This was my third visit to Cantarana. It's beautiful, clean and not expensive. The restaurant was good in the past but this trip it was just out of this world! After eating we didn't know what the bill was because it was charged to the room. We figured it had to be very expensive so the following night we had... more

We found the Hotel Caterana Restaurant just up the road from where we stayed and we ate there 5 nights. Being off season we had the place to ourselves and the food, service and atmosphere were... more

Remarkable! The hotel and restaurant are unique. My wife and I had dinner there June 5, 2009. The food, service and restaurant were outstanding. I travel extensively and usually do not get excited about a restaurant. But this gem is an exception. I never would have thought that at the end of one of Costa Rica’s finest bumpy roads stands... more

My cousin and I stayed here for 5 nights including over New Year's Eve. Primary reason to visit Playa Grande was to surf. This hotel was higher end than we planned but as it was high season, the cheaper places were booked. We were not disappointed, with the quality and location for $110/night. Ten years ago when I first came... more
