My experience at the Pura Vida pickleball retreat was outstanding. The accommodations were comprehensive, featuring a house, pool, golf carts, bikes, lounge chairs, sun umbrella, and more, providing everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. We also had access to two other beautiful hotels, pools, and beaches. Breakfast consisted of fresh, ripe fruit, followed by pickleball lessons and a healthy, delicious full breakfast upon our return. Dinner meals were exceptional, offering a diverse range of fresh and healthy options. Dining with our large group of 16 people each evening was a delight. The instruction we received was exceptional, with two coaches who accurately assessed our needs and provided expert guidance to help us progress. I could write extensively about the beauty, beaches, wildlife, food, people, and weather, but my experience was unequivocally five-star in every way. Mani and Sindy have thoughtfully considered every detail of this retreat, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Stellar retreat in every way.

My wife and I came here with 4 other friend couples a stayed at the Pura Vida House for a week. The hosts and staff were super friendly, attentive to our needs, flexible and gracious. Loved the pickleball play and excellent instruction. I was a beginner concerning strategy and came away with a great toolkit for improving my game back home. Loved having the golf carts for quick trips to the beach. There we enjoyed boogie boarding, watching talented surfers and just kicking back with a cold drink and a book. I’ve experienced the chillier Pacific along the Baja Peninsula, but the water temp here was just perfect and the beach clean. Thanks for a great experience Mani and Sindy! ❤️

Our Pickleball Vacation at Pura Vida far exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 17. The staff was great, very responsive to our needs. The food was plentiful and delicious. And of course, our coaches, Mani and Slylvan were exceptional!

The Pura Vida house vacation was the perfect vacation for our group. Our hosts, Sindy and Moni and their team were fabulous. Our group was large enough to occupy both the main house and the second across the small cul de sac. Both homes were fabulous and met or exceeded all expectations. The food exceeded our expectations, every meal was generous in portion and delicious. It was obvious that Mita was a graduate of culinary school and passionate about her art. Definitely high class restaurant quality. We were very well taken care of, everyone was wonderful. Their experience in planning and organization was apparent everywhere ! Ours was a pickleball based trip. Our coaches were outstanding and well worth the investment. They were great on their own and had great chemistry together and with each of us students. What a treat to have been coached by Sylvan and Moni!! I highly recommend the Pura Vida house. Easy access to a fabulous beach club and perfect sandy beach. Plenty of waves to play in and watch the surfers. Carole from Mn

Just got back from an amazing girls trip to Pura Vida. The accomodations were luxurious, the private chef was terrific and the pickleball lessons were the best I have ever had. Mani and Sindy were friendly, responsive hosts who are truly invested in delivering the best to their guests. I would highly recommend!

A group of us just spent a wonderful week at Pura Vida and it was fabulous!!The accommodations are quite luxurious, comfortable, and very clean. There is a chef who greets you every morning with a wonderful smile and a fabulous healthy breakfast. She also makes delicious healthy dinners and is very flexible in accommodating day trips and different dinner times. The home has a swimming pool, hammocks, yoga mats, games , laundry , golf carts, bikes, and all you could need. We were a group of tennis and pickleball players who played every day with the pros teaching us on techniques and strategies. Mani and Sindy are wonderful hosts offering suggestions of restaurants, excursions and entertainment etc. We will always cherish our wonderful vacation and memories at Pura Vida House!!! Pura Vida Costa Rica!!!!!!!

Our group of 11 people went in early Sept 2024 and want to add to Noelle’s and Colleen’s reviews. Mani and Sindy are wonderful hosts and our experience was exceptional. The house includes a pool, outside living room, outside dining room, an ice machine (indispensable) and a hammock pavilion. Our pickleball experience was second to none and everyone's play improved dramatically. Sylvain is the best instructor! Our food experience can be described in one word.. DELICIOUS! Mita, our cook, and her staff took excellent care of our diverse group with hearty breakfasts and yummy dinners. Don’t over think booking here, just do it!
