01 · In a sentence

Sunset Lounge Tamarindo in 50309, open JanuaryApril.

Sunset Lounge Tamarindo commands sweeping views of the Pacific from its elevated perch along Tamarindo's coastline, with the golden hour light flooding across open-air dining spaces framed by tropical vegetation.

The venue sits at water's edge with unobstructed sightlines to the horizon, offering a natural amphitheater of sky and ocean as your backdrop.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and open terraces allow guests to experience both the visual drama and ocean breeze throughout the celebration.

Such a cute little place with a nice vibe and the best cocktails in town made by tito. They also always have a lineup full of awesome djs and even have a saxophone player almost every night that plays with the dj for a few hours it’s pretty cool. But the place is really new so I still need to try the tapas but from what I’ve seen it looks delicious!!
