Pura Vida Beach & Dive Resort Restaurant and Bar

The place was easy to reach with the car. in contrast to other resorts in dauin street is unorderly. eating if they want to stay for more than 2 days, they will get bored with their selection of food. we have found this place, as we expect to have breakfast. rooms they can practically hear their neighboring conversation. and unfortunately we have one night with children who weep and weep. not ideal for lovers

The resort is beautiful, beautiful swimming pool. the restaurant closes around 20 o'clock, which is very early. eating is good, but small portions. only continental breakfast is included, also for a hot chocolate instead of coffee they have to pay extra. the bar closes at 9 o'clock, which is very early. beach has dark sand, not too clean.

The resort was very good, very clean. beach not so. hard to enter and leave by kieseln. pools are well maintained and gardens very well maintained. the personal is excellent. kind and friendly and always striving to commit to each request. as she for a beautiful 4 days

Ask for jude, he's a superstar diver. he is not only a good driver, but his personality is worth a million dollars. the rooms are good, the beds are single beds, and quite hard, but liveable. the restaurant is great and serves both western feed and local feed. the personal could not be better.

Absolutely enjoyed our recent stay at Vida Homes ! We booked Villa 3, and it was such an enjoyable weekend. Would love to come back~ Location: Pura Vida/Vida Homes is located within the town proper, but by the seaside. It’s easy enough to spot (in the evenings they have a lit up sign by the highway . The resort is spacious (owing to it having 2 variations, the more public resort, and the more private villa homes and rooms . Despite being in the town proper, the area is quite quiet and secluded, which gives it an excellent relaxing feel. Rooms: Villa 3 is one of the newest villa additions so everything inside is new. Private carport (fits 1 , spacious living room area, big kitchen with island and huge fridge and ample cooking space, 2 bedrooms (1 master and 1 twin . And its own private pool. Villa Amenities: Loved the bathroom, which was spacious. Shower and rack heights are fitted for tall people but it’s not such a big issue. Hot water available throughout the day. Kitchen is available for cooking (if you bring your own things , but didn’t get to try this out as we didn’t plan to cook. Cooking pans, chopping boards, and cutlery are available in the drawers for free use. Fridge had more than ample space, with a ref and freezer area. They also had an oven, induction stove, and hot water kettle. A large drying rack is right by the sink for easy drying. Airconditioning is available in each room, plus the living room. TVs are in both rooms, with access to some channels like CNN. Beds (toppers were a little hard (probably since they haven’t been used so much and I tossed and turned for the first night. It was much better during the second night. There are also a lot of light switches throughout the villa, and they aren’t labelled or positioned in places that always make sense, so we often had to go around looking for which lights light up which areas (both inside the house and by the patio/pool . Resort Amenities: Aside from our private pool, Vida Homes has 2 more pools (one lap pool which is somewhat deep, and the main pool which has an attached pool bar . By the restaurant is another pool, as well as a billiards area. Food: You can order food at the restaurant, or have them served at the villa (except for breakfast . Food was quite good, I especially liked the salmon served with pesto and cheese. Pizza was also delicious, and with big servings. Service: Par Excellence. From the moment we arrived, to checking out, I found the service to be highly excellent. Staff, whether they were on the grounds or coming to the villa, were always friendly and easy to talk to. The owner(? would always give us a friendly greet when she saw us on the grounds, or when we were having breakfast. Price: As it’s currently Covid, the resort has promo prices which make it more affordable to stay in compared to pre-Covid. The resort prices cater more to tourists and foreigners, which is reflected by the high quality rooms and amenities. Prices are probably still a little on the high side for many locals, but it’s definitely worth the price if you’re looking for a great place to Staycation since traveling outside is still very limited. I highly recommend staying at Vida Homes if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing home away from home.
