"we recently spent a wonderful
vacation with you in August and
hope to return in April for a visit.
The hotel staff was excellent, as
was the food. My husband still talks
about the fabulous sashimi
appetizers Alex made. No wonder
we extended our stay!"

When is the last time you enjoyed a gourmet quality, spectacularly presented meal
comprised entirely of fresh, organic, ingredients - grown and raised within 20 miles
of your plate? Well, that is what you will experience at our guests-only Whale's Tail
ClubHouse Grill.
Every night we welcome you to a World-Tropcial culinary experience, enjoying the
best of Tropical Cuisine with the flavors of Latin America, Asia and the Mediterranean.
Tropical, warm climates throughout the world feature succulent fruits, unusual
vegetables and distinctive spices. Taking advantage of our local, organic bounty
you'll experience foods like Chayote, Green Mango, Baby Calamari, homemade
Ginger/Green Tea Ice Cream, Rainforest Mushrooms and many more - brought
together with relaxed "Casual Fine Dining" comfort and a variety of serving styles.
Our surprise blending of Small Plate meals, Tastings, Tapas, Traditional 4 courses
and Buffet guarantees a tireless gastronomic panorama. Full meals are less than $40.
We feature locally grown and raised organic fruits and produce, grass-fed meats &
poultry, the freshest seafood right from our front yard (among the Pacific's most
mercury free waters) and whole grains. We bake our own healthy breads, muffins,
rolls, tortillas and afternoon cookies. Breakfast and lunch are ala carte - and equally
creative, healthy and beautiful.
Preparation is handled by Chef Alex - one of Costa Rica's most recognized,
outstanding young chefs - and his 3 Sous Chefs (Juan, Dyana and David). Their
youthful exuberance shows on every plate and their preference for simple and
healthy is central to their creativity.
Plates are hearty and comfortable - but impeccably presented and complex. For five
years, our guests have been raving about the nightly surprise they experience at the
Grill. Their experience proves that dining at the Club is a new venture every night.
Dinner at the Clubhouse is considered one of Costa Rica's finest culinary
experiences; the all-natural ingredients we utilize come together into flavorful,
tropical-region dishes. Because our menu changes everyday, here is a sampling of
some of the Dinner Starters, Entrees and Deserts as well as a few Lunches:

Most people who visit Costa Rica are
excited about the coffee - so we have
created a new adventure in tasting.
Everyday we feature several native coffees,
specializing in those grown in quantities too
small for export. These boutique blends are
produced the old-fashioned way - with love!
or you can choose lattes, cappucinos or
straight expresso.
