Good vibes and amazing food. Yael and Roee are super cool and have crafted the perfect setting for an exotic brunch experience. The Shakshuka and French-toast are two of my favorites and the “sexy smoothies” are amazing. Best brunch around!

Playa del Ostional is the scenery for a rarely-seen biological wonder. In rainy season, the week before new moon, hundreds – and sometimes hundreds of thousand sea turtles come to one specific mile of beach at Ostional to dig their eggs into the black, volcanic sand.
Please note that this is a protected beach and you should have a local guide escort you to see the turtles.

實用短句
Pura Vida!
“Pura Vida” means “pure life” in Spanish, a Costa Rican philosophy that encourages the appreciation of life's simple treasures. Slowing things down, celebrating life's natural and pure beauty. The phrase is commonly used to greet someone or to say goodbye in Costa Rica (similar to the Hawaiian use of "Aloha").
