We would have loved to give this property 5 stars. It was clean, beautiful, centrally located. Great pool, cool bar upstairs with live music and great TVs each evening.
Close to the beach, a quick 80 cent bus ride, stops right in front. Staff gave very good service. Now the cons-
NO ONE was Pura Vida. We were not asked our names the whole 5 days, no one was happy to see us, ever. The servers and bartenders seemed very disconnected from us. The drinks were VERY EXPENSIVE and they were not strong, EVER. example=34.00 for two drinks- they were okay at best. we started bringing our own or going elsewhere. Becuase the drinks were so expensive and mediocre we didn't eat there, only the free breakfast, which was fantastic every day. We ate everywhere else and the food was GREAT and the drink were half the price. Everyone at all the other places we visited were so friendly and personable. We wished we had saved the money at ECOTICA and airbnb's it for less. Also, teh AC had issues our whole visit. They were quick to respond but the problem ultimately was not solved.
Again, we loved a lot about this property. At 5pm the monkeys come out and play right in front of the bar. But you don't have to stay there to enjoy that.
