Guest Reviews

• Sebastian Modus (10/5): - Sehr saubere Zimmer und vor allem der Ganze Garten mit allem was dazugehört ist wirklich toll. Incl Hausschwein
• Lazorko (10/5): Great location! Amazing host! Perfect accommodations to make you feel at home! - The property was “jungle” like with many trees and foliage. A peaceful and tranquil feel to it despite noise from the road. The accommodations were great with a super comfortable bed! Perfect location as walkable to the beach and to the restaurants. The pig and dogs were added bonuses! We loved that we were centrally located to Tamarindo and Playas del Coco. The host was a great communicator and had a really genuine personality! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! 🌴 Being in a small village there was quite a bit a noise from traffic on the secondary road.
• Garita (9/5): -
• Oscar (10/5): Espacio fresco y verde - El entorno verde Nada
• Bringebøen (10/5): -
• Natalia (10/5): - Instalaciones, petfriendly
• Christiane (5/5): Schöner Harten mit großem Hausschwein - Hübscher Garten Der hübsche Garten ist bevölkert von einem Schwein und 4 Hunden (letztere sehr unauffällig). Wegen des Schweins ist es schwierig den Harten zum Essen zu nutzen, besonders Mango. Außerdem muss man alles zusammen machen, wenn man gemeinsam ein Studio nutzt, da es nur einen Schlüssel gibt.
• Jill (10/5): -
• ROBERT (8/5): - breakfast was excellent
• Alejandra (6/5): -
• Marcello (9/5): Pura Vibra….Pura Vida!🇨🇷🙌spero di tornare!!! - Praticamente un pezzo di giungla in “casa”Pablo e Giulia perfetti padrini di casa….. discreti,disponibili , ma le poche “dritte” richieste ?? Centrate in pieno.Grazie♥️😎🥴 migliorabile l’interior delle stanze!🥴
• Thomas (9/5): Really enjoyed the place! Great value for the money! - The privacy the pool area was awesome! The friendliness of the owner! Having to put toilet paper in the trash. (But I understand because of poor septic systems)
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Jane (10/5): Fantastic stay, would come again, beautiful spot - Beautiful place, great territory, small-ish but pleasant pool, lovely people. The outdoor shower in the bungalow was top-notch, and in general, the place was awesome. On a smaller street but close to the center, five min walk to the beach. Two coffee spots within 2 min. Can't think of anything.
• Laila Wang (9/5): Veldig fornøyd med oppholdet,kommer til å anbefale stedet . - Fin leilighet og vakker hage. Ikke helt ok at grisen gikk i poolen.
• Andrew (10/5): - Villa Pura Vibra was wonderful - even more so than we expected! It was close to the beach, restaurants, cafes. The pool was great to spend time during the hottest part of the day (and in the warm evenings). And it was great to have howler monkeys living in the trees above our room!
• Dominique (10/5): -
• Thierry (10/5): Séjour magnifique 🤩 au sein de Villas Pura Vibra - Magnifique séjour chez Pablo à Villas Pura Vibra. Un cadre enchanteur, avec de nombreux oiseaux et de nombreux singes 🙈 le matin au petit déjeuner. Le cochon 🐖 Jamy vit sa vie dans la propriété et c’est sympa de le voir se balader. Pablo est de très bon conseil. Magnifiques plages à proximité Penca, Prieta et Conchal top ! Rien
• Nélia (10/5): -
• Roger (10/5): Great great great - Nature and the pig Nothing
• Thierry (10/5): Exceptionnel séjour au sein de Villas Pura Vibra 👍 - Magnifique séjour au sein de Villas Pura Vibra. Pablo est un hôte très sympa et de bon conseil. Propriété magnifique avec piscine et dans une forêt tropicale. Réveillé le matin par les singes et les oiseaux. Au top ! Rien
• Ernest (10/5): I felt like I was far away even though I was just steps away from the heart of Potrero - Outstanding place to completely relax There was nothing not to like
• Webb (6/5): -
• Václav (8/5): -
• Seneyda (10/5): - La cercanía con los bares y restaurantes, además de la excelente atención del personal. Faltó un buen café
• J G (10/5): We loved our comfy stay at this little oasis - perfectly located just outside the hustle n bustle! - We loved our stay and wished we could have stayed an extra night! Very comfy room, lovely staff and appreciated accommodations made by management to enhance our stay. Had a lovely warm, welcome from Jammin' the resident biggie and tour guide doggies. Guests staying at the same time were also lovely people! Beautiful grounds and private patio with hammock. Room was very comfortable and we appreciated the freezer to set up up for our road trip the next day. Bed was super comfortable with perfectly soft and not overstuffed pillows! A rarity. AC worked perfectly and nice bathroom, shower and fluffy soft towels. Thanks so much Julia and staff, we'd visit again if in the area. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the road and nearby intersection during the daytime. This wasn't an issue at night though and we both slept like logs!
