Restaurants

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.

Yum Gelato, and right across from our Condo complex!  Super delicious, lots of flavors to choose from.  Perfect after a hot day of hanging at the beach. 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!

Me Gusta Pizza is right behind Casa Del Sol.   The owners are relatively new, from January 2025.  They kept the same taste and menu as the last owners. This pizza is delicious, like they make in Italian style; thin, foldable, with a thick crust.  We tried just sausage pizza.  I must admit their sausage is unique, we really liked it.  We also had a caprese salad, it was okay,  the tomatoes were not quite ripe.  Pizza cost about 7000 colones (about $14), salad about $12.   A glass a wine is about $7. The Friday night we went they had a real good singer/song writer play.  He had a bit of a following.

Coco Loco is a restaurant on Flamingo beach.  It is a bit pricey, but pretty good.  Be sure to get the coconut drink, yum.

Craving Italian food, try Forketta.  It does not open until 5pm.  I like to get the lasagna.  It is usually crowded at night.  It is close driving distance to the condo, maybe 1.5 miles.

They have delicious Happy Hour drinks here, buy one, get one free.  About 2 miles from our condo, by Hemingways.  I got the mango one, well 2, you get 2 for one.

Right down the street from our Condo unit. Great place to sit and sip a Margarita, have a delicious freshly caught fish dinner and enjoy the breeze and sunset.
