Went to Zi's for the first time after by-passing it for a number of years. A friend recommended the food. We shared a mix selection of tapas and dishes. Everything was delicious. The service was excellent. The only minor negative is the music was a bit too loud to allow conversation with my friends. However the ambiance and music selections... More

Zi Lounge is ok-the food is alright, but pretty expensive. Good drink specials for happy hour. Never saw it busy in here but the people that work here are nice

I was pretty disappointed with Playas del Coco. This seemed to be one of the two places to go and dance (Lizard Lounge being the other). We went for drinks on a Saturday night. Bar service was average. They played a lot of American music and the crowd wasn't very friendly. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess, but... More

Another great bar on the main drag of Coco. Cold beer and good food, really cheap during Happy Hour. You'll enjoy this place!

We visited Zi's for a quick dinner one night an was quite surprised how good the food was. I ordered chicken fahitas which was very good and plentiful. My wife had a mango chicken dinner that was bland but still good. Service was very good....beer was ice cold. I read service was slow but not when we were there. We... More

We just returned from Costa Rica. One day we got into the car and decided to visit another beach area so we drove to Playa del Coco. Instead of the beach area we thought we would find, we found a lively street of many restaurants and shops. After walking up and down the street once, my husband said let's go... More

We just stopped here for one last beer on our way out of Coco Beach, I think we hit it on the cusp, of going from restaurant to bar/night club. Service was slow, and then once we were served, we were told it was time for her to finish, so we needed to pay. Had kind of a high end... More

Took a friend out to begin his birthday oarty and ended up leaving at 2am. There was a great crowd that night. I think it was a Thursday night. Seems everyone in town was at Zi. Dance music varied between local and US hits. Bartenders were quick and the beer was cold and inexpensive. We only partied here, and didn't... More
