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.
View was breathtaking. Room was clean. Breakfast was made fresh and to order. Pool was great.Short walk to beach.
Mark (proprietor) and was there to greet us. He was very friendly and accommodating. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend Pura Vista to all. I know we will definitely return!
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!

The room, the view, the staff and the location were spectacular! Top notch all the way
Amazing view! Room was very clean.
Private parking in gated area.
Sheets were soft and clean.
Breakfast made fresh every morning.
Soda tredesa in nearby coco beach Amazing and inexpensive.
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.
Une belle petite place, tranquille et propre avec une vue qui vaut « 1 million de dollars ». Hôte très sympathique. Déjeuner, au delà de nos attentes. Nous ne faisions que passer mais, on y serait resté plus longtemps. A une courte distance de marche, belle plage parfaite pour la plongée en apnée. 😊
The view is fantastic! Mark was a great host & the resident cat, Cosmo, was great company also! Very nice boutique hotel with very comfortable rooms. Short walk to the beach.
My wife and I travel a lot and consider Kimpton's roughing it. This hotel was hands down the best-run place we have ever been to. The view is world-class, and the pool is incredible. Breakfast was great. The menu was more of a guide than a fixed option. The owner was such a great guy and helped us with everything we needed, including car repair. We will 100 percent be back.
Mark was a very helpful host and he provided great recommendations for activities and dining. The view was absolutely stunning and the free homemade breakfast was awesome.
Loved the pool and the room's high ceilings and modern decor - everything was very well maintained. Breakfast was very good, though the staff could perhaps have been more attentive. Overall, it was a great stay.
