A plate for everyone!
Pizza is always a great option, but don't be fooled as there are many other options in the menu. Ask for the day's special.

We love this place. We go regularly to have breakfast, lunch, and the special dinner night offered on Wednesdays. The dinner menu changes weekly and it is by reservation only. Highly recommended. Not to be missed.
Breakfast and lunch are fantastic. The crêpes and sandwiches are a family favorite. Iced coffee on a hot day is a nice treat too!

Sightseeing
Playa Hermosa is the most beautiful beach in the southern Nicoya Peninsula, and despite all the tourists in the area, is still to this day nearly empty.
This beach has one of the best sunsets in the area, specially at low tide that the wide beach reflects the sky in the sand. :0

Conditions are perfect for all levels.
For more experienced surfers, this spot has a right mellow point break and another soft beach break just next to it.
Luckily, the beach is empty of crowds and beginner friendly, with a soft wave breaking over a sandy bottom.
Actually, this spot perform well when the swell is too big at Santa Teresa beach.
