Description: The “tropics” has its own style of enjoying food and refreshments outdoors. Lighter Meals and casual snacks (bocas) while relaxing in the delicious tropical environment seems to be a basic part of the lifestyle here.“Hotel La Finisterra’s” open air restaurant and viewpoint patios have all the ingredients to make this pastime not only possible but something you will remember. We do with panache! There is no other nearby restaurant with the panoramic, ocean and beach views that compares with the incredible views from “Hotel La Finisterra” the perfect place to take in a tropical sunset in paradise.This year “La Finisterra” presents two new menus and a new direction in our cuisine and restaurant style. Our new focus is a more informal “Tapas” style approach with smaller dishes and a selection of lighter lower cost menu items. Our cuisine is individually prepared using the freshest local ingredients by our professional chef and kitchen staff. Guest services are available in any of our dining area locations.

Incredible view of Playa Hermosa, lights of the beach, full moon. And great menu, short but adequate - local beef, camerones, great salad. Will be back.

My wife and I went there for a romantic dinner alone. We had been vacationing in Hermosa for two weeks being party animals and social conveners . It was nice to relax ( especially after the walk up the hill) and discuss our next adventure. The food was good, atmosphere very romantic and the live music was was a bonus.... More

Although we have spent a lot of time in Playa Hermosa, we had not ever visited the restaurant at La Finisterra - what a lovely surprise! The open air breezes on a warm night with a view of twinkling lights from across Playa Hermosa bay set a romantic tone, along with the elegant arched window openings and the warm orange... More

This is a very good restaurant in a beautiful setting. I would recommend you go for a sundown drink and stay for supper. It's equally lovely in the daytime or nightime. The service is excellent as is the food quality. We started with a calamari appetizer and went on to enjoy chicken curry, lomito and seared yellow fin tuna. I... More

Wow what can you say except pure excellence. The food was the best so we went there 3 times. The view is gorgeous so go for breakfast then see it at dinner also. They greet you like a friend with exceptional service and warm smiles.

We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday at this restaurant and were blown away by the amazing view, service, food, and atmosphere! We made reservations upon a recommendation of a local that it was the BEST restaurant in Playa Hermosa where our hotel was located. Upon arriving, we were treated like royalty, knowing we were celebrating a birthday. The staff took... More

We chatted with the owner and she was friendly and nice. We had great service (it surprises me that others have not....). It was my son's birthday, so the... More

Loved the breakfasts...especially the local one. Prices are very reasonable. Owner is friendly and knowledgable. But the view across Playa Hermosa is simply breathtaking.

How can one not enjoy a great meal while overlooking the Pacific in this intimate setting? On the third night the chef was summonsed from the kitchen and given a standing round of applause. Need I say more?

There is not much to say other than if you're in the area, this is a "must see". The food is incredible, the service was 5-star but with a casual feel and the view, breathtaking.
