Alexander
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.

Viviana
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!
Will
Loved this place way up in the hills with fantastic views overlooking the ocean
Neil Edward
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! 😎🌅
Mart
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.

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.

Mark and staff were very welcoming. Place is great and breakfast was perfect. View can’t be beat.
Taryn
We had an amazing time! Room was spectacular, view otherworldly and the vibe was so relaxed. Highly recommend.
William X Madden
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.
Carol
The view from the deck is amazing. The room is thoughtfully appointed. A great property!
Kimberly
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.
Barry
Mark was great to talk with about the area and his involvement with local causes. Breakfast was excellent local cuisine.
Carrie
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.
patricia
Clean and beautiful view
Andy
This is a small and economical but REALLY nice place. The view is staggering! pool is maintained daily. Breakfast is wonderful; not your typical hotel 'continental breakfast'. We woke to so many birds calls and even howler monkeys in the distance. Lots of endearing subtitle features: plants, decorations, bedding options, filtered water, lounge covers... Check-in and out was smooth. Staff was OUTSTANDING. Can't miss staying here!
Joseph
We chose Pura Vista to enjoy the natural scenery and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The image of the pool overlooking this truly captures the essence of our stay. We woke to the sound of howling monkeys and enjoyed beautiful watching blue jays flying about. Our room with the private pool was very comfortable and clean and we had good rest, energizing us for the next day. Mark the owner and his staff were very gracious and went above and beyond to be sure we were comfortable, helped us find transportation and local restaurant recommendations. Mark proved to have a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and sea ecology which I found remarkable. Last but not least, we fell in love with the resident cat, Cosmo, who checked in on us daily to be sure we were having a lovely vacation. Thank you Pura Vista owners and staff, from Cindra & Joe.
Lynne
My kids and I loved our one nite stay at the Pura Vista. The view was gorgeous and Mark and the staff made us feel right at home. Wish we had stayed longer.
Nathan
This is a small 6-room boutique hotel that is up the hill from Ocotal Beach (Playa Ocotal) and about a 10-minute drive from the main strip on Coco Beach (Playas del Coco).
Mark is a great host, and he and his team do an awesome job running the hotel. Mark greeted us when we arrived at ~9pm even though our room key had already been arranged for us in a lock box.
Our unit was clean, updated, and had a balcony with a fantastic view of the ocean. Every morning, a complimentary vegetarian breakfast was provided that featured fruit, gallo pinto (rice & beans), and eggs. The pool was the perfect place to take a dip after returning from the beach/ocean, and it overlooks the same wonderful view that's enjoyed from the rooms and breakfast area.
Parking was never a challenge during our stay because there were never more than 2-3 cars in the lot. The parking area, and the entire hotel, are in a secluded but safe and gated area.
My only quibbles are that it would be nice if the hotel offered more complete amenities (they provide shampoo and conditioner, but not body wash and lotion) and some of the towels had frayed edges. Otherwise, our stay at Pura Vista was first-class!

Very friendly owner, beautiful views from room. Had a lovely stay. Bit of an uphill walk back from the beach but good to get your steps in. The beach is nice and not too crowded.

When we arrived there was a hiccup at airport / rental car. I was very concerned but called Thisbee. She calmed me, explained options, and was a trusted colleague. The owners went well above their “jobs” to assure our stay was perfect, and it was.

Awesome views. Great host. Cool cat!
Nicole
Lovely host! Difficult to get transportation as the property is located in a residential community outside of town. Only one dining option. The restaurant at the property only serves very small breakfasts, so you will need to go elsewhere for all other meals and food. Would be a better choice of stay if we had rented a car. We

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!

Loved the place!! Everything about it from the owners to the view. Definitely want to return!
Donald
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.
Donald
The view is amazing, everything is super clean. With only 6 rooms, we don't have to deal with a crowded pool. Some of the wild birds are very friendly.
BARRY
OWNER reneged on hotels.com booking details
I booked this with Hotels.com and free breakfast was included in the booking. After checking in, the owner confused my booking with another, I had to switch rooms, did not get any toiletries at all during the stay. The owner, after stating that we would get the free breakfast, told me at breakfast the next morning that my breakfast was NOT free, because my room rate was so low. Very unprofessional, I notified hotels.com and they issued me a credit, but this owner clearly doesn't live up to his promises. Stay away.
Robert
Don't pass on this gem!
Flo is a wonderful host, he could not do enough to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. A bit out of the way, but close enough to get around . His food, his tips on what to do, he tries to help you any way he can. He advised me of a fabulous tour guide, and gave me a contact with a reliable cab driver. Would have no hesitations of staying here again. I made a friend with Flo! :)
Lacey B
The owner, Flo is amazing and so hospitable. Love this place.
Anne
Hard to find, no one was there when I arrived. I went somewhere else. Was non refundable so I lost out.
John
Beautiful view! Exceptionally friendly and helpful host. Practical room, desk to work at, coffee maker. Good lighting. Very quite and peaceful. Can walk to Father Rooster. That’s about 1/2 mile and quicker going there down the hill than coming back up. Otherwise need to car to get around.
JORGE
Acceso un poco complicado y no hay restaurantes cerca a pie. Hay que ir en carro
Tiffany
Wow! Pura Vista is amazing. Having only 6 rooms, we felt like we were the only ones there most days. The views are incredible. Also, Flo, the owner, fixes an AMAZING breakfast I highly suggest. If you’re lucky, Johnny, the bird will come greet you.
