Why Travelers Love Terraza By
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Excellent food and service! Been traveling through Costa Rica for 3 weeks. From La Fortuna through Tamarindo and here at Manuel Antonio. Best dinner I had. Check out the pictures. It tasted superb! I had the chicken Parmesan and loved it. All ten of us loved our dish. We plan on going back tomorrow to try a different dish. 5 Stars – A Lunch Worth Ceviche-brating! After hiking around Manuel Antonio like jungle VIPs, we landed here — and wow, what a way to wrap up the day! The view was so stunning it nearly upstaged the food… nearly. The guava margarita? Like a tropical vacation in a glass. The ceviche trio (octopus, fish, and shrimp) was so fresh it might’ve swum onto the plate itself. Main courses? Absolutely next-level — flavor explosions in every bite. And Harley, our waiter, was the cherry on top: fun, fast, and full of good vibes. 10/10 would hike just to eat here again! #puravida Amazing Dinner with a Stunning View – Highly Recommend! We had dinner at Terraza on our last night in Manuel Antonio, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome—our waiters were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was just incredible, every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. And the view? Simply breathtaking! Watching the sunset from the terrace made the whole experience even more special. We only wish we had discovered this place earlier so we could have gone more than once. It’s also a hotel, and from what we saw, it looks like a fantastic place to stay. One thing to note: they only accept tips in cash, and we only had a credit card with us, so we couldn’t tip as we would have liked. If you’re in Manuel Antonio, Terraza is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience!

The view alone makes this place a 5/5, must stop. We stopped for lunch while road tripping, and the view is breathtaking. Additionally, service was wonderful. Our server was very friendly and spoke Spanish and English. The food was delicious- highly recommend the carpaccio del mar (freshly caught that day prepared simply with olive oil and lime juice, perfect). We also ordered the octopus and ragú, both very good. Highly recommend for a truly lovely lunch.

Incredible anniversary dinner. The staff went all out and even blew balloons and decorated the table for us to celebrate. Food was 11/10 delicious. Highly recommend!
