We loved Casa Pura Vida. It was spacious, clean, and a fun setting for a tropical vacation. The yard had a wonderful outdoor covered patio with a brick oven, grill, chairs and table, a pool with lounge chairs, and volleyball court. The problem was the mosquitoes were so bad that we spent very little time in the yard. The appliances all worked well, and it had plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. The air conditioning in the bedrooms made sleeping much more comfortable. The only other drawback is that the house is about 3 miles south of town, and about 2 miles of that is a dirt road with many ruts and potholes. Consequently, a golf cart rental is must, and you have to plan ahead when you go into town because it is not convenient to travel back and forth to the house and town. Overall we had a great experience in Casa Pura Vida. Sylvia, the property manager, was very helpful with arranging transportation and other activities.
