Guest review: great food. The service was poor because they were overwhelmed with customers. Apparently they didn't expect a few extra hundred people in town for the race. A 10-min walk from your place.

Sightseeing
If you like recreational water activity, Lake Powell is truly amazing. The water is warm from June through early October and there are many accessible and even private beaches for swimming. There is a National Park entrance fee that you pay as you enter the parking area. You can take a tour (look up rainbow Bridge tour) or you can rent a boat or wave runners for the day. Some tours are available year-round and even when the water is cold, the trip up and around the lake and its many canyons is well worth it.
It is cheaper to rent boats and wave runners in the city of Page, but you will need to pull the trailer with the watercraft towed by your vehicle. Here are the names of some companies to research for watercraft rentals.

Things to Do and See Around Page
Big Lake Sand Cave
To find information on this unique spot just 10 minutes from your vacation home, search online for Big Lake Sand Cave, an article by Live, Love, Run, Travel.
The western shore of Lake Powell is bordered by sandy flats, crossed by highway US 89, but the land rises a little further west by about 600 feet to a broad mesa, spanning the Arizona/Utah stateline. The northeast corner forms a narrow promontory known as Stud Horse Point, approaching to within a few hundred feet of the road, and while there is little of interest on the level ground on top or below the escarpment, the sloping cliffs around the edge of the mesa do harbor some photogenic places, the best being a little ravine which is lined by several dozen large hoodoos, composed of dark brown, partly conglomerate boulders on top of green or red pedestals, made especially scenic by the big drop-off just beyond, with Lake Powell visible in the distance.
Other places along the mesa edge have lesser eroded features, and much exposed slickrock in a range of muted colors. Also worth visiting, at the foot of the cliffs, are a couple of short slot canyons, at the head of an unnamed drainage that joins the lake several miles east, right opposite Lone Rock.

The most visited and spectacular location nearby is Horseshoe Bend, only 15 minutes from your vacation home.
Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River and is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon.” It is located 5 miles (8.0 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Page.
It is accessible down an easy .5 mile hiking path with little elevation or slope. The path takes off immediately from the parking area.
Horseshoe Bend is viewed from the steep cliff above. The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop. There are safety rails in place.
Early morning is the best time to go but sunsets are also spectacular.
Parking fees are $10 per car.

The Wave” attracts flocks of photographers and sightseers to southern Utah each day, and—given its popularity—is now limited by a permit lottery that is next-to-impossible to win. Fortunately, the characteristic undulating Navajo sandstone knobs and ruddy gulches of the Wave/North Coyote Buttes area are relatively ubiquitous across the region, offering other opportunities to witness similar—although perhaps not as iconic—formations up close without need for a day use permit. One such alternative, which has become known as “The New Wave,” is easily accessible from Page, Arizona and is situated just inside the boundary of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area around Glen Canyon Dam. The New Wave is a Wave like rock formation and while it is certainly no "Wave" it is a good destination should you have extra time while in the Page area. Like The Wave it is made of Navajo sandstone and has extensive fine detail and cross bedding. It opens to the northeast and gets even light mid-afternoon. Do not get there too late or the rocks to the southwest will block the sun's rays. It also photographs reasonably well at sunrise shooting towards the southwest.
250 yards to the south-southeast of The New Wave is a rock formation I'm calling Radio Tower Rock, named after the nearby radio towers. This formation is also Wave like and is more photogenic than The New Wave. It should definitely be seen if you're stopping at The New Wave. If you only have a little time in Page skip The New Wave and go here first. Like The New Wave the formation opens to the northeast. It is best shot mid to late afternoon. In spring and summer the other side of the formation should get light at sunrise. The formation frames Tower Butte and Navajo Mountain, and shooting to the north brings in Lake Powell. The radio towers and US89 will work their way into some of your images. They will be small and can be cloned out if you wish to bring your image to a more natural state.
If you are interested in tafoni (small round smooth-edged cave like openings in rock) the ridge to the west of The New Wave has lots of it. The tafoni here pales in comparison to the much better known Paria Windows but is worth seeing if you are in the area and like to explore.

Waterholes Canyon is a slot canyon, which is a canyon that has been formed over the centuries through water erosion. Therefore, deeper than it is wide and this, combined with its shape, helps to create beautiful plays of light especially when the sun is perpendicular to the canyon.
Until recently, unlike the aforementioned Antelope Canyon, people could explore Water Holes Canyon on their own without a guide. Now things have changed. To book a tour you must go through Waterhole Canyon Experience, a Navajo family-owned and operated business that operates the guided tours.
Water Holes Canyon is located just south of Page and the entrance is along US-89 about 2.8 miles from Horseshoe Bend. If you are coming from the Grand Canyon (therefore, you are coming from the south), you will have to cross a bridge and then, on your right, you will find a small clearing where you can park your car. If you are coming from the north, which means you will be passing through Page, the clearing will be on your left before you reach the bridge.

One of the truly classic hiking trails in the United States, let alone the world, Buckskin Gulch swerves through a subterranean paradise for the senses. Attempt this visually-arresting walk as a day trip, or walk the entire 20 miles over the course of four days.
Located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (near Kanab, Utah) and Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness (Arizona), Buckskin Gulch trails takes hikers through the veritable layer cake of the Colorado Plateau's geographical wonderment. It is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the Southwest and offers obstacles like rock jams, pools, quicksand, and the potential for flash floods. Yet a day hike option via Wire Pass Trail is moderately easy, and should be a must-do tour on any hiker's list.
