If you are at Playa Guiones and miss beachside places to eat and drink, this is your alternative. A short walk through the jungle gets you to Playa Pelada and La Luna. There is all sorts of informal seating on a generous patio area for drinks with friends, and the restaurant has outside dining with a wonderfully eclectic menu. Watching... More

I ate here three years ago and again Jan 2012. You can't NOT go here. It's right on the ocean, in the perfect spot and frankly no matter how much they charge...let's face it, the view is worth it. That said, expect NYC prices (aka major metropolitan prices) for drinks and food. The pasta was excellent as was the fish... More

La Luna would be worth visiting simply for the experience. It is unique and a must-do for anyone who appreciates a meal as an event. We found both the food and service (thanks again, Carlos!) very good, and the location/atmosphere over-the-top. Our 5:30 reservation (recommended) put us at an outside table with plenty of time for an unbelievable sunset, cocktails... More

La Luna is a nice place to go to have drinks and food in a casually elegant setting. The food was all delicious. The dessert incredible. It's a little pricier then other "local" restaurants but well worth the splurge for the beautiful surroundings, especially considering the food was spot on. More

We went here on our last night in Nosara because it was highly recommended for the sunsets. I will admit, the sunset was gorgeous! The food was pretty average, nothing special. I found the salad pretty boring actually and the seafood pizza was just meh, which they claim is the best thing on their menu. There are seats in the... More
