Managed by an English couple, the Colony's highlights don't just run to location and decoration but also to food. It's a seafood lover's paradise here, with a fresh catch making it to the table in variety of forms: prawns, tuna, lobster, sear fish and mussels, to forms: Prawns, tuna, lobster, sear fish and mussels, to name a few.
