My husband and I were having a bad experience at a nearby hotel, but luckily, one morning, we passed by Pura Vida Inn, and they had a room available! The owners welcomed us like family, and we had a wonderful time in our airconditioned room on the second floor. The room and bathroom were large, clean, and lovely, and the view was gorgeous! Pura Vida Inn made up for the time and money we lost at the other hotel, and we will definitely be returning here next time we’re in Caye Caulker!

Pura Vida inn is a wonderful place to stay. Really comfy bed and well equipped room. The best part is Eric the property manager. He made our stay in Caye Caulker the BEST from the moment he picked us up at the ferry dock. Recommendations and services were excellent. We had the best massages ever!!! Bikes were available. And sitting on the dock we were able to buy fish and conch direct from the fishermen. Location is superb. Close to town but a quiet property. Pool overlooking the water. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

What a hidden gem! This place had only several rooms, which made for a nice intimate space. We had a 1-bedroom unit that included a living room/kitchen with a full-sized fridge, a hot plate, microwave, and blender (which came in handy for making banana daiquiris). The bedroom was separate, which is useful if one person is sleeping. Let's talk about the pool. I was a bit worried that the swimming pool would be super tiny since they called it a dipping pool, but it was actually a nice size! The same size as many of the other places on the island. Since this place was so small, we ended up having it all to ourselves during our whole stay, which was great! We used it to cool down and lounge around during the hot days. The building casts a bit of shade in the corner in the afternoon, so there's no need to worry about a nasty sunburn. The location is excellent! It's on the south side, about a 3-minute walk from one of the ferries and a little bit longer from the other. Activity shops and restaurants are really close by. For those further away, they offered complimentary bikes, which we ended up using every day. (My only gripe was that the bikes were rusty and need to be replaced, but being by the ocean will do that, and we still managed to bike all the way to Bliss Beach.) And it's right off the water, so once you step out, views are spectacular, and you get an absolute lovely breeze. Trust me, you'll want that when it gets hot. Eric headed up everything, answered all our questions, and took care of things if we needed, such as giving us new water. He's laidback but super helpful.

Very clean, convenient to everything on the island. If you arrive by water taxi, it is only 700 feet down to the inn. If you fly in or out, which we did on the way out it was 5 minute golf cart taxi ride. The water taxi took about 45 minutes and I would not recommend if you have water/motion sickness. New owners have done several facelifts on the property…including painting rooms, matching furniture, local artwork, luxurious towels,etc. If you want to walk to a beach, 2-3 blocks either way…or bicycle, taxi (golf cart). New owners have also reconfigured second floor so that there are up to four bedrooms, 3 baths that can be adjoining with kitchen/living space with nice patio…very reasonably priced with $15 for the week of every other day maid service. Extra towels were available if needed before maid day. Pool towels were available in the rooms so you do not need to bring them. We did not have an issue with bugs…no need for anything but casual clothes. Staff and owners helpful with recommendations on restaurants with three convenient stores within half a block. We did have to buy ice and beverages at convenient stores and found liquor about 20%cheaper at the airport. We did go on snorkeling trip which was great one day but otherwise just relaxed. Pool is small but serves its purpose to “dip” and cool down. Do not think you can go wrong with the Pura Vida…

Lovely charming quiet Hotel and a perfect location On the beach Mary and Eric keep the hotel immaculately clean. We stayed in the oceanview room which is like the other rooms on the main floor. They are one bedroom, granite kitchens, big showers and very clean. The hotel is very well run. It is right next-door from Magic Grill with a full restaurant and bar. The pool area is rather small but they have a large part of the beach across the street with lots of tables and swings to watch sunrise Eric is there most of the time with Mary part of the time and they are both knowledgeable and helpful about anything you need while you stay there. A big thank you to both of them for making our stay so wonderful! We hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful, spacious accommodations. Beds were very comfortable. Very friendly staff and owners. Great location…just steps from the water taxi and Salty’s. Bicycles are available to the guests. We really enjoyed exploring the island on bikes.

Every once in a while, life throws an unexpected surprise at you and that was the case for us at Pura Vida Inn during our stay at Caye Caulker. Eric was absolutely as nice and professional a person you’ll find during our check in process. The room we stayed was a very nice, pleasant upgrade from the night before at different location close by. All our needs were met and exceeded by the staff at Pura Vida. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious, warm and inviting. We were sad to leave but another even more pleasant surprise awaited us after leaving. Somehow, I forgot some very important documents and personal information upon leaving. Mary was relentless on tracking us down as she realized the importance of said documents. She arranged delivery of documents in very well sealed package and I received them in time for travel. We absolutely will return to Caye Caulker on our next trip back and Pura Vida inn will be our first option.. Do not overlook this location in your search. The ocean view from room is beautiful and the sunrises worth waking up for!
