The villa was good for all five of us. There was only one bathroom though for all of us. We had to request to cover one area because there was no curtain. The food was okay but needs tweaking. For the price of the villa, we expected better food. But the staff, everyone was so nice and friendly that we forgot the cons of this place. We love them all especially Dario! Dario made our restaurant experience even better. I wish they would wake the beach so we don’t have to all through rocks to the beach.

This August was our fourth visit to Pura Vida and it was awry to be back again. The staff were brilliant and so friendly and welcoming. Some of them we know from previous visits and some new top…Jessie in the kit store, MJ in the restaurant, Garry on the boat crew, Damon, Jan-Jan, Gio, Eric Carlos, Dianna, Clarissa, Elvira, Ella, the dive shop team, Kevin, the cleaning staff etc etc. They all made us feel well looked after and the service and care was outstanding. The diving here is awesome. The guides and boat crew are highly competent and take an amazing amount of care to give guests the best possible experience. The dive operation is every bit deserving of the high level rating it receives. The new restaurant isn’t as intimate as the divers bar but the food is great and has really improved. The kitchen was happy to modify choices to accommodate my wife’s vegetarian diet. As my only slight criticism it would be great to see more simple and fresh barbecued fish. Our room, right on the beach, faced the stunning sunrise and just a few metres from the sea. Idyllic. Quiet and calm. We’ve had a fantastic time. Planning to come for Christmas 2024.…

Pura Vida is a beautiful property perfectly set up for a dive vacation. Rooms are comfortable and steps from the on-site dive operator Sea Explorers. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good and not expensive when compared to home or other destinations we have been to. Would highly recommend.

Great resort, second visit (2017 & 23), resort has grown a little with the addition of new pool and bar area along with larger restaurant. Service and staff still very good, helpful and friendly. Room particularly spacious, comfortable shower area excellent Food choice excellent, buffet breakfast works well particularly for morning dives Happy hour at the old beach bar still there and well appreciated ! Muck diving (small stuff) isn't for everyone, but the dive guides work well to spot the unusual, trip out to Apo Island worth going, but visibility down a little on last visit (currents time of year etc) Thank you for another great week

the stay at Pura Vida was amazing. Large, clean rooms with a cozy veranda, super warm and extremely friendly staff! The food was delicious too, we would come back anytime. Never has a dive center been so close and super professional.

I can only recommend a stay at the Pura Vida resort. The resort ist beautiful, tidy and clean and the rooms are vey nice and also very clean. The people are very friendly and helpful if you have any questions/needs. The pools are nice to chill out after diving and have a drink (there is a bar in the water) or you can also lounge in the sun loungers by the beach. The food is alright, its good, but after a couple of times we decided to check out the local restaurants as well. Ask the servants for recommendations, they will always help you with anything. THe buffet in the morning is good (pancakes, eggs, meats, fruit and some vegetables). The diving is very good, the instructors are all so so nice and helpful and always in a good mood. Our instructor marlene especially was really nice, she is fun and competent and still patient and relaxed which helped a beginner like me a lot. The dive sites were very beautiful with lots of different fish, turtles and nudibranch.…

Stayed in February 2023 for 5 nights. Excellent experience from beginning to end. They organized my transfer from the airport and the reception staff was extremely friendly and professional. The room had everything you would need and as advertised. The free breakfast buffet was different each day and the food always fresh and tasty... especially the fresh fruit! The dining area is practically on the beach so you can have your meals with an ocean view. Spent the next few days diving. The dive shop is on premises and the staff was amazing. All gear was waiting on the boat before departure and the crew took care of everything including changing tanks between dives. If you're into muck diving these dives are supposed to be some of the best in the Philippines. If you enjoy reef diving, the Apo Island trip is a must. Some of the best, most vibrant, reefs I've seen.…

We dove with Pura Vida Divers. The staff and crew were wonderful, friendly, and very helpful. They helped us find and photograph some amazing sea creatures. We loved our 4 days of diving with this exceptional bunch of dive professionals.

We were a group who booked 20 rooms for 3 days. The room and food were very good. The location is beautiful with the manicured gardens. The people very friendly. Dauin was a pleasant surprise - great place to visit. Pura Vida is the place to stay in as it exceeds all expectations. From the start of the planning months prior to when we actually arrived til we left. Ana from Pura Vida was excellent in all ways. i highly recommend Pura Vida.
