    Upon arrival our party was greeted by security and directed to the resorts valet service. We then were transported by golf cart down through the beautiful property to a drop off point for the restaurant. We took our time enjoying the views of the Papagayo before going into the restaurant. We were seated to the tune of baby howlers in the tree next to us which we watched playfully climb through a giant mimosa tree only feet from our table. Jorge, our server, was very knowledgeable about the chef and how their experience is enhanced with local flavors and techniques. The food was possibly the best we have enjoyed in all of Costa Rica. My wife eats a vegan diet and their options were more than satisfying to her. We will definitely return and recommend this experience to others. Impeccable service, food, ambiance, and all around dining experience. Upon leaving we were shuttled again to our awaiting vehicle. Every step throughout our evening with the Waldorf we were greeted with a staff that loves their job and it shows. Thank you for a perfect evening.
