Pura Vista Hotel

Pros: The views are breathtaking. There are only a few rooms, so the area is very quiet. The staff is kind and the breakfast is delicious. The beach is 12 minutes away walling. Great for some quiet days af the pool and the beach.

Cons: Nothing.

Clean, welcoming and accommodating visit with amazing views of the bay and close to the beach

Pros: Spacious for a couple, big beds and fantastic views

Cons: All good

Beyond our expectations

Pros: Wonderful view Welcoming and helpful host Stylish and elegant rooms all scrupulously clean Breakfasts

Great place would stay again.

Pros: Very quiet and peaceful. Relaxed host - Mark was always very helpful with suggestions and advice when needed. It felt like being at home - away! Great location just up from the beach, where there is a good restaurant to eat at. We ate there most nights. Little fridge in the room for drinks. Fantastic view and generally comfortable.

Cons: Air con was a bit noisy but didn’t really bother us.

Beautiful hotel! Would return in a heartbeat.

Pros: We had an amazing 3 nights at Pura Vista. The owner Mark has curated a beautiful and peaceful space. The view is gorgeous (even better in person), the location is fantastic, comfortable and hugeee bed, great water pressure in the shower, and the room has everything you need. Daily breakfast was a plus too, a simple yet delicious typical Tico breakfast, made with love and care. Mark was really friendly and helpful and even kindly allowed us a late check out. A huge bonus was the hotel cats lounging around! Very friendly and sweet. We loved our stay and will definitely return if we’re ever in CR again.

Cons: The toilet didn’t really love flushing super well, we’d often have to give it a few minutes and then come back and flush again. Not the end of the world and did not detract from our trip at all. Pura vida.

An excellent last night in Costa Rica.

Pros: The hosts were especially welcoming. We were allowed to check in early and also permitted to check out half an hour late. The rooms are cozy and the view from the room of the ocean is wonderful. A delicious breakfast was included. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful villa overlooking the bay - but not quite as expected ....

Pros: The bed & breakfast is in an elevated position overlooking Playa Ocotal and enjoys spectacular views from the terrace. Great pool with loungers and comfortable bedrooms - quality bedding with each having a private outdoor area and patio furniture. Owners are warm & welcoming and very responsive to emails/WhatsApp messages. There is secure parking on site. Ocotal beach is approximately 15 mins away on foot and has a great restaurant, otherwise for the majority of restaurants it means a drive into Coco.Beach.

Cons: We booked this some time ago when the property was positioned as a boutique hotel and under a different ownership as we discovered when we got there; the new owners have been there for just 5 months and encourage the guests to be as autonomous as possible; the only time they are really around is at breakfast. Rooms are serviced but you have to ask. Not sure if it's just a case of not having updated the info relating to the property but it wasn't quite what we'd been led to believe when we booked:. there isn't a restaurant/bar/coffee house on site as given which was very disappointing as this was supposed to be a few days of relaxation after a busy holiday and we ended up doing a lot of driving.

Beautiful views!

Pros: The ocean views are gorgeous! The rooms are comfortable, and the outdoor sitting area by the pool was great. Communication with the owners was prompt and helpful. Lili was a wonderful breakfast chef and all-around host. Great view of the night sky.

Cons: No regular hours for on-site staff - would have been especially helpful when we arrived as we had some difficulty locating our room. If you don't have a car (we didn't), be aware that the location is quite far from town, and transportation options are limited. There is really only one restaurant within walking distance (Father Rooster), which has good food and cocktails, but the walking conditions aren't the best (narrow road, steep hills), especially after dark. Even so, we would stay there again now that we know what to expect!

Perfection by the beach

Pros: So perfectly positioned near the beach and amenities

Cons: The location and the very warm welcome by the owners.

Lovely place to spend a couple of days.

Pros: Location was fantastic, ideally located for the beach. Rooms were clean and comfortable and all necessary information was received in advance. So nice to have a dip in the infinity pool after a hot day. The chef that came up to the hotel to make breakfast was lovely and breakfast was delicious.

Cons: Nothing :)
