We had a fantastic dinner here! I ordered the Peruvian chaufa with steak and seafood—it was delicious and a generous portion, so come hungry. I highly recommend it! The staff was also incredibly accommodating; when we mentioned my friend is vegan, the chef prepared a special meal just for him, and he loved it. The glowing lights around the restaurant create a wonderful atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a memorable night!

We got Iced mocha lattes, and traditional breakfast, and a avocado on plantain toast. The food was delicious! And the coffee was also very good. The highlight for me was the eggs, they were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend as it was a great way to start the day!

Go for the black sand beach if for no other reason. It is absolutely incredible. It glistens as if there are micro diamonds and minerals in it. I swear you can feel the energy enter your body from the sand through your feet. I loved fresh fruit, the healthy green drinks and walking the center of town on a random night during New Year’s Eve.

This is the beach you should plan to spend most of your time at! The beach is full of people and activities, you can easily find surf lessons, and food can be hard by just walking from the beach! Locals will be wondering through with all kinds of homemade goodies and gifts. Locals definitely prefer to spend their day here, and you can expect to see beach games, surfers, and even fire twirlers at night! This place was our highlight for fun in the sun! The sand bar makes it easy for swimming without going out deep, be weary of the surf as the waves can be rather big and crash on the beach. You will truly enjoy your experience here!

What should I say this time ?! I am writing this review just because I know how important it is these days. The people in CostaRica relay on it then the business is hard. For some of them it is just a “hobby” then they have just to much and don”t really care. For others it is a different between keep going or leave it. So, I am writing every time I was in Martina’s SoulSurfer. At first let’s have a look on the place… There is always pro and cons If you prefer to have a delicious dinner in a lovely and almost quite setting, then you are on the right place. In minutes walking distance to Puerto Viejo’s main square.Don’t get me wrong, it is just my preference. I can”t enjoy this kind of food next to a loud and crowdy place. About the food… I am visiting every time Martina’s place and have never been disappointed. It starts with something for eyes… did you ever asked yourself why the burgers in a fast food restaurants looks quite different to those pictures on the walls? In Soul Surfer you don’t need as the burgers are better than the pictures. There is always room for improvement as we all are individuals. Some are preferring to get the fries separately in a busker or so. Other like blue plates … for my eyes it was very very good. The burger was medium, juicy and with flavor of blue cheese as ordered. Fries with the magic spice sauce ( shame Martina doesn’t want to share the receipe ). Service… All of the team are very nice. I was too busy with the food to keep eye in so excuse me but I can’t really review this time. Based on previous visits there were always mega good.

Was by far the best bar during my visit to Puerto Viejo! Showed the sport on the weekend and Karaoke was fun on Tuesday! Food was also excellent - try the wings!! But most of all the staff were fantastic and make the place! Highly recommended!

We came here for dinner I was looking for something that provided gluten-free options. They can make any of their pasta dishes gluten free, by using gluten-free spaghetti. I ordered the tomato and basil spaghetti with a side apple chicken salad which was amazing. The drinks are also really good. We love having dinner on the beach at sunset it was beautiful.

Accidentally we ended up at this restaurant, as we were looking for restaurant Terramar. This place is wonderfully decorated, causing us a little bit to wonder whether it would not be too expensive. However, we met the owner, who was very nice, and invited us to have a look at the menu. We felt very welcome and had a very nice evening here, with even some soup and bread on the house. If you are looking for Italian food, this is a good place to go.
