We visited La Hacienda several times during our trip which occurred during the rainy season. Even when all other bars and restaurants in the area were empty, La Hacienda always had people in it eating dinner or getting drinks. The live music was not bad, but obviously the quality of the music will depend on when you are there and... More

Food was super over-priced and all over the place. The atmosphere is less breathtaking than other restaurants in the area that have similar prices. They had a band playing while we were there and it was a very fun place to hang out over a couple of drinks. More

We came here on the last night of our honeymoon. We were in Costa for 10 nights and every day/night we had amazingly delicious food. On the last night, I had pretty high expectations. We came to La Hacienda and I HATED my food. We got calamari to start and it was gross then I got lobster and my husband... More

Dan hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner for 20 people on a Friday night in April. He provided a great menu with appetizers, entrees and dessert for our guests. Everyone was happy with the service and the food was great. The live music and being right next to the jungle made the atmosphere perfect for us. We looked at several restaurants... More

Great food and atmosphere. My wife had the beef tenderloin with rosemary potatos (very good) and I had the pan fried trout (excellent). Very reasonably priced drinks ($3 marg) and live music, Cory Butler on guitar - he was really good and seemed like a nice guy. We were too full to have desert, but they looked really good. Overall,... More

We were staying at Plaza Yara and decided to have a take-away pizza one evening in our room. I wish we hadn't as this was by far our worst meal in Costa Rica. I'm not sure whether we ordered our food before the ovens had been switched on for the evening but the pizza bases were doughy and barely cooked... More
