We are travelers, foodies and in my spare time I grow orchids - we are happy to share our travel experience in Costa Rica - we are usually on the road somewhere in the country exploring something new every few weeks.

The Pura Vida Hotel is the best entry and exit point for Costa Rica. On arrival we get you into the hotel with a free taxi service from SJO international flights. We can organize transport anywhere in the country by car rental or private vans and experienced local guides (free wifi on board). We are connected with similar excellent hotels (on site owners) around the country and can help you organize your trip. Ask us about your itinerary ideas - we travel in the country frequently and are very well informed about what works and what may not. If you have special ideas you'd like to try just ask us - email or phone. We have a special connection for car rentals with Toyota Rentacar - cars will be delivered to your breakfast table and you can drop them anywhere you like - email for more info. Our hotel has a commitment to good wholesome food - Nhi is a gourmet chef with Asian, French and Californian experience. We do not cook every night so make sure you book ahead. Our breakfasts (free with the casita) and dinners are some of the best in the country. Book with the Pura Vida if you want everything to go right on arrival and go easy on your early exit.
