The word Manzú means “friends” in the Chorotega language, making us the perfect place to gather with your loved ones—whether it’s for breakfast, a post-surf meal, a barefoot lunch on the sand, relaxing at sunset with a cocktail in hand, or dining under the stars with the ocean as your backdrop.
Commitment to sustainability – Ocean Friendly Business
In 2024, we were recognized as an Ocean Friendly Business by Waterkeeper for our ocean-conscious practices, including recycling, proper organic waste management, avoiding single-use plastics, treating wastewater responsibly, and using biodegradable products. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our kitchen, where we prioritize fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
