The Wellness Center and Spa at Pura Vida is indeed the pure life! The resort is isolated and truly does separate you from the real world. You can access the internet and cell phone service is pretty good if you must stay connected. The massage and wellness therapists are world class and highly trained. Don't miss the Watsu massage.
