Really like the lunch menu options and flavors of everything we had. Burger, shrimp tacos, tuna tacos, pizza (a little too cheesy), different salads, We sat in the restaurant rather than poolside. Service was great. Note the dinner menu is different from lunch….we didn’t like it nearly as much as the lunch menu.

Location and ambience are gorgeous. Food is below average making it not at all worth the cost.

The rib eye steak is terrific, the vegetables forgettable, the first courses interesting (excellent spinach salad), the staff eager to help but still learning, and the atmosphere excellent. This is definitely the most elegant dining choice in Coco/Playa Hermosa/Playa Panama, at least until Abbocato reopens.

la calidad de la comida vrs costo es completamente desproporcionado! Pagamos por ejemplo por un ceviche mixto más de 20 mil colones.... precios muy elevados para lo que se ofrece! No lo recomendaría!
