Hotel Pura Vista is simply a true gem that’s tucked away in its own little haven yet close enough to everything. Mark went above and beyond in providing local recommendations for things to do or eat. He is very knowledgeable about the area, local businesses, and provided great perspective on the local area(s). Highly recommend it and will certainly stay here again!

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were very nice, clean, and exactly what you need for a comfortable stay with an incredible view! I’m not a morning person but I never missed a great locally inspired breakfast- included with the stay. The hotel is located in a great spot for the view, close enough to the beach for a quick trip there and back, and tucked away just enough to give you that local feel away from the tourist madness. Golf cart recommended and it is really enjoyable exploring the location or going to Coco beach a few minutes away if you still want to see what they offer for the tourists. Highly recommend the king suite, beach view! 😎🌅

This is the place you’re looking for if you want a great view of the ocean, the beach a short 7 minute stroll away, and the best host and staff we’ve stayed with. This is not a resort experience. This property is the owners’ passion; a peaceful, perfectly maintained paradise. The beach is the best (we visited several!) around; clean and with an awesome restaurant. The owner was on-site for our visit and shared so much great local intel. If you have any doubt, contact them and they can put you in touch with me. I be happy to answer any questions!
