Vivace beachfront restaurant, open-air tables facing the Pacific

Two Vivace Locations

Mediterranean Soul, Pacific Setting

Vivace brings Sicilian Chef Luigi's Mediterranean cooking to two settings: our beachfront restaurant on Playa Hermosa, and the original Ristorante Vivace in the heart of Jacó.

Eat & Drink · Bars

Two bars, both on the resort

Both bars are right here on the resort: toes in the sand at sunset, or a frozen drink without leaving the pool — each just a few steps from your room.
