Surprisingly great dishes but not so great service: Restaurant Observatory @ Arenal Observatory Lodge (17. – 18. April 2017)
There are just some things, I do not understand! We were sitting close to the window at a regular table while having our ‘happy hour drinks’ and decided on the spot to eat something. So, I asked for the menu which I was brought, but I was informed that I cannot place my order while […]