• Stephen (9/5): A hidden paradise. - What a wonderful place to stay, the host is very friendly and welcoming, Huge breakfast kept me going all day .
• Laura (9/5): - L’ambiente esterno alle camere é molto bello, la posizione molto comoda per vedere le spiagge che ci sono intorno. Julia e Pablo molto disponibili e accoglienti!
• Felipe (9/5): agradable sorpresa - El cerdito y las piedras talladas
• Elvira (10/5): Pure joy - This place is so nice that you actually don’t want to go anywhere, but just relax by the pool and look for the pig‘s next appearance.
• Kevin Kelly (8/5): - For the price it was excellent !! I was very happy.
• Jordan (10/5): - The peaceful environment and yummy, generous breakfast. Tgat we had to peave:(
• Doug (9/5): -
• Vale (10/5): -
• Jordan (10/5): The Vibras Are Real - There's so much to say about what we loved about this property. First, the hosts were incredibly accommodating. We didn't plan to arrive early, but got to the property about 45 minutes before check-in time, and they gave us access. We also requested late checkout, as it was our last day in Costa Rica and our flight didn't leave until 7 pm, and the hosts accommodated our request for a small fee. The overall feel of the property was so tranquil, and the common spaces were beautiful and very clean. The staff worked each morning to maintain the property, pool, and pathways. Also, the optional breakfast, with three choices, was great and reasonably priced! Finally, the property is super walkable, @ 1 km to the beach and less than that for many of the great restaurants in Potrero. A small thing...the room was a bit dark, without much natural light, but there were several lamps and an overhead light to make up for it;o)
• Stephanie (9/5): -
• Inka (9/5): Wonderful place to chill, responsive human hosts, and excellent animal hosts - We loved the well established garden areas, the front patio with hammock and laundry rack at our villa, and the pool lounge areas. We also enjoyed watching all the animals! The kitchen was functional, but not the most well-equipped.
• Lindig (10/5): Wonderful staff, facility, location, price. Loved it all! Would definitely stay here again. - The location was perfect! We loved everything about it - staff, facilities, domestic and wild animals, heard, and most mornings, saw howler monkeys! Loved the dogs and potbellied pig we named Miss Piggy. Per Pablo's instructions, we didn't feed or pet her and didn't leave food on our porch. The dogs were friendly and loved having them around to pet and enjoy. So peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. Good price for a studio. Beach within walking distance, a huge plus! Restaurants, coffee shops, and market within walking distance. Wouldn't change a thing!
• Carmen (10/5): - Die Anlage iat super schön angelegt. Perfekt gelegen und das Personal war freundlich und sehr felxibel.
• Santa (9/5): -
• Arturo (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación y anfitriones.
• LUIS GOLDONI (9/5): - Buena atención al cliente y precio cómodo No habían paños en la habitación a la hora del ingreso.
• Madeleine (10/5): - Amazing property nestled in the trees with very spacious, clean, and cozy villas. We especially loved the very cool open air shower! Walking distance to restaurants and the beach, nice hosts and beautiful property. Would recommend if you are in Potrero! Nothing!
• Eric (8/5): -
• Thayvid (9/5): Bastante verde e com animais porém sem campainha pra chamar na chegada - Quarto grande. Parece uma mini casinha com geladeira e pia. Animais que vivem no jardim Para chegar desde a rua principal precisa pegar uma rua de barro cheia de buracos. São quase 150 metros muito ruim. Eles nao possuim campainha e se vc nao tiver Internet ficaria na mão. Eles explicam via mensagem e repassam a senha por se acaso chegam e se dam conta, mas no meu caso eu fiz a reserva e logo peguei o carro e na estrada estava sem Internet por sorte meu amigo tinha um chip local e conseguiu ligar. Acho que nao custa nada ter uma campainha
• Abel (7/5): -
• Maria Lilliana (7/5): Angenehm viel zu kurz - Die Ruhe Poca agua en la ducha
• Rafael (10/5): - Quarto amplo, com bastante funcionalidades na visao de custo beneficio. Os atendentes foram bem atenciosos e solicitos.
