NOTHING. TERRIBLE PLACE.

We had the worst experience in Pura Vita. I’m easy going and never have issues while traveling. I asked to see the room and the receptionist would not allow till checkin time even tho there were plenty of rooms empty to see. I then got quoted a way higher price than shown online and would not match the price or show me which room I would be getting if I booked online. The staff was rude and seemed completely disinterested in hosting us. I left and tried to find other accommodations but unfortunately the hostel near by was already booked out so needed up coming back to Pura Vita. The room was very run down, walls have mould, and the fan was rusty. We paid extra for a “sea view room” but it had the bed facing the wall and not the window where you can look at the view (no point in paying for cottage on a beach if you can’t enjoy the view). The power kept going out which made air conditioning constantly turned off. This seemed like an issue specifically with Pura Vita and not the hotels near by. Wi-Fi did not work at all at the are with the cottages, and only by the reception which made it really annoying. After checking out we asked if we could leave our luggage so we can go hangout at different side of the island without our bags and they wouldn’t let us (first time ever in all the many places I’ve stayed). Overall terrible place to stay I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Hope this message gets read by the owner and sees how his place is ran when he’s not around. His employees clearly don’t care.

The location is great, nearby the sea and the ferry station. The staff is great, superfriendly and very helpful. Everything was clean. The restaurant is very good and the prices are okay (this island isn't ceap in general, so...). Recommend it! ❤

The water sometimes stopped, so you had tho be careful not to use too many.

it had AC and was on the beach

the staff was unfriendly and rude. also very loud at night, loud music til midnight or later

Location

Staff, rooms, wrong information provided on rooms. What we booked was different from what was given and staff were not helpful at all.

Food,. location, staff were great.

The property is right beside the pier so when you arrive off the ferry you are literally at the property. There is a restaurant on site. The bungalows for the price paid are good - clean and comfortable with a fan.

When we took a walk along the beach to other properties we considered for our stay, our eyes were opened to the faults of Pura Vita. The strip of beach that is in front of Pura Vita is heavily littered, all other parts of the beach that are in front of other resorts are maintained and clean. Very disappointing that this resort does not pick up the litter as some items we saw on the beach are quite dangerous - lid of a tin, fish hook etc. It got to the stage that my boyfriend got up one morning and raked/ cleaned one bit on the beach so we felt safe enough to sit there. (We still wore shoes going into the sea). This litter problem is probably heightened by the lack of bins too! There are also no sun loungers at the resort only chairs and tables at the restaurant and two beach chairs. This property has a lot of potential they just need to sort out the basics - litter, adding bins, having Sun loungers and chairs.

The entire staff has done a great job especially the big boss kiki.
