Wedding Ceremony/Family Vacation
Katja and Alex are amazing, extremely prompt in responses to all questions that came up, and had everything there that you would need for and relaxing vacation. It was nice that they periodically checked in too, just to make sure everything was up to our expectations. The place was perfect for our family. There were kids of all ages and it was great to have an enclosed space for them to run from one room to the next and all around the property. The hammock swings were a huge hit and we enjoyed every minute. We will be using this place again in the future! You won’t be disappointed with the choice to stay at Pura Vida 💜.

Perfect spot for a long weekend
Pura Vida was the perfect place for our group of 8. The location was ideal for a trip consisting of golf, fishing and chillin’. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Hot tub and cocktails after golf. Grill your catch after fishing. Play cards on the balcony... Just perfect.

Perfect weekend getaway
This hidden gem is absolutely an amazing place to unwind and relax ,it was the perfect place to celebrate the 50th birthday my friend deserves . The owners Alex and Katja explained the name "Pura Vida" to us which fit the place perfectly and were also very informative of the local restaurants, beaches and activities that were close by..
The rooms are very spacious with beautiful island beach feel , the outdoor is a tropical paradise on its own and we all enjoyed it a lot. Definitely a place to return to.
Thank you Katja and Alex for the amazing experience.
