Internet not good

The views! Comfortable beds. The pool

Stayed in March 2024

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.

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.

While the location was peaceful and beautiful it may not be for everyone. It’s a short drive to get into Playa Ocotal where there are restaurants and shops. There are only two restaurants within walking distance to Pura Vista Hotel (Father Roosters and Soluna Beach Bistro). Both were very good but it’s always nice to have a variety to choose from. Room wise, our AC unit was pretty loud but necessary if you want a room temp under 26C. Our shower was nice but didn’t drain well. We found the checkout was a little unconventional. We were never charged before arrival as per our reservation confirmations so we settled up all costs upon departure. It was difficult to get a straight answer on the final billing and no invoice was ever provided. In the end we confirmed our final billing through WhatsApp correspondence. Really no problem, just a relaxed approach. Pura Vida.

Pura Vista is situated high up above Playa Ocotal so the views are amazing. We loved the pool and patio area. With a north facing vista you could get some nice late afternoon shade. We had tasty breakfasts daily (thank you Lili Alvarez) in the upper dining area. We used that same area each evening to unwind, listen to music, play cards, and hang with our travel companions. Our room (room 3 lower level) was clean and comfortable and the bed was very comfortable. Thisbe and Mark were friendly and informative about the area.

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!

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.

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.

Amazing view and lap pool right outside the room. Flo was very helpful with transportation. Room was perfect, minimal yet with all the necessities including small refrigerator for wine and water.

It's a bit complex to get to the place. Uber drivers got lost couple of times. You need a car in order to be able to move without depending on Uber

The place is awesome. We had a lovely time enjoying the pool and the breathtaking view.

Be patient - it is worth the slower pace as the couple who own this boutique hotel do almost everything themselves.

The views are magnificent out to the bay and the sunset. The breakfast, whether paying a little extra for items or what is provided, is most excellent. The little "extras" like high quality bathroom products, are a nice touch.
