We stayed in one of the cabins which was nicer than I expected having been warned by friends that rooms are pretty bare bones, however the bare floors were VERY dirty, I had to wash my feet before bed and the shower was litterally almost painful! There was a bottle of wine in the room but no note indicating the... more

Recently I created my first retreat. Finding the right place - with the massive amounts of unknowns kept me away from doing this daunting task for years. Until I found Pura Vida USA. They made all the problems go away and walked me through each step with kindness that I could not imagine! And the space itself ... ! The... more

I had the pleasure of leading my third yoga retreat at Pura Vida this past weekend. My group of 41 took up the entire wellness center. All of us were so very pleased with the kindness and genourisity of the manager and her fabulous staff. They could not do enough for us. ..from offering to pick us up anything we... more

Pura Vida is in a great location and has the makings of a great B&B, hotel, yoga camp, or spa. But, it needs to decide which it wants to be. Right now, it’s closer to a summer camp for yoga lovers. Since yoga to us is an activity, not a lifestyle, we were not impressed. We were looking for a... more

My husband and I went away for a long weekend to celebrate his birthday and it was wonderful. We left the laptops behind and were happy to see there was NO TV in our room. The staff was friendly and very accomodating. They even planned a special surprise with me for his birthday dinner. The spa treatment was great. The... more

Simple accomodations for a wellness resort/B&B. Stayed in the farmhouse. The room was plain. 2 twin beds pushed together to make a king. Beds were hard. No bath tub. Breakfast was good and offered healthy selection. Grounds are beautiful. Would liked to have taken opportunity to use the facilities. Need to spend more than one night to appreciate. Great location... more

The location of the hotel couldn't have been more beautiful, but there were certain amenities that were lacking. The first thing you notice when you drive up is the giant sign posted on the deck overlooking the lake "No Fishing Due to Stolen Pump." Who cares why there's no fishing. It's almost like they are accusing everyone who steps foot... more

The tips of my hair turned green, SERIOUSLY, green, after being in the hottub for 20 mins! I wrote the hotel several times to discuss, and they did not bother to return my emails. This is not a SPA--it is a hotel, with barely decent amenities. Don't expect SPA treatment--expect cheap little shampoo bottles, super thin toilet paper, and extremely... more

My husband and I found Pura Vida to be the relaxing, quiet, retreat we were hoping for. We purchased the Wellness package which included a room, breakfast, 2 spa services per person, and yoga classes. The entire facility was quite clean, the staff were friendly and helpful although none, outside the spa, seemed to be experienced professionals. The food was... more
