Who doesn’t like storytelling? I always loved storytelling. I think everyone’s story is unique in their way. Sharing stories is how we get to know people and where inspiration comes from. I met Daniela through some of the TEFL teachers I trained. Daniela and her partner run a bed and breakfast called Casa Manigua in Playa Samara Costa Rica. It is one of the best bed and breakfast in this small and natural town. I had the honor of dining at Casa Manigua several times and I fell in love with food more and more when I ate there. I even got a cooking lesson from the chef herself which was so much fun and it added to my list of things I can cook.

This cooking star Daniela Bravo Cambronero is from the capital San Jose Costa Rica. She studied at INA- Ciudad Teconologica Mario Echandi. Her passion and love for the kitchen began back in college when she would always cook for her brothers. How lucky are they? hahaha. Her favorite thing to cook is breakfast. She expressed that breakfast gives you that boost, happiness, and energy to start your day. What better way to start your day with a delicious and healthy meal.
Daniela’s cooking style is unique because she puts all of her love in each dish she prepares as well as all the yummy flavors of Costa Rica. This is her recipe for her uniqueness. A few other dishes she loves to cook are very traditional Costa Rican dishes such as Gallo Pinto. Likewise a tasty eggs Benedict, different types of fish, and her mouth-watering sauces. In addition, she also has 100% vegan options and gluten-free on her menu. She has everyone covered. No worries there.
It is a beautiful thing when a career and passion come together.Daniela and her partner started Casa Manigua when they decided to get out of the “rat race life” in San Jose, and start something that brings them joy and purpose. They want their place to make travelers feel like they are at home. They expressed comfort, privacy and amazing food are their main missions for their clients. This is what sets them apart from the rest of the places here in Samara is their love for people, who need that sense of family on their travels.
Daniela plans to keep growing her business, creating and maintaining bonds with her clients, and to keep making them happy through her food. This is an excellent and simple plan. This is why Casa Manigua is a great place to stop by and have a coffee, eat some amazing breakfast, have a good chat, get a cooking class, have some laughs and enjoy the simpleness of life through good food and blessed energy.
