Our restaurant’s enticing ambiance was crafted under Zaugg’s masterful hands and artistic eye. Local hardwoods, candlelight, and warm earthy Adobe will embrace you while the epically stunning view stretching into the distance from the sparkling infinity pool will seduce.
Everything we do at Vista de Olas is about capturing the essence of Costa Rica’s abundance. Our vegetables, herbs, and fruit are grown on our organic farm; our poultry, pork, and eggs are sourced from local ranchers; and we catch our own fish daily in the warm Pacific waters off the Nicoya Peninsula.
