Layout of Casitas, Restaurant and Garden

Well appointed private casitas near San Jose (SJO) airport

Garden, Reception Area and Orchid Restaurant

The Pura Vida Hotel is a colonial style former coffee finca. There is a main house/reception (Casa) and the rest of the hotel is "in the gardens". Our gardens have a nice view to Poas Volcano. If you want to go to Poas today, you can tell what the visibility will be like from your Casita or the restaurant area. We have 4 free standing Casitas, a studio and a room in the main Casa set in a secret garden overlooking the Rio Itiquis valley below.

We think this is the best place to start or end your marvelous journey to Costa Rica.