• Cristina (8/5): -
• A. (8/5): -
• Diana (9/5): - Tranquilidad Nada todo estuvo bien
• Konstantina (10/5): -
• Alexis (9/5): -
• franck (10/5): -
• quentin (9/5): Endroit sympa et agréable - Le jardin est magnifique La piscine est belle et agréable Les hôtes sont très gentils et accueillant avec de bons conseils La clim de la chambre n•4 fait du bruit
• Eduardo Zamora (9/5): Booked one night, ended up staying two. Would've stayed longer but I ran out of time... - Excellent location, with a lot of dining and entertainment options within walking distance; owners were super friendly and welcoming; great staff! N/A. Definitely, I would come back when in Potrero, Flamingo or nearby beaches...
• Marillan (9/5): - Es un lugar precioso, lo único malo es que hay demasiado zancudo. Pero después de ahí, mi familia disfrutó muchísimo la estadía. Volveremos pronto. La cantidad de zancudos
• Daniel (10/5): Great place to stay! - Beautiful location, friendly staff
• Jill (9/5): Superb - Enjoyed the location and amenities but it's the owners and staff that make this a wonderful place to stay.
• Mclaughlin (6/5): Pleasant -
• Eliana (10/5): Exceptional - The cabins were great. So cleaned and looked after. The host was amazing, very friendly, and helped us with recommendations of places to check around the area. The accommodation is not far from Playa Potrero (stunning beach and area). We were near all the restaurants but the hotel was hidden in nature. We loved absolutely everything about this place. Many thanks for everything 😊 🙏 Nothing. Everything was great.
• Robert (10/5): A hidden gem in Playa Protero - What a find! Instead of paying $236 for a room on a hotel on the beach which is a just a straight shot down from this little wonderful boutique place that I stayed in why not pay about $130 less and put that money towards food and drinks and have a better experience. A French Couple runs this place- it's basically a couple of two bedroom and a couple of one bedroom rooms in a beautiful garden behind a gate with a just perfect swimming pool a little bar -palapas- everything is done just right -the trees, the plants, the cement tile blocks on the gravel walkway so you don't have to drag your luggage over gravel- the appointments in the room, the instructions in Spanish and English- every single thing that you want is thought of- perhaps it's their French influence. I was inexplicably the only person on the whole property and it was just perfect- they made me breakfast in the morning with fresh fruit, eggs, toast, pastries fresh coffee- I can't recommend this place highly enough Nothing
• Avila (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laurie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Colin (10/5): Magical, natural and luxurious. - Gorgeous grounds, peaceful and great location.
• Kay (8/5): Friendly staff nice oasis in the centre of town - Great overnight stay
• Lemus (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (10/5): Loved this place!! - Loved everything, no kidding. I have stayed in many properties in Panama & Costa Rica, and this is my fave. It’s well taken care of, clean and safe. The owners are incredibly nice. The grounds are well taken care of. All is very clean. The location is conveniently a short distance down the road from restaurants, the grocery store, and the beach. (The mercado has an ATM that is in English and Spanish, if English directions are needed.) The pig, 3 dogs, and the monkeys, squirrels and lizards/iguanas make for constant entertainment. Really enjoyed the stay, hope to return one day. No one can help this, but the street noise can be loud.
• Katie (9/5): Authentic - We stayed in one of the deluxe bungalows. It was really spacious, good air con and an authentic open air bathroom. Nice seating area outside too. We don’t spend much time at the property given the great beaches nearby but it was attractive with wildlife and friendly animals. The hosts gave us lots of information on where to eat, which beaches to visit etc. It’s next to a noisy road but nothing the property can do about that.
• Christina (10/5): I loved it here! Rooms were clean and comfortable, grounds were tranquil, was located close to beach and shops/resta - The grounds were well kept, and peaceful. There were 3 pups and one pig (hola Jamming). The pool was nice and clean and easily accessible. Room was clean and had everything I needed for a week’s stay. WiFi could have been a little stronger, but was still able to work.
• Krista (10/5): Beautiful stay at a peaceful locale. - The property is beautiful and peaceful. It is quiet (except for some construction next door) and the pig is super cute. The pool has both shaded and sunny areas to lie down. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was really tasty. The owners Julia & Pablo are exceptionally kind and accommodating. Just the construction sounds from nearby, but they had no control over that. The casita where I stayed had some open air in the bathroom area near the ceiling, which I liked. It didn’t affect the bedroom AC at all, but there were some bugs that could get in. It was a beautiful hut like room. I didn’t get mosquito bites or anything like that.
