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!

Easy to find from the airport, once you are close look for signs. No issues with arrival. Our room was clean and comfortable with storage options, safe, mini fridge and smart tv. The owners and staff are exceptional. They are friendly, helpful and quick with a smile. Had breakfast here every day, so delicious with local flavors and incredible view of the ocean and local birds. Cosmo and Princess are incredibly sweet feline ambassadors.

We were blown away by the view. Everyone we interacted with, from the owner (talking through the doorbell camera outside the gate), to the owner's friends who came by, to the staff who made the breakfast were incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed here for one night just to be closer to the airport since we were coming from Nosara. It was worth the slight detour rather than staying at the airport hotel. Amazing last night and morning, sitting on the balcony watching the birds, the boats, and the clouds on the horizon over the water. Just amazing. There was also a very nice restaurant about 5 minutes away at a nearby resort, which was very convenient. The one minor comment I would have is that the bathroom sink faucet and the shower head were both not great, and need to be replaced. They sprayed water in every direction when turned on higher than a trickle. But that's an easy fix. Would definitely stay here again.
