We ate breakfast here everyday of our 3 day stay and dinner once. Breakfasts were all excellent. We both had a tuna main course. Both were very well presented and very tasty indeed. This was not the best meal we had during our 12 day trip but not far off. The food was not jaw droppingly amazing but dry hard... More

We had fish sandwiches here - some had the full sandwich, some had the half portion. The half portion was plenty big! The service was good and the beer cold. The location is great - right near the beach. A fun spot for lunch.

Getting to this restaurant is part of the adventure. We drove down a steep driveway to the parking area, and then were shuttled up to the restaurant via golf cart. The restaurant was not yet open for dinner, so we had a drink at the bar. The decor and view are very pleasing. We were asked several times if we... More

We´ve just had our honeymoon at Arenas and could not believe how great the place was. The staff and food were so good that we ate there 5 out of 7 nights! The views and facilities were also great. The beaches are nice although there can be strong rips and powerful beach breaks, but there are 2 great pools to... More

We have been here several times in the last 2 months and the beach setting is wonderful as is the food. The staff are very good and you are not rushed to get in and leave. This week we were 6 people at lunch and everyone felt the food, presentation and value for money was great. We have yet to... More

Stylish restaurant with stunning views. Extensive menu featuring Costa Rican cuisine as well as International favourites, generally very well cooked and presented (the occasional miss for the European palate) with friendly efficient service. Recommended.
