN NICOLAS. This bar has been an island legend for more than 50 years. Many people visit just to study the outrageous décor: banners, pennants, posters, stickers and bric-a-brac cover the ceiling and walls. Though many come the first time to gawk while they sip on a cold beer, Charlie's keeps them coming back with surprisingly good seafood, especially Creole squid and "shrimps jumbo and dumbo." (Dumbo because they got caught!) Charlie's also cooks a mean Argentine-style steak, and their trademark "honeymoon sauce" is fabulous, and hot, hot, hot!

NORTHWEST COAST. This trendy piano bar is nestled amongst the high rise hotels on Palm Beach. Sip on a Bikini martini and kick back with a Cuban cigar while the multi-talented piano players entertain you. Things get hopping when patrons sing along with the musicians who take requests for everything from Frank Sinatra to Elton John. Open-aired and relaxed, this is the place trendy enough to wear the stylish dress you packed, "just in case," or come casual as you like. The only requirement is to obey the motto: "Let's have fun!"
