Prices are on the higher end - but views are worth the drive.
WAY up on the hill overlooking the entire bay of Coco. Be sure that you are there well before sunset to enjoy everything this restaurant has to offer. Suggest drinks at the Lookout and food elsewhere. Although the food is ok--the price are very high.

Awesome surfing town! Very commercialized town. Tons of restaurants right on the beach. Beach is totally unique! You can collect a lot of shells on this beach. You can rent chairs OR find a beach front restaurant with loungers. Most places will let you each and drink and use their amenities.

BEACH. Drive to the Four Seasons resort and follow the signs to the parking lot. Once parked the staff will load you into a van to take you via the Four Seasons service roads to the beach. We always go to Nacascolo beach. (there are options). There are bathrooms, showers, and a small wood walk way right to the beach. Clear waters in the bay. BEAUTIFUL. LOVE it here. Pack a lunch and drinks OR head to the end of the beach and pay for food and drink via the Andes resort.

Everything Else
We saw Dentist (Dianna) and it cost $50 for the best cleaning you will ever have. Literally a 5 minute walk from our condo. $50 more for Xrays and $60 each for fillings. Well worth a visit to the Dentist if you have time and do not have benefits at home.
ALSO this location is home to the local Medical center and Doctor. Good location to note.
