Our stay in Pura Vida was incredible. We were welcomed by the owner of the resort, Vanda, a lovely person. The general staff was also extremely kind and helpful. The room was clean and the check in process was fast and smooth. As a digital nomad, I appreciated how fast the WiFi was. I would definitely stay here again.

The atmosphere is quiet. There is a fish pond to sit and watch comfortably.. Ms. Wanda The owner provides excellent service..located from the entertainment area, walking street, but has a quiet atmosphere and a very friendly price. There is enough parking and there are motorbikes and cars for rent as well. Importantly, the price is cheaper than renting elsewhere.

Home away from home. In Thai there is an expression "sai Jai" which means 'put heart'. This resort is a perfect example of that philosophy. Every guest amenity has been thought of. Lovely charming bungalows. No bugs. Comfy beds pillows and sheets. Even every individual tea bag is wrapped for you. Lovely grounds with fish ponds a nice feature when you walk around. If you need to recuperate somewhere quiet and comfortable, this is the place. Will be back.
