"This was a great location for us travelling with our young granddaughter (4yrs old) - Buffet style restaurants were convenient for large volume of people. Robinson at the main buffet was an exceptional and friendly. "

"Well stocked, strong air conditioning but Hot water turns off occasionally. Try to check before front office leaves. Tupperware, Saran Wrap, Tinfoil would have been handy. Laundry soap not supplied. Lots of steep uphill walking. Some outside furniture getting old. Sunsets behind hill around 5:30pm. Comfy beds, nice view."

"Everything worked as it should, property could just benefit from an update."

"The villa has everything that you need. Views are incredible and very relaxing. My family of five had plenty of room! Highly recommend this home."

"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!"

"This was such a perfect place for a relaxing vacation in Costa Rica! The check-in process with Jacky and Cesar was so easy - and they are very helpful with recommendations. We did not plan much in advance and just waited to see how we felt that day and it was perfect for me. The hosts Jane and John were so kind and understanding of a last minute date shift, and were able to help me work out some details, which I was so appreciative of. The villa was amazing, clean, well-stocked with plates, linens, beach towels. The resort pool was relaxing, and you could sit on the lounge chairs and enjoy a nice breeze while looking out at the beach. The beach was fabulous with good snorkeling right off shore. We saw howler monkeys right in front of our villa one day! We enjoyed the on-site restaurant - great food and service. I did not want to come home! Would love to stay again soon. "

"Could not be more pleased with the location and cleanliness! Owner was super responsive and the staff on site was great. Monkeys outside the door. Steps from the beach. Appreciate the security guard doing nightly walk around. This was our second stay and would highly recommend. "

"This condo is great but the complex is just fantastic. We’ve stayed here many times over the last decade. The swimming pool is amazing. The unit’s proportions are gigantic. Getting there takes some attention but easy once you have done it once. "

"One of the most outstanding properties, for house layout, location and amenities, we have ever rented. The property was not clean. The patios and outside furniture were almost not usable due to the lack of cleaning. It was like every drawer, every cabinet, junk was just thrown in after each guest. There was no on site concierge, there was no light daily cleaning as advertised. We were advised that a party of 15 checked out the morning we arrived, so there was not enough time to clean? We had to insist on getting access to laundry facilities, only too be too scared to use, once provided due to the uncleanliness. The house would be fabulous, if someone went in organized and threw mountains of trash away. And, demanded guests keep it that way. Shampoo and lotion was provided, no soap. No hot water in the kitchen and no kitchen towels. Most of the beach and pool towels were in a pile in a dirty garage. We would definitely stay here again, provided there were assurances of it being clean and organized. We can not state enough how beautiful the house is, how perfect the house layout and how beautiful the outdoor spaces. "
