A reason to fall in love in love with the Caribbean

A nice article on 7 reasons to fall in love with the Caribbean and to our delight we are the culinary reason. Its pretty fulfilling to see our little place in this tiny town on the Costa Rican coastline receive so much positive press coverage in the short time we have been open. I guess we must be doing something right and thats why we also have to keep on expanding our seating to keep up with demand. Two more ginger mojitos please !

We have been showing up on travel and restaurant blogs lately. Of course we love these shameless plugs and keep sharing them. Who can resist a cold mojito while watching the sun set over the caribbean sea

Costariquissíma !

As the Brazilian football team headed by Ronaldinho arrived in Costa Rica for a friendly game against the Ticos Koki Beach also got into the spotlight when mentioned by TV hostess Diana Bouth in the Carioca media as a spot to visit in the beach side village of Puerto Viejo, Caribesur. She travelled with her 5 year old son Pedro;

"KoKi Beach “Um clube de praia com restaurante requintado, que fica em um trecho mais badalado do litoral. Ali o Pedro sempre encontrava outras crianças para brincar.”

“KoKi Beach "A beach club with a refined restaurant, located on the most lively piece of the coast. There, Pedro always found other kids to play with.” Waterfront Town, Center

Look what people say about us

This was posted this morning on Trip Advisor, a leading travel site with reviews and opinions, by a visitor about their experience

" Koki Beach - we picked this place due to the beautiful ocean view it has. Their yucca chips were awesome and I had the tilapia with Caribbean sauce. The view and the ambiance were amazing, and it was probably my favorite meal of my trip.

Well, thank you, Mr Kennedy

Cafe Colada

Talamanca

The county of Talamancas indigenous community is easy to reach from the beach towns of Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. Rich in culture and customs its well worth a visit. Koki Beach incorporated handcrafts ranging from lamps made from "hickaras" and baskets woven from local plants. This matriarch is preparing the palm leaves used for basket weaving in her abode made from palm trunks and raised above ground on stilts

KOKI BEACH featured in Lonely Planet Magazine Dec issue

So we got several mention and was recommended as in Lonely Planet Mag this month. Here is an excerpt from the article ;

Copas con tragos multicolores se vacían y se vuelven a llenar en la terraza de Koki Beach. La noche con luna creciente apenas ilumina el tranquilo mar Caribe. Cuesta imaginar esa ola perfecta con el mar tan planchado. Los Cafres suenan alto: “Quiero despertar tranquilo en un lugar, quiero despertar tranquilo y disfrutar. Lejos del circo quiero estar...”. En la mesa de al lado dos chicas negras se ponen de pie y bailan el reggae como si estuvieran solas. En la barra, un surfer rasta lamenta la escasez de olas y su amigo lo consuela: “Vea, mae -la forma de llamarse unos a otros en Costa Rica-, deje de quejarse, el Todopoderoso sabe, ¿oye? Si el mar está flat (chato), pues a bucear, mae, a sacar langosta, no sea necio”. Jorge, uno de los dueños del lugar, se vuelve hacia mí, que me estoy yendo, y, mientras me despide, me repite con picardía: “Y oiga, no se olvide de que el Caribe está de moda.”

KOKi Beach celebrating One Year Anniversary with Art Exhibition

KOKi Beach is kicking of Anniversary party with Art Exhibit by renowned Costa Rican artist Adrian Gomez 6 PM Saturday Oct 2.

Adrian Gomez en su parlabras

Mi encuentro con el Caribe inició hace tanto como lo que tengo de memoria... claro, ¡esto sin saber

que sería atrapado por su belleza! Hoy a la vuelta de tantos años la alegría de reencontrarme junto a él y

mi lectura de lo que he sentido es para mi como artista ... su sensación y color Caribe... se da con una alegría

enorme en este momento y junto a ello el honor de poder compartir con todos este conjunto de piezas, síntesis

de un proceso de más de 15 años, asi que no siendo de otra forma esto, hoy luego de todo este recorrido llego

con mi obra, junto a parte del entorno que le dio vida y sentido a mi labor de artista, mi amor por el Caribe...

Además a ello se suma el honor de tenerlos en este espacio tan especial de KOKI BEACH y muy especialmente

para que la misma sea parte de la celebración de su primer aniversario, mi agradecimiento por el espacio y

celebremos la belleza de nuestro Caribe...

Adrián Gómez

Octubre 2 , 2010

Adrián Gómez. (Costa Rica, 1962).

Artista visual proveniente de la generación de finales de 1980, su formación de carácter autodidacta a partir de

1978. Ha participado a la fecha en más de 47 muestras colectivas y realizado 34 exposiciones individuales. La obra

de Gómez está apoyada dentro de una línea figurativa nutriéndose esta de la cultura Afro-Caribeña, con la cual

logra darle continuidad a una constante presente en su obra, como lo son el movimiento, el mundo lúdico de la niñez,

la paz y los espacios de serenidad; todas ellas sensaciones con los cuales elabora su lenguaje y de esta forma logra

transmitir un acercamiento de cómo ...respira la vida el Caribe…
