Food Scene

Tiki Hut is an excellent option near to the house to try good food and cocktails, just in front of Marbella Beach. I recommend the Ceviche and the Entire Fried Red Snapper which are typical dishes. However you can chose many other options from the menu. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It opens from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. There is also a menu for kids.

Parks & Nature

One of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica but little visited. Its formation allows you to enjoy a sandy pass where there is a beach on both sides, with calm waters on the left and playful waves on the right. On the rocks at the end of the sandy path you can walk and enjoy incredible ocean views. Do not forget your camera. If you like scenic photos, this is a special place. The beach is recommended for children, and it is also a fishing village where you can get fresh fish at very good prices. It is possible to go snorkeling if you bring the accessories.
