Best Authentic Restaurants in Marina Papagayo

The meal, service and ambience was actually wonderful. The only downside was we asked for after dinner drink menus and the waiter upsold an overpriced shot of rum and we were under the impression it was a cocktail of some kind….it kind of put a negative on what was a really great night.

We enjoyed this restaurant on the last night of our stay. The octopus ceviche is absolutely wonderful and our daughter really enjoyed the potato wedges. My husband got the fish of the day which was mahi mahi (so tasty!) and I LOVED the smoked trout salad. We had a great three person table overlooking the pool and ocean

Food was FABULOUS. I had the Mahi Mahi. Huge piece cooked perfectly so were the Al dente vegetables. The volcano cake desert was super to. Big piece and 3 scoops of ice cream! We have typically seen very small portions in higher-end restaurants in our 2 years living here. The wait person was THE BEST. We will continue to go to Sugoi’s.

Great experience on property at El Mangroove. A variety of menu options including unique starters, entrees, desserts and cocktails. Can do either seafood or red meat or vegan if desired. We had the oysters, which were fresh and lovely plus a sashimi dish then ahi tuna and short rib dish. Nothing disappointed. Our service was timely and attestation. The chocolate souffle w French press coffee was the best way to cap it off.
