I was told a bottle of wine would be brought to the room but never came even after a reminder. Our TV remote did not work. Once that problem was solved they told us the TV was only in Spanish. Overall we enjoyed the hotel. A great pool, fun happy hour, beautiful view and a shuttle bus to Tamarindo that was very convenient.

The people are so rude, unprofessional, not helpful at ALL, they don’t know anything about their own area. They are quick to over charge you and there’s zero hospitality. Even if you speak to them in Spanish they are still illiterate. Never going back again.

I enjoyed staying here as it was out of the busy downtown core. The free shuttle provided was very convenient and easy to use. The pool was very nice with view. Loved sitting out on the balcony at sunset. The only complaint is the cost of the food was very expensive. The breakfast buffet was always stocked and great options.

The pool and view are beautiful, but our stay was a true nightmare. The first night we arrived, we had dinner at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was good. Around 7:30, the restaurant and patrons started being attacked by giant flying grasshoppers landing on our tables and on our bodies. They continued throughout our walk through the lobby to our room. The next morning we witnessed a couple being attacked while heading to the elevator. The man said one giant grasshopper had flown at him and knocked his glasses off his face. We left the property and headed to the beach club which is included in the hotel amenities. The beach club was very nice. We left after a bit and walked into town. We asked other hotels if they had a problem with flying grasshoppers and they did not. That night we made sure we were in our room by 5:30, and We moved hotels the very next day. The employees at the hotel, except for one waiter and the bartender at the pool bar, do not represent Pura Vida as in other hospitality areas we have experienced. The place is very nice looking but it’s far away from everything up 3 very steep hills. The hotel website should warn potential guests that it is home to these giant flying grasshoppers,. Im not sure if its the area or the particular lighting at the restaurant that attracts them, as it was not an issue at the hotels closer to the beach.

Expedia misrepresented this property online, stating it was a 15 min walk to beach. We are fit but walking down the three steep hills and to the beach was 25 mins. Walking back would more difficult because of steep, narrow roads. There were few walkable roads nearby without doing hills. Had we known this we would have rented a beachfront hotel. Pool & view were standouts. However there was very limited shading by pool. Internet was horrible. Food was ok though the same everyday at breakfast. Horrible drinks by poolside. People who worked at resort were very nice and accommodating. Shuttle service ran on the hour and were sometimes filled. More frequent shuttle service would have been nice.

Although the hotel was small, it was very compact and beautifully designed and felt very open and airy. Because I have mobility issues, the easy access to the pool and restaurant was a big plus. The long beautiful pool was great for swimming. The staff was extremely accommodating and welcoming.
