Came to Pura Vida with high expectations and they didnt just meet our expectations they exceeded it! The warmness and efficiency of the staff, the great accomodations ( though you'll need a bug spray) love the tropical themed room with all the comforts of a hotel room minus the phone. The food was great great great loved the fajitas and... More

We spent a weekend here (coming from Singapore) and had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hotel is in a great location, clean rooms, very friendly staff, super organized dive center, accommodating services, delicious restaurant with a wide variety of dishes (home cooked too!), and the view around the grounds is great. Had a relaxing massage too! All in all, book... More

We sepend about 8 days in this resort. The bungalows were perfect, the personnel extremely friendly and the service outstanding. The restaurant food (à la carte) showed a large variety of dishes going from international cuisine to Philippino cuisine. I felt however that the breakfast buffet was not in line with overall quality of the location. (An improvement is certainly... More

We stayed over a week in a "standard room with aircon. We did not have any problems with Mosquitoes until we stopped using the mosquito net over the bed. Well I had problems after removing the mosquito net but they never bit my wife. A meal with a drink is about $10USD very reasonable but it is a couple of... More

Our overall stay (6 nights in "standard aircon" room) was fine. Just fine. Not incredible. Our main reason to choose this resort was because other resorts where fully booked, and because this resort had a big dive center. If we had to do it again, we would probably choose a cheaper place to stay, even if we had to walk... More

We have stayed in Dauin several times before, so this area is familiar to us. This was, however, the first stay at the Pura Vida resort. We stayed a week in the "Standard" room with aircon, which is a bamboo and coconut nipa hut. It is very well built and well finished, but has no view on the ocean at... More

IIt was great time! Really. I had chosen a dive resort in the Philippines long time. I had red through many reviews on many web sites, and choose the resort, and didn't make a mistake. The territory of the resort was well-groomed, our bungalow is made from bamboo wholly: from the roof to the floor (and the doors, and the... More

It's surprising how well service can completely change your view on a resort/hotel. In Pura-Vida the resort is nice and the dive facilities are brilliant but the "standards and policies" of the staff just completely disrupt your stay. It might sound stupid but ordering food and not being alowed to bring it to your room or getting your free breakfast... More

Quaint little resort with regional style accommodation & good choice of food & drinks. My first 2 days were spent on the beach but then a typhoon was predicted to go over Dauin. Staff were not alarmist about this weather development but did take a few precautions with beach furniture. Thankfully, my room had a TV so I could stay... More
