Villa Pura Vida Apartments Siargao

Villas are private, set amongst a lovely garden setting away from the hustle and bustle. Some great cafes and restaurants across the road and many others only a short scooter ride away. The onsite staff were responsive, helpful and super friendly. The Villa was well layed out for a couple.

Some of the fittings (e.g. tapware, latches, etc) in the villa seemed to be poor quality and were not working very well or were broken. The pool deck was also falling apart due to it being made from a cheap plastic deck material. They are aware of this and I believe it is being replaced soon. The deck chairs around the pool were also falling apart and could do with being replaced. The pool pump also broke while we were staying so the pool became unsuable for a couple of days as it wasn't filtering the water.

The entrance is super unassuming, Just a door in a bamboo fence. But behind that door lies a little garden paradise with a hand full of villas scattered around what feels like a little jungle with tall plants. This makes every villa feel separate from everybody else's. Beds are super comfy and both the caretaker as well as the reservations manager were super friendly and helpful. There is a good breakfast place just on the other side the street, so breakfast is easy to find. The pool is nice, too, We really did not miss anything.

Excellent location, very clean and comfortable and manager was amazing!!

Das Appartement ist total schön, sauber und geräumig und man fühlt sich sofort total wohl. Der check-in war sehr unkompliziert und die Besitzerin ist sehr hilfsbereit.

Die Polster waren etwas hart bzw. hoch, vielleicht könnte man die zweiten Polster Weiher nehmen. Ansonsten war alles spitze.

The property is beautifully designed and feels like a mini hidden away paradise! We also almost always had the pool to ourselves. Christina was so helpful and kind. From inside the place, every window brings in natural light and you’re surrounded by greenery. We didn’t want to leave! It was perfect for our honeymoon!

Nothing!

Villa y piscina espectaculares. Cerca de todo pero lo suficiente alejado para tener tranquilidad. Personal amable y que te ayuda con alquiler de moto, transfer…

No hay limpieza durante tu estancia (limpian al final para el siguiente huésped). Check-out muy temprano a las 10 am (igualmente nos dejaron quedarnos en piscina).

מקום מהמם!!! ממש אהבתי הכל , המיקום מעולה 4 דק לג׳נרל או לקלאוד 9 . ברחוב שקט ממול יש כמה בתי קפה והדירה עצמה מרווחת נקייה מרוהטת היטב וגם העיצוב היה מהמם בעייני , בריכה נוחה ויפה בקיצור 10/10 בעייני

אין מה לא לאהוב

Very modern, clean and relaxing apartment. We'll equipped, good air con, just a perfect apartment for relaxing few days. Nice pool area with plenty of privacy.

Pura Vida – the name says it all! Absolutely stunning, tastefully designed cottages. Everything you could possibly need is thoughtfully provided. The pool is divine, and the beach towels are beautiful. A warm and welcoming reception—thank you, Cristina 🌸, and the entire Pura Vida team—for this magnificent experience. A true oasis of tranquility, completely surrounded by nature. johan & xandra

The villas were very spacious and well equipped. The pool was big and the water quite refreshing. We really liked our stay. Several restaurants especially brunch places within a few meters only

Coole Villa mit Pool und Cafes / Restaurants in gleich nebenan. Alles vorhanden um auch mal selber zu kochen, Trinkwasser ist dabei und die Managerin hilft sehr schnell und unkompliziert bei Anliegen wie Transfer oder Roller mieten.

Location Room

Lack of facilities Lack of amenities Water was brown most of the times! Too many rules instead of prioritizing service quality and flexibility Our Items not found although camera was just above it

Avskildhet, otroligt bra standard typ 4 eller 5 stjärnigt. Rummen/ villorna var superfina

Kanske att man behöver betala 5000 pesos i kontanter i deposition om något skulle hända. Som tur var skulle vi resa vidare så vi kunde använda upp pengarna. Så dom behövde göra en kontrollrond innan vi fick tillbaka pengarna. När jag påtalade det att vi kände oss misstrodda sa dom att alla gör så vilket inte alls är sant. Jag har bott på hundratals hotell värden över och det har aldrig hänt förut.

