Compared to other places we ate this was not our favorite. The staff was very friendly and the service was good but just not our favorite meal.

Hola! We're glad to hear you enjoyed our service and that our staff was friendly! We work hard to let our guests know we're truly glad you're dining with us. We're sorry to hear the rest of your experience wasn't equally as enjoyable, and hope it might have had something to do with us being a Continental-style restaurant, instead of...

So here's the thing. There are several really charming and super good places to eat in Nosara. My problem with MB,s is the atmosphere. It feels like a Greek diner/bar and it doesn't fit the overall feel of the beachy town it's in. The server I had was also nice enough, but I felt like I was in the US....

Hola! You are completely correct in the fact that Marlin Bill's is not a Tico-style restaurant with a local vibe. We're sorry you were looking for that type of atmosphere when you dined with us, but we're glad you found our food tasty! We strive hard to give our guests high quality, and delicious, dining choices, and are pleased to...

Great place for lunch, dinner, or drinks. The location is the best in Nosara. It is on the third level of the building that sits on a hill looking out to the Ocean. It's above the street level so no dust and you get a nice breeze . You can even watch the sunset. Our group ate here 4 or...

Our hotel concierge recommended this local place that wasn't too far from our hotel. He was spot on. It had a bunch of expats (which to us was nice) and their kids chilling out. The food was good. They have "sushi" on the menu but is actually delicious, fresh hamachi-style tuna with pepper. The fried food was a little too...

We've be staying in Nosara for 3 months, we've been out to most of the restaurants near by but we keep on coming back to Marlin Bill's. The staff are very friendly and attentive... Great service! By boyfriend drinks like a fish and he constantly has his draft beer replenished. Food is really tasty and generous portions. It's not cheap...

Picked us up and returned us to our hotel when we rented our golf cart. Even when we broke down they came right out and replaced it. Very nice

Good food nice deck, I went there to get take out, did not dine in and the food was good wholesome food and it happened to be during a nigh time thunderstorm and the view was amazing. Well worth a try. Up on a hill over looking Playa Guiones right on the main drag. easy parking and easy to get...

The next time you're in Guiones, we hope you'll join...

This place was ok, we came for dinner but thought they were overpriced compared to the fantastic meal we had the night before at Kaya Sol so we just had appetizers and left. I imagine they charge a premium because they are in the guide book. The appetizers were good so I can't really complain. The service was a bit...

Been to Playa Guilones twice- Marlin Bills at least ten times. No better view of sunset save for the beach itself. Great burgers, excellent fish (they only serve freshly caught), and the wait staff is both on point and friendly. Went three times this last trip- had 3 different servers, 3 different meals, and left each time completely satisfied. Ill...

Had a lovely meal but service was very rushed. Had to chase down server a few times. Wine is reasonably priced and the view is gorgeous.