• Ralph (8/5): Our one day stay was really enjoyable, cooling off in the small clean swimming pool and hearing howler monkeys nearby wh - Julia is an energetic, well organized and very hospitable hostess. Their small property setting is really lovely. As an extra, Julia and Pablo served a delicious breakfast right on our unit’s patio. Located next to a road with noisy motorbikes
• Cayley (10/5): Wonderful property - Me and my husband enjoyed our stay, the grounds are beautiful and it was close to everything in town. We loved the pig and the dogs.
• Jabari (9/5): Superb -
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emilie (10/5): Beautiful property! - The property was beautiful. Lovely pool area. The breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff and animals. The location was also great, as there were several restaurants and a beach within walking distance.
• Robyn (10/5): Loved this place!! - Everything was fantastic! Great place to stay. The pool area is stunning. The dogs and pigs are a great little treat to a stay. Loved seeing the howler monkeys on the property. A double bed was alright, but having a king would make the stay even more comfortable.
• Sandra (9/5): A right outside of town jungle experience - Property was in an excellent location for walking to many restaurants. At the same time it offered great privacy.
• Kim (8/5): Great! - Nice place close to everything, would go back.
• Adrian (10/5): Would stay again - Beautiful villas, comfortable and great location Only the main light faucet of the room was not working properly.
• Viorica (9/5): Beautiful modern villas surrounded by a well maintained lush jungle garden - Beautiful modern villas surrounded by a well maintained lush jungle garden , close to the beach & restaurants. Julia & Pablo are helping you with everything you might need, from tours to all the information about the area. We stayed in the piggy villa and the friendly pig came to visit us a lot 🐷
• Tutiya (9/5): Superb - Perfect.
• Debra (9/5): Superb -
• Earl (10/5): There is no question that I would stay here again and recommend to my friends. - Absolutely love this property and the lushness it provides. Very quiet, calm and peaceful. Actually, nothing
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anita (8/5): I would definitely book another stay here. - Very cool tropical landscaping inside gated ‘compound’ with concrete pathways to stay out of mud. Secure parking. Although very close to restaurants and beaches, felt uncomfortable to walk the last two or three blocks in the dark, as a solo female. Might recommend a scooter or cart rental only for that reason.
• Nico (10/5): Stay here! It is cozy, excellent location near restaurants and the beach, and feels luxurious. - Beautiful pool, wonderful hosts, spacious lodging
• Nina (9/5): Superb -
• Marge (10/5): The best choice for all nature lovers - The bungalow was the most amazing place to stay. The owners were very pleasant and accommodating. The best choice for all nature lovers.
• Sapan (9/5): Beautiful setting close to attractions with great hosts - Amazing forested setting with great and very caring hosts. There was a slight issue in the villa and they went all out to rectify the issue. Also served us great homemade breakfast with a lot of smiles. Aircon worked perfectly. Rooms good size. They gave great local recommendations. Highly recommended for the hosts customer service. An electric kettle would be great but I do understand Costa Ricans prefer their coffee.
• Kok (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful lush landscaping with clean cabina, great location (quiet and private but super close to beach and restaurants) loved the outdoor space with a hammock, kitchen was cute with a large refrigerator couldn't get the tv to work very well....cable was snowy and smart tv functions didn't seem to work, but didn't call staff for help because for us wasn't a big deal
• Alan (10/5): Really nice peaceful place good for anyone, nice bars and restaurants, and close to the beach - I thought that everything at Pura Vibra was simply awesome! Very nice comfortable rooms, I felt safe, the pool area is really nice and tranquil, and the pig was so cool! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that my vacation was over and I had to leave! ☺️😁😎
• Allan (9/5): Enjoyed - Cute and quite room close to town. Bathroom is a little rustic.
• Peter (8/5): Relaxed and well maintained “bungalow”. - Very relaxed, very well maintained “bungalow” (we had the “luxury” version, but it only was a little bit more expensive than the regular ones…). It’s still a very PURA VIDA place, that’s great. Costa Rican cabinas were like this until most areas of the country sold their soul to the international tourism industry…
• Eric (9/5): Superb -
• Rok (9/5): Superb -
• Ivonne (10/5): Excellent place to stay in Playa Potrero - Very professional, friendly, clean. Location is excellent, close enough to the beach and to many places to eat.
• Jose (9/5): Superb - The nature around this place and its surrounding landscape is awesome Nothing really
• Macdonald (8/5): Very good -
• Brenda (6/5): Just ok. I would suggested booking o r night first to see how you like it before booking more. - Location was within walking distance to the beach and to many restaurants and stores. It was very quiet. Almost too quiet. No other quests or staff to talk too. Pool was just ok. Make sure to bring your mosquito net. The bathroom is outside and basically just separated by a sliding door.
