"My three children and I stayed in the Pura Vida Casita for two nights and we were sorry to leave. Pippa and Donald are friendly, helpful hosts, as are their staff. The location is quiet and beautiful. The casita was updated and had complete amenities. The highlight for me was absolutely the breakfast/common area, from which you can simply relax and watch the birds. The Pura Vida is probably the closest to the common area which had benefits .If you are looking to feel welcomed by people who quickly feel like friends, and connect with the Costa Rican rainforest, this a wonderful place to stay."
