They were so accommodating when we arrived later than expected. We had to order dinner to be delivered and our hosts set a table for us to enjoy it. We had an early flight the next day and our hosts packed a delicious breakfast to go for us and our two kids. They also arranged a taxi to pick us up the morning of our flight. Service was above and beyond!

Wish there was a fan in the room just to keep some air circulating. Loved the place otherwise.

Nice hotel and staff. Beautiful grounds.

We were all delighted when the owner, Bernie, opened the property gate and welcomed us into this gorgeous garden oasis! We spent our first and last nights in Costa Rica here. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and so fun! Bernie was a fantastic host and has a deep knowledge of the place and lore that he will share if invited to. The views from the room are so beautiful, and the hammocks in the garden are lovely. Coffee and outdoor dining space are great. We loved it and would love to return!

We loved our stay and breakfast so much! The one item to improve would be the warmth of shower water (if it is an option to do so).

Our stay at Pura Vida was one of the most memorable of my entire life. This trip was my first visit outside of the country that I was born in, and Pura Vida Hotel was the first place I've stayed outside of the USA. Bernie started communicating with me via email immediately after I made my reservation. He offered the best advice on places of interest in Costa Rica and patiently answered all my questions, some of which I'm sure he probably thought were ridiculous. He also arranged for Alamo to deliver a rental car to us the morning after we arrived. His and Nhi's place is breathtakingly beautiful, and it has the best "Zen vibe" I've ever experienced. Nhi's meals were superb as well, and both she and Bernie were the perfect hosts, entertaining us with stories of Costa Rican history while we dined with the other guests. I would recommend Pura Vida Hotel to anyone who wants to experience the best of Costa Rica!

I cannot think of anything that could be improved.

I liked everything. I loved the little house we stayed in. I loved the orchids and the detail given to the garden. I loved the owner who was bright, helpful, intelligent, and humorous. I loved the hammocks and the outdoor seating. The breakfast was lovely. The place has a soul.

Asking for more would just be greedy.

the birds, the plants, waiting for the bats

Personalized attention, beautiful setting, deluxe spacious accommodations, convenient location, warm expert guidance

Everything was perfect!

We stayed here twice: When we arrived in Costa Rica and the Night before we left. We highly recommend it! Everything is amazing: The Casitas, the dogs, very good breakfast and late night snack… the Garden is absolutely beautiful and the owner Berni is very kind and helpful! It really was perfect ❤️
