You and your crew will be visiting Playa Guiones in Nosara, Costa Rica. You’ve found the ideal vacation rental. Now comes the real challenge: keeping everyone happy, especially when it comes to dinner.
Leave Room to Explore
Here’s an insider tip: Don’t overplan everything before you arrive.
Get to know Guiones Beach and Nosara first. Restaurants change, moods shift, and there’s always something new to discover. The best experiences often happen when you leave a little room for spontaneity.
The Restaurant Everyone Will Agree On
Anyone traveling with a group of 6 to 16 knows the struggle: getting everybody to agree on where to eat after a long beach day feels impossible.
That’s where El Manglar comes in.
Located in a quiet, private setting just minutes from most Guiones vacation rentals, we’ve become the spot families and friend groups consistently rave about. Safe off-street compimentary parking? Check. Space for all? Done. An atmosphere that works for both kids and adults? Absolutely.
Safe parking. Zero stress. Unforgettable dinners.
Where Your Beach Day Becomes Your Best Night
After a full day of surfing, exploring, and playing, you deserve more than just another meal; you deserve an experience.
Every evening from 4:30-5:30 PM, we offer a happy hour with handcrafted cocktails and mocktails made from fresh ingredients. Our mocktails and smoothies are a hit with kids who want to feel part of the fun.
As the sun sets, the pool and restaurant grounds come alive with soft lighting that transforms the space into something magical, relaxed, and special.
Breakfast Brought You Here. Dinner Will Bring You Back.
If you’ve already discovered El Manglar for breakfast (and let’s be honest, we’re kind of famous for it), you know what to expect: incredible food, warm service, and that perfect Pura Vida vibe.
But here’s what you might not know: Dinner at El Manglar is equally amazing, with the same quality and service, but an entirely different ambience.
