the property has a modern, fully equipped kitchen for the owner only. noise can be an issue.

rustic ambiance, excellent cleanliness, unique outdoor showers

Need more flexibility with the strict 8pm check-in policy!!! Availability of microwaves and coffee pots would enhance convenience, as well as improved privacy features in bathrooms for shared accommodations!!!

Cleanliness stood out. you won't find a speck of dirt here. The outdoor showers are a cool touch, adding a unique vibe to the experience.

The 8pm check-in deadline policy is strict, leading to unnecessary stress if travel plans change. Noise can be an issue due to nearby dogs and roosters, but it becomes charming over time. Lacked a microwave and coffee pot, with some rooms missing hammocks, which would’ve elevated the comfort level.

The location of Pura Vida is perfect, just a block from shops and restaurants. Loved the hotel’s cleanliness and the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens. My room had a private bath and was airy and breezy. Housekeeping was daily, which exceeded my expectations. Breakfast in the mornings was delightful. they brought coffee to my room when requested. On the downside, the rooms lacked glass windows, which let in all the sounds from outside, like people chatting or dogs barking at night. Also, the outdoor seating area can get busy, which made it a bit tricky to relax at times. Would recommend a little more privacy for shared bathroom guests. Despite these quirks, I enjoyed my stay greatly, especially with the tranquility in the mornings and the friendliness of the staff.

pura vida is in an excellent location, just a block away from shops and restaurants. the property is very clean and has nice spots to relax in the tropical gardens. we enjoyed sitting in comfortable chairs and hammocks, surrounded by beautiful greenery.

ideal base for exploring shops, parks, and vibrant eateries nearby

my stay was delightful as the hotel is super clean and just a short walk from a delightful local eatery, Soda Shekina, where I loved grabbing breakfast in the morning, and it was also close to the beautiful Playa Cocles, perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll along the beach.

pura vida is a beautifully designed hotel with a modern kitchen and is just a block away from various beaches. the tropical gardens create a lovely atmosphere, perfect for relaxing in the comfortable chairs and hammocks. the owners are welcoming, making you feel at home.

would appreciate a bit more flexibility with check-in times.

I had a wonderful stay at pura vida! The staff was helpful and the atmosphere was perfectly peaceful for relaxation. My room was clean, with a lovely breeze that made the absence of air conditioning unnoticeable.

the strict 8pm check-in policy was stressful.

Immaculately clean and highly attentive service with a welcoming, homey atmosphere.

do recommend for getting around area

Comfortable room, clean common areas, and excellent location, which made it easy to explore nearby shops, restaurants, and access transportation services.

We LOVED our room and the staff! Our second-floor room had a private bath and was airy enough that we never missed having air conditioning. Housekeeping came daily, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast was delightful, and the staff was attentive, even bringing coffee to our room on request. The location was ideal, just a short walk to shops and restaurants.

While it was a bit noisy at night with dogs and roosters, we found it charming over time.

relaxing tropical escape with lovely hammocks for lounging

I truly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Pura Vida! It's a beautifully designed property, nestled away in a serene atmosphere with comfy hammocks, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The cleanliness of the premises is commendable, and I felt at home during my time there.

The room was spacious and well-designed, with a delightful open shower that embraced nature. Friendly staff attended to us, providing great advice and ensuring a clean and safe environment during our visit. However, the noise from nearby roosters and dogs might be bothersome for some, especially at night. Also, while the hot water was reliable, the absence of a kitchen and refrigerator greatly limited food options.

Friendly staff, and enjoyed laundry services. No mini fridge in the room.

We absolutely loved the spacious room's design, especially the open shower with nature around it! The breakfast was delightful, filled with fresh fruits and coffee. The only downside was the shared bathroom could have used more privacy.
