We enjoyed this restaurant on the last night of our stay. The octopus ceviche is absolutely wonderful and our daughter really enjoyed the potato wedges. My husband got the fish of the day which was mahi mahi (so tasty!) and I LOVED the smoked trout salad. We had a great three person table overlooking the pool and ocean

We enjoyed Rio Bhongo for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on separate days. The food was freshly prepared and delicious for all our meals. However, one of the BEST parts of our dining experience was the warm and attentive service we received from Jostin. He made our visits a true delight!

Amazing ceviche! Must have. We also had the catch of the day which was pan fried mahi mahi and it was sooooo good. The only thing we wished was that they served a bit more of it. There was only 3 pieces or so of it. Beautiful views like you always get here.

There was a moth attack during dinner. Thousands of moths hatched and swarmed te dinner tables, kitchen, etc. The moths got in all food, drinks, on clothes, in hair, everywhere. We had to pack up what we had a take the food to go. Everything was still full price. Welcome to Costa Rica.

This is a super kid friendly, centrally located restaurant. We had delicious cocktails, the smoked trout salad and tacos were really tasty. Our whole team of servers and main server Jorge were incredibly friendly, attentive and professional. We really enjoyed the live music and spontaneous kids dance party too!! I wish we had another night here at the resort as we’d love to eat another dinner here.
