Pura Vida Residence

Fodor's Review:

An affordable, unusually upscale base for exploring the area, this Italian-built and -managed hilltop residence overlooks Playa Copal, the premier beach for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Studio rooms are in a modern residence. Fully equipped villas are perfect for groups. High ceilings, lots of cool stone, tile, and huge windows to catch the winds off the bay help you keep your cool despite the lack of air-conditioning in the rooms and some of the villas.
