Whoever you are and wherever you’ve come from, you’ll be welcomed with open arms at The Lazy Mon at Stanford’s. It's perched on the beachfront overlooking the Caribbean sea in the newly renovated, airy and spacious former home of Stanford’s Disco, one of Puerto Viejo’s longest standing locally-owned establishments. These days, The Lazy Mon does more than its part to share the good vibes of la pura vida with all who visit.

Park your bike and sidle up to the beautiful mosaic bar outside. Live music is offered every Sunday night, and during the week you may catch popular calypso and reggae bands or Puerto Viejo’s own piano-playing legends who belt out torch songs as the sun sets over Salsa Brava beach.

The Lazy Mon at Stanfords’s may be one of the most inviting and laid-back bars and lounges in all of Puerto Viejo, as well as one of its hottest spots to unwind and dance after dark. Happy Hour occurs every day, and is usually advertised on the street-side chalkboard sign.
