Laura gives a real nice online support. But the very especial person is Fernando. He's always in a good mood, receptive in the PURA VIDA vibe. He makes everything work there. Thank all for the reception. And the location is wonderful: out of the noisy center, and in the middle of most sightseeing. I strongly recommend it. ❤️

The room was basic but the surroundings were surreal. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The bed was comfortable. One recommendation: more/better face cloths! Besides that, the property is a gem. Loved our time on the hammocks by the pool area. The outdoor breakfast area was lovely as well.
View of the Arenal volcano from our porch in front of our room.
There was a coffee farm in bloom at the property next door.
