El Faro de Puntarenas
Cultural landmark
👍👍 Great place to visit as there went many people, water was warm, and did the dolphin tour with a local fisherman (2500 colones per person) and saw many pods of dolphins. Food vendors and retailers were good and prices were pretty good. It was a great day to spend here!

Matobes Pizza & Pasta
Restaurant
👍👍 The place is excellent. The pizza is delicious and reminds me of real Italian pizza. The pasta is also very good. If you are looking for good bread in Costa Rica, this is the place to go.

👍👍 Despite of this awful city, Punta Arenas, the restaurant is really nice. We were a bit lost and super hungry and we found this place like an oasis in the middle of a desert. The staff was friendly and the food was quite good. The beach was clean and the atmosphere peaceful.

Restaurante y heladería Casa del Helado #3
Restaurant
👍👍 Una buena opción de comida en el puerto. Todo sabe bien desde los churchill, una papicarne hasta el arroz con mariscos, ya que en comparación a su otra sede tiene más variedad de platillos. Los patacones son súper recomendados, duran un poco más en salir, pero son enormes y deliciosamente tostaditos
