Café de Playa Beach Front Hotel

Hotel

The most beautiful place to enjoy the sunset. The best service and food… super.

Great service, great service.

Expensive and poor service.

$20USD for 4 shrimp…. $5 per shrimp?! That’s just a complete money grab and utterly ridiculous. Would never recommend. (PS Read this business’ replies on mine and others’ honest reviews so that you can get a real taste of what kind of business you don’t need to support).

Beautiful place to sit to watch the sunset. They no longer have tapas menu. Disappointing 😢

Food was fabulous! Loved the ribeye — seasoned beautifully. Terrific food throughout and fantastic pina coladas!

Nice place right on the beach. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

My favorite place, excellent attention and good atmosphere.

Horrible hotel service. They left us for hour and a half under the rain without possibility of entering the property. Not even pick up the phone.

Mauricio is a very good waiter!

The scenery is beautiful, the atmosphere is low key & kick back, the wait staff is on point, the food is wonderful. A great way to wind down your day… pura vida!

Everything was so delicious and the employees were extremely curtious. Loved it! Definitely recommend.

Very good service, great location and spectacular view!

100% recommended! Extremely friendly staff, delicious food and served with too much taste and proper health protocols. They make you feel at home, always watching for one and anything you need. In addition the beach was very empty which makes it perfect for these times and all people respected the social bubbles and kept the distance.

Perfect restaurant, perfect staff, great food.

Excellent attention, and delicious food.

A great place
With an exquisite meal
With top quality service.

Great food, amazing atmosphere and service! The music and sound of the ocean is super relaxing!
Love this place!

Im talking about the beach restaurant. Nice location. Decent international food. It's getting old. It begs a renovation. Best hours to be there around 4 on to see sunset.

Great relaxing atmosphere! Beautiful scenery, pool was clean and the perfect temperature to cool off. Pinacolada was perfect.

Very good, but very pricy.

Great location but the prices are ridiculous. We had a few drinks and one appetizer which was basically one avocado with 3 pieces of tiny shrimp and our bill was $100. No wonder the place is empty, bring your prices down it's not the four seasons…

Amazing! All of the staff is absolutely wonderful! Room is perfect, location is perfect, I came alone and feel so safe and so well taken care of! Couldn’t be happier! So much love to Cafe de Playa Familia! Mucho mucho gracias!

Amazing place for a good view of the sunset and fresh seafood! This place came highly recommend so we made the drive. Smaller boutique hotel as part of a larger nearby beach club. Dinner area is adjacent to Coco beach. Dinner is more expensive than most restaurants but in line with what you get and worth the price, we paid $65 for lobster, steak, and shrimp. We had a great waiter and meal while enjoying a romantic sunset with a nice breeze.

Beautiful space to enjoy a view to the silver in family, couple or alone.

The best restaurant in Coco Beach, no contest. Our meal was extraordinary, haven’t had better in New York or Paris. The service and management is top notch; relaxed perfection. Highly recommend!

Beautiful beach right in front. Served lunch and dinner. We did happy hour there daily. You can use the restrooms all day when you stay on the beach.

Most tranquill restaurant on Playa Coco… literally right on the beach with hammocks and jamaciian music covers. There is not much for food options — but the drinks are good the view is the best part.

Perfect place to eat and sleep in all of Guanacaste, the food superior the ambience natural, clean, and fresh everything runs smoothly, fast and professionally. I recommend this place to everyone, get the word out there and come!

Great location. Good food. Awesome service.

We are photographers and we were at a wedding, the grooms paid for our dinner and the Idiot owner (Colombian) did not want to let us go to the dinner buffet. Incredible.

A little overpriced. We were super hungry and asked them if they have real food. They told us that they do and gave us a menu. We ordered some quesadillas. They tasted good, but they were just appetizers. Turned out they have food just for dinner. Paid $16 and left hungry looking for food…

Delicious food and reasonable prices for good quality.

5 star for food — period If you're looking for good food, this should be the only place in the area.

Great location on the beach. Nice to have a drink and watch the sunset. We were there with a large group. There was live music (reggae) and the band was great. Someone ordered the Octopus and it was undercooked. Had to send it back to be cooked longer. Food is average. Services was slow. Also, double check your bill. They had trouble keeping everyone separate. Overall, great venue. Just need to improve service and quality of food.

Good food but rather pricey. And drink during happy hour while you can afford it.

The view at sunset was great, the band playing was a mixture of guitar and bongo drums playing some classic rock which matched the setting. However the service was lacking, between waiting at the bar for 15 min or at your table for 30 min I could have walked to the store across the street and got beer faster. Plus we ordered a watermelon drink for the kids and it never came. This was a live music and happy hour special and they still charged is more than the advertisement, after asking our server about it they didn't even know what was going on. We might go again. Definitely not the best place on the beach to eat.

Very nice restaurant with frontside view to the beach. Ask the waitress for mosquito repellent if you feel them biting. Food is great, octopus was well made and coconut shrimp were amazing.

It's a good place to go eat and enjoy the view.

Great place to eat and watch the sunset! The food is excellent.

Over priced and the staff were not on the ball at all got our food no cutlery so went and asked for it and serviette but got one, then the worked the bill and change out wrong, it's a shame because the location is great.

Over-priced. $8 beer. Lack of integrity. Refuses credits toward unavailable services, and does not take the initiative to rectify their broken condition. Don't contribute to or support this business; the owner/manager is driven by greed and found seriously wanting of even the tiniest sense of responsibility.

Hard to tell where the entrance was for the restaurant. But once we found it, it was very delicious. Was quite spendy but was at a beautiful location and great service. I asked the price of my meal and they told me an opposite price and never told me the right price. So I was charged more than what was originally said. There was no prices on the menu for daily catch of fish.

This beautiful restaurant on the beach has the best atmosphere, watching the sunset with good friends was awesome, and the food. Mere words cannot describe this fresh cuisine. The presentation was so beautiful you didn't want to disturb the work of art put together by the chef. Absolutely a must when in Costa Rica.
Everyone is attentive and the service is out of this world! Marco and AnDrey were true gentleman making our visit to Costa Rica memorable, Thank you for the wonderful dinner all of you!

Food & service was perfect. Federico & Johnny D offered a great dinning environment. Highly recommend.

Excellent address, the frame is perfect (across from the beach), very good food, decent prices to try if you're in the area.

Excellent food at the foot of the beach. Good facilities including swimming pool and changing rooms. Highly recommended.

Hidden Gem. Incredible setting and a great place to relax on the beach! Good for breakfast in the morning or cocktails at sunset.
