Sleeping
Posted March 15th, 2007 by adminHotel Las Brisas
Ten years ago, taking a shower at the seaside Hotel Las Brisas was an adventure. At eye level, columns of termites worked the decades-old clapboard walls with military precision, one column hauling tiny bites of the hotel off to an unseen mound while colleagues moving in the opposite direction passed by to pick up loads.
Eating
Posted March 15th, 2007 by adminBuena Vista Bar & Grill
This is the place to come if you’re in the mood for a good burger or chicken sandwich, or if you feel like hanging with middle-age gringos or catching some sports on satellite TV at a laid-back seaside restaurant and bar that’s been a hit with Americans since it opened in the mid-1990s. The filet mignon and prawns with Thai coconut curry are said to be delicious, and no one will complain if you eat them at the bar, which is made from the loveliest reddish-brown hardwood on the islands, which the local Indians call tabbaco. The building’s owners live above the restaurant and are huge San Francisco 49er fans. If the 'niners are playing and you’re in a festive mood, get here early to get a good seat and request one of their big and potent margaritas.
