I cherished my time at Guest House Pura Vida, where Jorge and Pamela welcomed me like family. The communal kitchen was immaculate, and the scenic balcony offered breathtaking mountain views. I also enjoyed delightful interactions with fellow travelers, enriching my stay.

Road to the guest house was uneven.

Clean, comfortable room with great AC. Close proximity to Manuel Antonio's beaches makes it an ideal base.

The ground floor noise is a bit much, with footsteps from above and some late-night commotion. Additionally, neighboring roosters and dogs contribute to an irregular symphony of sounds at night.

A Perfect Getaway with Gracious Hosts

Jorge and Pamela made my stay unforgettable with their helpful tips on hidden gems nearby. The tranquil atmosphere and beautiful garden view added serenity. Enjoying coffee by the river while listening to the water was magical. Definitely take the scenic walk to town!

The garden view from the common area was stunning. However, you need a car for easy access into Quepos.

Amazing views and hosts

Couple Perfect Escape

Jorge and his wife were so helpful. They really took the time to chat and made us feel welcome! The open kitchen was such a nice touch, fresh coffee every morning and fruits to start the day right! ! We were even able to stay an extra day because we were enjoying it that much.

It wasn’t expensive, but still a bit on the higher side.

We had a fantastic time visiting some stunning beaches nearby, which were only a short bus ride away. The place had plenty of helpful tips from the hosts, allowing us to explore lesser-known spots that really made our family holiday special. Plus, the coffee was a bonus every morning!

My kids wished for a bit more space in the common areas.

Jorge and Pamela truly went above and beyond. offering helpful rides into town when they could. The breakfasts were delicious, and the outdoor dining area created a lovely atmosphere to enjoy them!

While the setting was serene, some noise from neighboring dogs and chickens could be heard at night.

the room was a bit noisy at night, but the atmosphere was so welcoming. the fresh fruit upon arrival was a nice touch, and the shared kitchen was super well maintained. also loved the owner’s pride in his place.

It was a great match for a quick weekend visit in Quepos with good value for money. I loved having morning coffee while enjoying the beautiful views from the peaceful balcony. Take a short bus ride to Manuel Antonio for stunning beaches nearby.

Jorge and Pamela created a warm atmosphere, always engaging with guests and making me feel at home. The kitchen was spotless and well-equipped—it was a joy cooking and sharing meals with fellow travelers. However, the location was a bit tricky to find, and some noise from nearby roosters at night disrupted sleep. Overall, a memorable experience with welcoming hosts that enhanced my journey.

The Budget Triple Room was super comfy with clean beds and great AC. It was noisy at night though since we were on the ground floor, heard footsteps above and roosters crowing outside. But the shared kitchen and lounge were really nice for hanging out with other travelers.

Staying at this guesthouse was a delightful experience as I enjoyed short scenic walks to Playa Espadilla Sur and the charming Marina Pez Vela, both just around 2 km away, making it easy to soak in the local vibe and nature. I truly appreciated how helpful Jorge and Pamela were, providing amazing tips on local attractions that made this stay feel personalized and memorable.

Couple's Oasis

Staying here was like a breath of fresh air in our travels. We had many easy and warm interactions with other guests, which made the communal area feel like a cozy home base, not just a hotel. Plus, I can't forget how there was a tree where macaws would visit, making mornings feel magical.

It wasn't the most budget-friendly, but it was worth every penny.
