Right on the beach, we walked over after building an appetite surfing. My group and I all ordered several different drinks and I tasted them all. They were all so amazing! We also ordered several different meals and shared a bit of each. The food was equally delicious and it was a very cool little spot between the main drive... More

We started at nibbana at happy hour for drinks 4-7 pm 2 for 1 drinks. Safe to say happy hour was a very good time! We sat at a table next to the beach and had an amazing view if a giant red sun as it set for the night. As the sun set hundreds of latterns and twinkle lights... More

Food was excellent. We opted for a table close to the beach, and we were not disappointed with our beautiful view of the sunset at night.

What a great spot! We found ourselves there a few times for breakfast as well as happy hour. Breakfast was delicious, inexpensive and happy hour was 11am-1pm and 4pm-7pm! Very friendly staff!

This is my 6th trip to Tamarindo in 2 years and we always enjoy our time at Nibbanna. The atmosphere is nice, service is very good, but most of all, the food is consistently great. We always enjoy the lobster. It was very disappointing that the new owner elected to drop the best cheese plate in Costa Rica from the... More

This place can add up quickly with drinks and dinner but it is because it is soooo good you can't resist and the beach setting is so relaxing that you can't help but linger. The seafood kabob, pasta dishes, and ceviche are all great and the service is awesome. Can't say enough. Try it for yourself.

This is a decent restaurant. The location is great... it's on the main strip along with lots of other restaurants, bars, etc. and it's in front of the beach, which means a nice view. The pizza is pretty good. Not fabulous, but totally edible. It's a little overpriced compared to other places, and not nearly as good as Baula's Pizza,... More

Loved sitting by the beach, watching the gorgeous sunset while taking advantage of 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. The choice of drinks on the happy hour menu was good, but we were disappointed that mojitos were not an option unlike so many other places on Tamarindo's main street. The dinner menu looked good but overall was disappointing when it... More

We were seated at a great spot right on the beach with a great view. The atmosphere was completely amazing which complimented the food even more. The wait staff was extremely on top of everything, my water glass never got less than half empty before someone came and refilled it. We were given complimentary soup (I can't remember which one,...
