We loved our stay at Pura Vida! If you are looking for somewhere quiet, comfortable and peaceful to unwind after a day of experiencing the colourful and vibrant attractions in Pai, Pura Vida is the perfect place to stay. The resort is situated about 5km outside of Pai. Noi collected us at the airport - we arranged in advance and she was spot on time! She is extremely helpful, got our rented scooter delivered to the resort and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Her recommendations regarding restaurants and interesting places to visit was very helpful. The rooms are lovely, very clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The aircon is modern and very efficient (and much needed!). The cottages are surrounded by a magificent tropical garden, with a large Khoi pond. The lay-out of the garden is such that even though the cottages are close to each other, privacy is not compromised in the least. Breakfast is simple and lovely. Noi makes lovely scrambled eggs, and I can definitely recommend the muesli and fruit breakfast option! Do not let the location out of town discourage you from staying at Pura Vida. The drive to and from Pai is lovely - the road runs through a small village, rice paddies, and lovely fields. It is especially beautiful if you happen to drive during sunset! Definitely rent a scooter or a car, it is the best way...We loved our stay at Pura Vida!
