El Timonel

4.1(147 reviews)

About

In Costa Rica, El Timonel sits at Puente río, Provincia de Puntarenas, Tambor, Panica. The location puts it near the Pacific coast, in one of the country's quieter beach areas.

The venue draws a steady local and visitor trade, and its 4.1 out of 5 average from 147 reviews reflects a reliable following. First-time visitors can expect a relaxed, coastal setting rather than a formal one. San José, Tamarindo and Santa Teresa are the usual reference points for travel planning. The website at https://eltimoneltambor.com/ covers the essentials.

Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns run cooler than the coasts. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year.

Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings. Meals along this coast lean on fruit, plantain and coffee grown in the highlands. Traffic moves on the right-hand side of the road, and long-distance coaches link the main towns.
