KAI

"Strong cocktails, soft reggae, and sweeping ocean views—what more could you want? KKai sits on Playa Jobos in surfing hotspot Isabela in the northwest, so this is about as close to a toes-in-the-sand experience as it gets. The bar stocks 10 kinds of (mainly international) beer and with about the same number of cocktails on the menu—more, if you count the six different kinds of margaritas. Be warned: the cocktails taste tropical and sweet, but they're potent. A couple of rum punches may just knock you out. But you can't really go wrong with a cold rum punch, a plate of mofongo, and #nofilterneeded vistas over the beach." - Kris Fordham
