As important as a good night sleep is a good meal. Ojochal, Uvita, Dominical and their surroundings are known not only for their culinary diversity but, most important, for their dining experiences. Here begins the list of some of our favourites…

We love breakfast time! So, for the most important meal of the day, we are happy to prepare for you from a healthy yoghurt parfait or pancakes to homemade tortillas, huevos rancheros, a selection of hams and cheeses and the traditional gallo pinto. Or even an Indian breakfast with chapatis and raita.
