All bathrooms are tiled and feature hot & cold shower for your convenience.
We stayed 8 nights at Pura Vida and it was great! The resort is small and cosy and the rooms are nice, clean, and spacious and had everything we needed. There is also a well-equipped gym available for the guests. We stayed in a deluxe room close to the pool and we were able to get internet access in our rooms. However, internet is quite unreliable but that seems to be a fact in most places. What made Pura Vida special was the staff, they were wonderful, greeting us every day with friendly smiles and warm hospitality. We can absolutely recommend Pura Vida if you are looking for a relaxed vacation and it is perfect if you are a diver. Sea Explorers is located on the resort and their staff is professional, helpful and also very friendly. We had some great dive trips with them! This was our first visit to the Philippines and we couldn't have gotten a better "first impression"!
