WE had fun at the local spot. It was my birthday and some local friends took us out for an experience. We parked at the bottom of a hill and a nice staff member took us on a Golf Cart to the top of the hill and the restaurant. We found some couches near the bar and settled in. The... More

My girlfriend and I just completed a week long trip to Costa Rica. For three days we stayed at the beautiful Gaia hotel in Manuel Antonio. One of the highlights of our trip was the food and service we received at La Luna. I believe our bartender's name was Diego. That guy can make an AMAZING jalapeno margarita. He was... More

La Luna Restaurant at the Gaia Hotel was excellent. The menu had many options and the desserts were awesome! Try Gaia's Secret Sin (pineapple raviolis) and the churos! The hotel was even kind enough to offer their free shuttle to take us back to the resort we were staying at. Check out the menu (http://www.gaiahr.com/archivos/GuestDining2013New.pdf)
