Great menu that will appeal to most all tastes. A laid back atmosphere, friendly staff and clean property make this a "must stop" if your in the area.

This is a very reliable and professional place. Casual and easy going, with everything you need. Great meals with a wide variety to suit different dietary needs; fruit smoothies, burgers, awesome huevos rancheros, fish specials, espresso, palpeetas...friendly and attentive service, convenient location and perks included use of pool and Bocce court. Just a short walk from the beach, so perfect... More

Very good Lunch and dinners. I loved the schnitzels,and a great spot to hang out just for a drink. Love the live music in the evenings close to the beach and other places. Fun atmosphere.

Food and people are great. Very friendly and yummy. The music and atmosphere are great. This is a bar setting and is super close to the beach. Feel comfortable in a swimsuit and flip flops after a day surfing at the beach. For a bar the food was outstanding.

This place is fine at best. It is has decent bar food and drinks at high prices. The staff have a bit of an attitude too. One positive was the dogs that were wandering around were cute, and more personable than the waiters.

This was my favorite restaurant in Nosara. Food is GREAT and very reasonably priced. The wait staff were all very friendly and even let me order something that wasn't on the menu. The atmosphere was great too whether in the bar, near the pool or in the garden area. I love the dogs being there too as I missed mine... More
