I had a mixed experience at the retreat. The serene location provided beautiful grounds and a lovely pool area, which were highlights for me. While the accommodations were clean and comfortable, the dining options were lackluster and didn't offer much variety. Though the staff was generally friendly and helpful, there were some issues with certain interactions. Overall, it was a relaxing stay, but I might explore other options on my next trip.

Pura Vida Retreat is a magical place that feels like paradise with its stunning gardens and warm hospitality. The food was outstanding, with clean and organic options that left no room for repetition. However, some aspects of the accommodation were concerning, particularly the discomfort and lack of privacy in the bathrooms. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for relaxation, but there are a few things that could really improve the experience.

My stay at Pura Vida Retreat was a mixed bag. On one hand, the dining options were delicious and varied, as I never experienced a repeat meal during my two weeks. The spa services were also fantastic, with effective and relaxing treatments. However, the accommodations were quite disappointing with issues such as bugs, poor upkeep, and uncomfortable conditions. Plus, the pressure for expensive spa services and excursions was frustrating. Overall, while there were some excellent aspects, the negatives left a lot to be desired.

My stay at Pura Vida Retreat was a mixed experience. While the location felt like paradise with beautiful landscapes and a serene atmosphere, the service fell short of expectations. The dining options were outstanding, and the rooms offered a comfortable stay despite needing updates. Overall, I left with a sense of peace but also some lingering frustrations regarding communication and overall professionalism.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While I really enjoyed the friendly staff and the lovely dining options, I found the accommodations to be less than ideal due to some maintenance issues. The ambiance was serene, but the manager's attitude was quite unwelcoming, which overshadowed some of the positives. Overall, it had its charm, but it also had some major drawbacks that would make me reconsider a return visit.
