About the restaurant

Puntarena, located in Bani, is a hidden paradise where nature surrounds you with dreamy sunsets, desert hills and the charm of flamingos dancing on the coast.

This unique destination preserves the natural wealth of the environment, protecting its beaches, dunes and mountains; and maintaining the balance between growth and conservation. It is home to amazing biodiversity, from the elusive rhinoceros iguana to a variety of marine life in its mangroves.

It has different amenities, among which it is worth highlighting its Club House with infinity pool, restaurant, ecological trails, the most charming and picturesque sunsets, in front of the white sand beaches that delimit the coast.

In addition, it is a privileged area for wind sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing. Its surroundings also lend themselves to adventure activities such as mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding or migratory bird watching.

All the staff was good, there's a controlled entrance, great food out waitress Nayeli did a great job keeping us served at all times. It could be better if you could be specific about the areas available to be reserved, there's are table and chair options but there are also chaise lounges and pergolas but it doesn't seem up to the visitor to decide what they want.

Service was a highlight. Throughout the meal we had what we needed when we needed it. Appetizers, drinks, mains and desserts were all very good. Quiet space more upscale than many but not stuffy. A pleasant place for a date, family, or business meal.
