Stopped in for lunch and it took over 2 hours for no good reason. The food was okay, but not great. The views were incredible.

We stayed two nights at LInda Vista with another couple who had the honeymoon cottage. The view here is undeniably stunning. Our balcony view was filled with the volcano and the lake beyond. The staff were accomodating and helpful. HOWEVER, when our friends complained about the construction noise and the loud tv audio coming from the restaurant, the manager explained... More

My wife and I stayed at Arenal Observatory Lodge, but found the dinners and lunches to be not very good and overpriced. We had a 4WD vehicle, and drove over the very bumpy roads to El Castillo to try this restaurant. The drive up from the gravel road is on a narrow, steep, paved road which is covered by trees... More

And we were so glad we did. The Costa Rican steak was fantastic - so much... More

My group spent 3 days and 3 nights at Hotel Linda Vista and we had a great experience for dinner each night. The prices for a steak dinner was $20-$25. The service is a tad bit slow by American standards, but still good. The drinks were excellent. You would be hard pressed to find a better restaurant for a romantic... More
