Gabriel was the star of our dinner. The dining experience was made top-notch by his knowledge and table-side interaction. Eclectic food menu due to their Latin American base. A must visit if in Papagayo, Costa Rica.

All the restaurants at this resorts has been an A+ for us but Chao Pescao was a little bit more pleasing. Being able to sample foods from different Caribbean and Latin cuisine in one dining experience was just the chefs kiss. All the plates were a great portion and just so flavorful. My favorites were the Jamaican jerk chicken, Costa Rican rice and beans with chicken, the fried yuca from Cuba…ate a lot more but those dishes were the most memorable. The ambiance was definitely of a Latin vibe with salsa music in the background. Staff was ahh-mazing and personable. You will not be disappointed.
