Pura Vista Hotel

Staying at Pura Vista Hotel was such an incredible experience. It is a very cozy hotel that has mesmerizing views and romantic atmosphere. It is very clean and set up comfortably. Only 10 minutes walk to the beach through a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, this very unique place made our vacation memorable. Definitely would want to come back!

Any of the picture does not justice to the amazing view this place has to offer. We were absolutely blown away. The place is very comfortable. We had such a great night. The hosts are very lovely people and we had a great time talking to them. If we have again the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica, this will be one of our stop.

Loved the place!! Everything about it from the owners to the view. Definitely want to return!

We stayed for a wonderful relaxing week at the Pura Vista hotel. Flo, our host, was very attentive & sincerely cares about your experience & comfort. The vista from the pool & our room was beautiful. The quiet & relaxed atmosphere was very soothing. Breakfast on the balcony was a wonderful way to start the day, Flo makes the best coffee! We highly recommend staying here. Pura Vista will deliver Pura Pleasure.

I arrived & the manager was bizarre, the check in was chaotic. I specifically asked for good Wi-Fi he laughed & said “I must admit room 4 has bad Wi-Fi, but you can work on the patio or the canteen on the 1st floor”. I was told the breakfast is free, but he kept on talking about alcohol, would pause to speak about “vibrations” & then spoke about alcohol again. I am a Muslim, I told him, he kept on talking about local bars. I ignored all of this but when I went to my room it had no Wi-Fi at all & the room had a major pest infestation, which he laughed off as “you are in the jungle”. The next morning I asked for another room as I am on a working holiday, he finally gave me a room with good wifi but the peats came back, I have so many in my room, I can hear them, it’s vile. When I tried to talk to him he was really dismissive & then he stopped offering me the breakfast, cold. The area is so dull, only two restaurants & the local shop is far. I would wake up so hungry & starved. It felt like I was being punished. *********** have done nothing to help, it killed off my trip to Costa Rica, I am never going back.

Very friendly hosts, magnificent view, peaceful and quiet.

What can we say about Hotel Pura Vista? Amazing? Outstanding? Peaceful? Beautiful? All of the above! Our host/owner, Flo made us feel like VIP’s from the moment he greeted us and sat us down for a glass of cold water on the balcony of the beautiful breakfast area. Check in was quick and easy and Flo personally showed us to our room to explain how everything worked. The view from our room was spectacular! It was clean and comfortable with a king size bed, air conditioning, TV that we really didn’t need, small bar fridge and cool LED lighting behind the bed. Pool is small but perfect and felt like it was our own for a relaxing swim to cool off anytime of the day with THAT view. Breakfast was simple and elegant and inexpensive with the best coffee ever. We are not super athletic, and the walk to the beach and back is not bad at all, and Ocotal is a private and gorgeous black sand paradise with howler monkeys in the trees. For a little context we stayed the prior week in one of the big upscale developments in Coco and this place was way better for us. Thanks Flo and we’ll see you next time we are in CR. Pura Vida!

We stayed for four days and enjoyed the most relaxing part of our 5 week tour of Costa Rica. Flo and Sandra made us so welcome from the moment we arrived and they have a fantastic property with an outstanding view overlooking the valley and the sea. So very comfortable with private seating area and sun beds outside our room next to the pool. Breakfast is situated on a veranda and the best coffee served by Flo. You must try the eggs prepared by Sandra. We visited 3 beaches nearby and two recommended restaurants. We had a car but enjoyed the walk down to the restaurant and beach, Playa Azur. Flo was kind enough to offer us beach chairs. Nothing is too much trouble and we loved our stay here . If you get the chance, you must go

The view is amazing, even better than the pictures. Everything is spotlessly clean and it's a very quiet neighborhood. The owners are very caring and very, very helpful with everything and anything. Most days we just lazed around by the pool and still slept for 10 hours each night.
