Check out my Travel Guide for more options. If you find something you loved to do, feel free to share your recommendation with me, I will post it to this site.
RESTAURANTS:
Most local restaurants are delicious. There are a few within walking distance: Reparitos and the Pizzeria are great behind the complex, Sol Y Mar and gelato is across the street, and Las Brisas at the end of the street. La Jama, across from the soccer field is delicious and affordable too.
If you want to drive, Potrero has many more choices as well as Surf Side, Flamingo Beach, Brasilito. Mar Vista and Las Catalinas have restaurants. Tamarindo is only 30-40 minutes away with a many fantastic choices for dining. You could probably spend a month trying all the local restaurants within 30 minutes and still have not tried them all.
