“High quality, peaceful and intimate resort - with an excellent dive center”
We had a perfect stay in Pura Vida Beach and Dive Resort. The hotel is really pleasant, well decorated, perfectly maintained (special mention to the gardeners who keep the gardens and alleys neat and flowery) and all the staff provides a great service, always with a smile. We stayed in a Family room, combinaison of two adjacent rooms with two terrasses, which, though a bit small, fitted our needs. Excellent breakfast, proposing quality and fresh meals, with some variations everyday. Great catering and cocktails. And the cherry on the cake is definitely the dive center. We've never enjoyed such a great service on the boat and in the dive center to help us get equipped. The dive masters are very professional, providing good guidance in a relax atmosphere - special kudos to the dive masters Elina and Damron. Elina took care of the Junior Open Water certification for our 11 years old son, and he couldn't have had a better training and peaceful introduction to the magical world of diving. Elina is a perfect teacher, really patient and she handed our son all the keys to diving serenely. I'll remember the Sea Explorers' motto chanted by the great dive masters before each dive : "Dive with a smile" !

“Beautiful beach resort. Perfect spot for relaxation and diving”
Beautiful gardens, lovely rooms and resort with two pools with chilled pool bars. Dive shop on-site was great and friendly. The resort grounds are the best we’ve seen in over 2 weeks travelling. Staff friendly & short walk (700m) to main drag.

“Great stay at the beach”
The setting next to the beach (snorkeling always with turtles!) Is great, the rooms are nice and clean with covered veranda, good breakfast buffet, nothing to complain about.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice swimming pools..great for small children. Amazing garden. Exceptionaly good breakfast. The beach is just a few meters from the room (be aware, the sand is not white,but black and there are many stones).Very near to the main street where you can buy anything, have great massage or find a few good restaurants.

“Wonderful stay with great diving — a few improvements needed.”
The setting is beautiful, especially the charming bungalows in the lush northern gardens. The pool is clean, food is excellent (though pricey), and laundry service is fast and reliable. The dive center is a standout — special thanks to Dive Master Thoni, who made every dive smooth and enjoyable.
