Tandoor in Surf Side

We love Indian food, this restaurant, Tandoor, is about a 10 minute drive from our condo in Surf Side.  We always try to come here whenever we are in town. I just love their Butter chicken, their paypaya, mango salad, garlic naan bread and the free sauces they give you.  Everything is so delicious and fresh tasting.  Nothing is over spicy, unless you ask for it to be.  Happy hour is noon-5pm.  There is a pool you can swim in.  I like the ambiance of that restaurant.  It has changed hands a few times.  Unfortunately there is no beach view, but you will not get wet in the rain. They have a really extensive menu that you can check out at their website.  Also, they have 3 locations in Costa Rica. Tandoor Website

Beach House

A must do on our trips to Potrero is the Beach house.  We like to go for happy hour and stay for the sunset. They have delicious grilled fish there. This restaurant is in Surf Side about 2 miles from our condo. The view is beautiful over looking the Flamingo Marina.   The Beach House Website . Formerly a private residence, The Beach House has been transformed into a quaint restaurant and bar, renown for its fresh Seafood and equally excellent American fare. Located directly on Playa Potrero, The Beach House offers awesome daytime and nighttime views of the Pacific Ocean, interrupted only by some of the most spectacular sunsets the area has to offer. Open daily 11:00 am – 9:00 pm.

Castle De Lilo
Activities, Restaurants

Castillo de Lilo

My husband and I visited this Castle for my husband’s 60th Birthday in March. We arrived in evening around 4:30pm.  Upon arrival you get a glass of champagne and you hang out for a bit to view the beautiful region of Guanacaste. They take you for a tour of the Castle then to an area on the 3rd floor where you are free to watch the sunset.  In Costa Rica the sun sets about 6pm every night.   Another drink is included per person and an appetizer. After the sunset you here all about the Castle, why it is there, who built it.  Such in interesting story.  It reminds me of the Taj Mahal. Every dinner group get a separate area to dine.  And you get to choose what you want ahead of time.  I choose the filet mignon,  it was cooked to perfection. My husband choose a curry Mahi Mahi.  They also include more appetizers and a dessert.   The meal was just perfection. This tour is pricey, $150 a person, but the food is seriously delicious.   The story is interesting.  To me it is a restaurant/tour.  It takes about 4 hours for the whole experience.  For a special event, I highly recommend this.   Castillo de Lilo Website – Book a Tour

Gracia at Mar Vista
Restaurants

Gracia at Mar Vista

Gracia at Mar Vista is one of our favorite restaurants in the Flamingo area. Not only is the food delicious, but it boasts one of the most beautiful sunset views. From our condo drive South on 911 to 180, it is about 4 miles away, just a little past Flamingo. Bring your bathing suit and towel, relax at their infinity pool after lunch or before dinner, or just hang out and enjoy a drink at their swim up bar. You will need to make dinner reservations, they start at 5pm. Make a reservation on WhatsApp – 506-6110-1687, or through their website – RESERVE FOR GRACIA. Gracia is open Monday – Sunday from 12:00pm until their last seating at 8:30pm. Our experience from March 2025: We arrived around 4pm, an hour before our dinner reservation at 5pm. We ordered a drink at the pool bar and met some new friends from Canada in the pool. There are plenty of friendly people to talk to from Costa Rica or traveling to the area from all over the World. For dinner, I had the Steak Diane, my husband had the Seabass, both entree items we highly recommend. Our dinner friends had the steak as well, and the tuna plate. Another dinner couple enjoyed small plate tapas. Finishing our dining experience we enjoyed a key lime pie and our friends had a pecan pie, their favorite.

We always like to get our Gelato at night on our way to watch the sunset.  I am currently working my way through all the flavors.  I have not decided on my favorite flavor, they are all so good!
