We arrived after sunset and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. We thought that would mean speedier service....sadly, no. We got our ceviche and drinks in quick order but our dinner (a green salad and a plate of skewered shrimp with mashed potatoes and beans) took 30 minutes. The worst part was that when he did get...

My wife and I happened upon this after some internet browsing for a good lookout point to see the sunset. Unfortunately for us this time of year the sunsets are usually lost in the afternoon thunderstorms/rain, HOWEVER the view was still amazing for the daylight we had (about 40 minutes) and the service was prompt. We were able to get... More

I found out about Ronny's Place from Frommers and boy oh boy did it not dissapoint! Head up there about an hour before sunset, order some drinks served in a coconut or pinapple, sit on one of the bar style tables and watch the show!

It was raining so it was not busy maybe 4 tables. So no sunset :(. Foods was just ok, the "famous" sangria was ok. The service was slow, with only 4 tables. Fr this trip we won't go back maybe next time.

This restaurant is a must when visiting Manuel Antonio. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean you will experience authentic Costa Rican cuisine in an amazing setting.

We had several "locals" recommend Ronny's to us so we just had to try it. The view and watching the sunset was spectacular, the sangria was the best I've ever had, the food was a huge disappointment and the service was mediocre at best. It would have been a perfect night if we had only gone for drinks while watching... More

Getting there after sunset, there are no views. The restaurant has the potential to be crudely atmospheric, but winds up being just crude. The fish did not taste fresh, and was overcooked. Over all, the food was very ordinary. Talked up by cab drivers, but was Disappointing.
