Cuba Libre Restaurant & Bar

Latin restaurant with a good atmosphere, with the best view of Manuel Antonio and excellent food and service.

Reviewed By Christy2262

Beautiful view, great location and delicious food! We started during hour and were pleasantly surprised with 2 for one drinks. The tuna steak was some of the best we had ever eaten and prompted another visit the next night. People in our party had shrimp scampi, ribs, blackened catch of the day and tuna steak. All were exceptional!

Cafe Agua Azul

We came here for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, wanting to go somewhere a little different for our last night in Manuel Antonio.Everything was thoroughly enjoyable! The atmosphere is fun, feels more like a hipster bar than a raucous family restaurant. Our server Warner was super friendly and engaging, and, when he found out it was my parents’ anniversary, he kept bringing us gifts throughout the meal.The first thing you notice after you sit down is the menu. It’s chock full of descriptions and ingredients you won’t see in other restaurants in the area (heart of palm cheese?). All of our plates were delicious; I’d especially recommend the chilled cucumber soup, the Caribe Atómico hamburger, and the tacos de atún.They’ve only been in business for a short time, but I’m hoping they do well by serving up a different experience for visitors to Manuel Antonio. We’ll certainly be back next time we’re in the area.

Reviewed By Cindy E

The staff at the Rico Tico restaurant located within the Si Como No Hotel was top notch. We had the pleasure of getting to know Jorge, Marcela, Oscar and Allen during our stay. They went above and beyond to make sure our family was taken care of. The service provided by them made us feel incredibly comfortable and welcomed. The drinks were delicious, breakfast was excellent every morning and the local monkeys entertained us very morning.Greetings from majestic Costa Rica. We truly appreciate you taking the time to write such detailed reviewThank you for names of the employees that left a good impression on you.

We loved the restaurant and the service was superb. Our server Yendry went above and beyond and the rest of the staff was very attentive as well. We loved the appetizers and entres, but the desserts were just OK. The restaurant ambiance was great and the views were beautiful. We’ll be back for breakfast/brunch next time.Thanks for your review and we look forward to hosting you for breakfast/brunch as soon as you can make it back!

TuleCafe Restaurant

Tule Cafe is the restaurant within the Tulemar Resort. We serve a menu spanning Costa Rica to Dr. Mercola and if you hook it we'll cook it! Let us know if you have any special requests and we'll do our best to accommodate you!

Reviewed By Debbie C

I agree with the rave reviews of the cafe. One thing I will add is that we had breakfast and dinner and enjoyed both. The added bonus was the visit from 4 sloths our first evening! The staff spotted the first ones and told everyone about it. You get views, wildlife, good food and excellent staff. If you’re staying outside Tulemar, I recommend trying to come to the cafe as a top pick in the area. Not sure if you can??
