Ostra Restaurant

Reviewed By MatthewH791

This was the last dinner we had while in Costa Rica and it was easily the best. Everything is amazing. The food, service and location. This was perfect. The ceviche was amazing (we even ordered another serving as our dessert). The prices are very reasonable as wellHighly recommend!

Condovac La Costa

Reviewed By DanW440

We enjoyed our stay very much- the views are great, the setting exceptional, and the shuttle service every few minutes was great! The beds are comfy and the maid service every day was also nice. The food is so-so although we had nice pizza and snacks at the bar on Super Bowl night, the buffet breakfast was very bland. My main complaint would be that the units needed a deep cleaning. The filthy grime all along the length of floor at the kitchen cabinet was just awful. Also on the cupboard doors where hands are used to open them. This was bad enough to warrant an average instead of very good.

Reviewed By Birdguy

Our family of six had a fun time finding this place, and were glad we did. It's a great place to relax by the beach, have some tropical drinks and good food. We stayed around to watch the sun set on a huge rock between two islands off shore. The team of servers was very attentive. Our only complaint would be the constant battle to keep pesky flies off of our drinks and food.Hello Birdguy: Thank you for your review and for your business! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. I have watched many sunsets between the mountain and island in front of Father Rooster. It is quite a display. Glad you enjoyed the food and drinks. I wish that we had a better solution for the flies. They come on occasion and cover the entire region--generally when the winds are pushing out from the farmland over the ocean. It is pretty tough to keep them at bay. In any case, thanks again for your business and please come back again soon!

Stopped in and eat outside late afternoon early evening and enjoyed the resorts lovely beach scene. Pool is to the side and does not distract from the view. Ate simple fish tacos and had a beer. Nice way to close down another day in paradise.

We went for the pork chop breakfast (on the recommendation of a long time expat) and were not disappointed. The food was great and plentiful. The owner served us himself and was so kind and helpful. Would definitely return!

Chao Pescao really impressed on a recent visit! All three primary facets of a great dining experience- food, drinks and service- all really shone.On our first visit we chose our selections and were very happy, on our subsequent visits we took some recommendations from our server and were equally pleased.Chao Pescao is easily the most consistent choice on site at the Andaz.

Nice place on the beach. Portion sizes are huge. I tried the lobster & filet (which was excellent). The mixed tropical drinks are just average. Prices and menu are typical for the area.
