Neighborhoods
Potrero has a laid-back vibe and does not get caught up in the tourist crowd like Tamarindo or Playas del Coco. This town is sleepy, and everyone who lives here lives here for that reason. You will not find any late-night discotheques here. It has been referred to as the quintessential 1950s beach town, and many people say that they love this little town just the way it is.

One of the better kept secrets in Playa Flamingo and for fine eating is Gracia Mar Vista. A grand architecturally designed space with an infinity pool, breathtaking views, and a swim-up bar that smoothly transitions between indoors and outdoors. In the hills between Brasilito and Flamingo, inside the Mar Vista gated neighborhood, is where you'll find the restaurant.
