View from the Langosta Beach Club

Although the name may be misleading, the Langosta Beach Club is actually on Tamarindo Beach on the road to Langosta across the street from the Ibis condominiums.  You can also access it via the beach.  Don’t confuse this restaurant with Le Beach Club, which is further north in the center of the shopping section of town.

Owners of certain Tamarindo Preserve developed properties are automatically members, but it is also open to the public.

Guests of the restaurant are welcome to sit at the tables either in the restaurant section or on the beach.  It is a nice experience to have a meal barefoot with your toes in the sand.

For guests staying in CPM’s Tamarindo rentals and Langosta rentals who want access, there is an extra either half day or daily charge for use of the pool and cabanas.  Look for a full breakdown of fees and services shortly.

My dad and I arrived for an early lunch.  We were greeted by Maggie, one of the restaurant operators.  She is super friendly and speaks English, Spanish and her native French.  The restaurant opens at 10AM and does not have a breakfast menu although a few items can be prepared.  In general, the staff try to be as accommodating as possible.

We ordered a couple cappucinos and enjoyed the view.  The property is very well designed and landscaped.  The restaurant and bar area have an open view of the ocean and guests can either eat there or at tables on the beach.  The view includes the moorings in front of Tamarindo Beach and you can see all the way across to Playa Grande and Cabo Velas on the north end of Tamarindo Bay.

Tuna Salad from Langosta Beach Club

For lunch, I ordered the tuna salad.  Don’t get this confused with a mayonnaise concoction.  This is a large bed of lettuce and other vegetables with strips of fresh raw tuna and tasty cheese.  The dish is meant to be served this way but less adventurous eaters can request cooked tuna as well.  It was excellent.

Dad had the veggie panini, which came with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and was grilled to perfection with a sweet sauce.  It was fantastic as well.  The staff were friendly and attentive and the location cannot be beat.

Look for a full menu and event schedule to be published shortly.
