Best View on the Coast and Good Food, Too

Best View on the Coast and Good Food, Too

After a drive on the worst 3 km of road we experienced in Costa Rica, we were richly rewarded with the views of Playa Pan de Azucar ("Sugar Beach"). The Sugar Beach Hotel is the only place on this beach, and it sits on a hilltop overlooking the gorgeous curving beach.

Without knowing exactly what was there, we had decided to go visit the beach in the middle of the day, and when we got there, we found the hotel pretty much had the prime location. Since it was lunchtime, we decided to try the hotel restaurant. The food was very good, not too expensive (several lunch main dishes in the US $7-8 range).

But the real reason to come is the atmosphere and view. The restaurant is open air, overlooking the ocean with large colorful arrangements of tropical flowers decorating the tables. You get to look for the occasional iguana lurking around or sunning on the roof.

We didn't look at the hotel rooms at all, but it seemed like a very nice place to stay if you want to be away from the crowds on a beautiful beach.
