    It was our first glamping experiece and it was very, very nice! The domes are spacious, clean, equipped with everything needded and the stuning view on the vulcano is amazing! A couple of restaurants in walking distance and the hosts (privately owned) are very friendly and helpful. We will definately stay there again when we are the next time in this area - highly recommended!

    Magical location. Even during rainy season you will have the best views. Woke up every morning for sunrise and it always paid off. Wendy was super welcoming and always ready to help us with anything.

    Since there was so much rain, would have been good to have more towels/door mats to help prevent making the floors so wet and muddy

    Amazing find! Our host were more than accommodating for all of our needs. Their kindness and assistance will not be forgotten. Even though the rain/fog spoiled our view, it didn’t change the quaintness of the property and beauty of the domes. Would recommend if in the area!

    They don't offer breakfast and we made it ourselves, but talking to Wendy, they are still working on the property and the idea is that they offer it in the future, so nothing really to complain about it, we knew it before :)

    Everything was amazing. The view is stunning, Wendy and Roger are very nice hosts and super friendly. The dome is abolutely perfect, it has a good size for a couple, hot shower, comfortable bed and a mini kitchen with coffee machine. We higly recommend it!

    If you need a pool, then maybe not for you. This property was perfect for us as we could just lounge on the deck overlooking the jungle and Arenal.

    This is an amazing find! We have visited La Fortuna, Tabacon, Arenal area a dozen times over the last 20 years. This property is a gem. Amazing views, total comfort, great value.

    We loved our two night stay at the domes in Arenal. Roger and Wendy were lovely hosts and super accommodating. They had lots of helpful local recommendations that we used. The dome was cozy but spacious and ideal for our family of 3. The view from inside the dome and from the balcony is absolutely stunning. We even had a great time riding out one of the nights with heavier rains and thunderstorms. The dome has WiFi, AC, hot/cold water and a mini fridge. It’s also pretty new. They are building out a shared common space as well on the property that looks like it will be great when complete. Recommend and would love to come back!

    Definitely the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. It was so great waking up in the tents with a fantastiv view on the vulkano. The tents were very comfortable and awesome. In the morning we even saw some tucans. The best part of our stay were Wendy and Roger. The wete so welcoming, heartwarming, helpful, and fun and it was always nice to have a little chat with them

    I didn’t like that we only planned to spend one day/night in the area. There are many activities from the Butterfly Conservatory, the Mt. Arenal Observatory, Sky Adventures, hikes, public hot springs very close to Pura Vista.

    Pura Vista Glamping was a great find and place to spend the night. Wendy and Roger were super helpful in helping us find a place to eat and in suggesting things to do while we were there. High recommend the Essence Arenal Jungle Night Tour right across the street from Pura Vista. It was an exceptional 90-minute tour with Aurelio. The photo was the view from our little dome deck

    The location, the view, the grounds, the “dome”. Can’t say enough great things about the owners, Wendy and Roy. Not only are they incredibly friendly but gave us lots of great local recommendations. Would’ve given 15 stars if that was an option!!!

    Beautiful property with an amazing view of Arenal Volcano. The hosts, Wendy and Roger, were so kind and accommodating. There are nearby restaurants and a small markets as well as activities. The Glamping yurts had a bed, futon couch, sink, fridge, coffee and tea, a/c, electrical and a shower. It was nicer than several hotels I’ve stayed in! And waking up to the volcano view every morning was breathtaking.
