    Views of Papagayo bay was amazing, service was terrific with our waiter using Spanglish perfectly to accommodate both Spanish and English speakers in our group (and was super attentive but not over bearing). The food - all of which was recommended by said waiter, was rich and tasty as expected. Portions were big for a typical tapas place, but that's not a complaint. We don't get up to Papagayo often, but this is our new fave when we do.
