next to the Pool was always Cold. Which I later discovered was due to them not having a Heater for it. If they address these two concerns the Resort would get 5 stars all round from me."

"Immediate area around the hotel is good, beach is formed of rocks so sea swimming off the beach is a no go.
If checking in early evening be prepared for a rushed check-in and then the place to close down.
We decided to gave a massage before we left, not a bad price and a good massage, only problem is no massage table only beds, not bad for us but for the therapist I'm not so sure.
Overall I think they are overpriced for what's on offer."

"Had a great stay. Very reasonable rates. Staff is exceptionally nice. Had a massage everyday and it was wonderful. Water pressure is strong and has very hot water for the showers. Breakfast selections were good. I like that we had the option to add to the continental breakfast. I kinda wished there was a coffee kettle in the room though. Breakfast was not open until 7am so it would have been nice to drink a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise at 5am.

"It was a very nice place to stay out side of the city. Veiws are beautiful easy access to the ocean. Down side pool needs to be open later then 7:30 because of location there not much to do once it gets dark. I would definitely stay there again. "

"It was a nice stay!
The property is nice, yet very secluded. The offerings are good and bar/pool areas are an extra welcomed addition. The staff were very friendly and the food was very good.
Its a nice quiet get a way spot. I will definitely return when in the area again. "

"We had a great three nights at Pura Vida. Beautiful property with perfectly manucured gardens and excellent accommodations. The buffet breakfast was lovely with a different theme everyday. The resort is a short walk to a marine sanctuary that had some of the best snorkeling we've done in the Philippines. Highly recommended this resort. Wonderful helpful staff as well."

"It's a secret garden! Beautiful grounds, super friendly and cheerful staff. Amazing pizza and other foods. Fun pool bar. And it's hard to tell from the ad, but it's got a real nice Sandy beach also! Ps. I don't know what their mattresses are called, but they are thick and dense and render a great night's sleep!"

"Had a great time lounging by the pool and swimming up to the pool bar. The room was very nice and so was the staff. They helped us get motor bikes for the time we were there and had on-site laundry service. However, the mixed drinks at the bar all came in tiny martini glasses and were not very good. They had a tough time making any good drinks, so I stuck with drinking the only brand of beer they had instock. The food there was not very good either, which was a shame, since the dining area was...

"We rented a private villa for our family’s get together. It was clean and well kept. We had a private pool and it was perfect for us to enjoy the perks of a resort with the privacy we needed as a family. "

"Had a lovely stay here. The staff are great and they go above and beyond to make you feel special and looked after. From friendly gardeners, to smiling restaurant staff, to cheery bar staff, and exceptional dive staff who work all work incredibly hard. Diving was great and so flexible for whatever suits the guest. Really enjoyed our stay- oh and the massage was the best I have had!"

"We had a great stay here. The view from the bungalow is beautiful and we loved hanging out on the hammocks. The beach is not much to hang out on anywhere in the area so it is nice to have a lounge area to look at the water. We loved spending time with Joseph the employee (I forgot his filipino name) I hope he gets a raise he is a hard worker and very funny and helpful. The price for food is the same in the whole area so we found it reasonable. We rented a motorbike a full day is 5am to 6pm for...

"Each room looks out to the ocean. The beds are king sized. The staff was super friendly and helpful at cooking adventures for us. The food in the restaurant at the hotel is made fresh and has local and international options. The pool is clean. The hotel sits on a reef with tide pools. We would love to come back and stay again"
