Chez Leandra Food and drinks are reasonable and very good

Island Bound

My favorite (and not just because it's clothing optional) is Papagayo - the food really is very good. We also enjoy Chez Leandra, Orange Fever, and Ethnic. Also, La Playa is now open for dinner and has gotten excellent reviews (since Bruno has taken over).[beer]

Orange Fever has great mussels. They are flown in on Thursday. We had lunch there three times during our Christmas trip. The food is excellent.

Andy and Cheryl's Baywatch for the quiet breakfasts and great conversations, and loud lunches and great conversations. Haven't yet found its replacement.

I would second Biturbo's comment that Papagayo is a great place for lunch. Great views, nice food and quite reasonable as well. Dinner at Papagayo can be rather hit or miss. But lunches have been pretty consistently good. Also heard good things about La Playa as well. For dinner, some really great places in Orient Village, which is a short walk or drive (but better to drive at night).

Gotta put a plug in for the Sun Beach Clubber. Their ceviche for two is an excellent light lunch choice. I'll also second La Playa now that it's managed by Thomas and Marcella from L'Astrolabe. Hardly a bad choice up and down the beach.

When did Thomas take over LaPlaya? Amean had it a couple of years ago?

Thomas and Bruno (formerly Le Cottage and now Dreams) took over in October. They have been investing in upgrades and much improved menu. Amin is not involved.

Good for Thomas. We will be there #128077;#128077;
