We were just there, and made reservations pretty much every night when we wanted to go out. That said, we had at least four, and as many as seven, people, so it just seemed the right thing to do. It may or may not have been necessary, depending on where we ate. We also make reservations at beaches, even if it's only two of us. I find we get much better service when we do, and they remember us the next time we come.