Sehr tolle Unterkunft, zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen, sehr sauber, geräumig, mit allen Essentials eingerichtet, unglaublich nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Auch die Lokale direkt gegenüber waren sehr gut. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen.

An amazing place to stay in Siargao, close to General Luna! The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and has everything you need to feel at home. Christina, the manager, was incredible and helped us with everything we needed on the island — far beyond our expectations. She truly made our stay in Siargao unforgettable, arranging surf lessons, boards, and even a motorbike delivered right to the villa. The pool is super fun, and overall, it’s just an amazing place to stay in Siargao

Staff are helpful. Pool is nice but may be too deep for some, I'm 6 foot and had to tiptoe when not swimming.

Shower is dreadful. Hot water intermittent. Sofa is not comfortable. No TV. WiFi slow.

Property is clean.

Drinking water is not refilled, location is far from Tourism road but we rented motorcycles as our means of transportation which was 400 pesos per day. The pool wasn’t available as well and would have been nice if this was communicated prior to guests booking.

Villa Pura Appts was outstanding the Villa was exceptional and the thought,design and quality of the Villas and facilities provided were excellent. The staff and the owner are amazing, friendly and kind provide great service. I would recommend Villa Pura to anyone who is thinking of booking you will Love it!

N/A

Th spacious Villa and the kitchen

The water is orange to brown. looks like kalawang or mud

Our stay in Villa Pura Vida was wonderful. Everything was spotless, super clean, and very cozy. The garden and all the plants surrounding the villa make you feel in paradise.The wi-fi was super fast and always working, we were a bit worried because we heard that the connection in the island is not that great and my wife had to work a little bit having conferences online, and how they said it super fast, so no issues at all. Christina, the manager, she is absolutely a legend she was always super kind and helpful, giving us advice and helping out for tours and places to visit. We really felt in paradise so hard to leave.

Nothing

We had an amazing stay here! It’s super super clean, very spacious and an amazing comfortable bed. The AC is amazing, a really luxurious and relaxing space in the middle of General Luna. Christina is always reachable and super helpful. We will definitely be back and excited about how the place will look when it’s finished.

We are literally in awe when we arrived in the villa. Ate Christina welcomed us warmly with a smile, explained all the details regarding the villa. Made sure that our stay will be worthwhile, and it was! Minimalistic style and home-y feels. Plus points for the free coffee and the Sungka! Will be back to score 1 more win against my husband 😅

Amazing apartment. Clean and modern with a very bright room

Nothing

We stayed one month in villa pura vida and was absolutely wonderful we felt like our little home also was very clean and we have also had change of linens and cleaning of the room every week. The staff(Marc) was very helpful always available for anything we could possibly need and making sure we were having a great time giving us some recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. I definitely will book again if a ever visit siargao again

Would be nice if would have a espresso coffee machine machine

Confortable villa, well furnished and decorated. Very spacious and luminous. They have many partners to organize tours and transfers. There are a few hostels across the street to get breakfast. You will receive a great list of recommandations for literally everything upon check-in that was very useful.

Nothing, all good.

The place is really peaceful have some kind of minimalist vibe

Amazing place, and really silent, perfect for relaxing after busy days. Nicely decorated and really functional. AC works great, the host Marc was really hospitable!

All was great

I really enjoyed my stay here while traveling solo. I arrived 6 hours early, and since the room was ready, they checked me in right away. Marc was super helpful and always easy to reach. The power fluctuates sometimes, but that’s normal for the island. The Wi-Fi was fast, and I could work during the day. The place is quiet, and the bed was very comfortable, I slept great! It's a bit far from the busy streets, so renting a motorbike is a good idea for going out at night, though tuktuks are available nearby. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I’ll definitely be booking again next time I visit!

Great modern little house with everything you need. The AC works great, you can make coffee or cook in the kitchen and everything was nice and clean. The host is also very responsive and helpful.

Nothing

Facilities were great, just as advertised. Really Comfortable stay if there are no hitches with power outages.

There was a 12+ hour power outage during my stay which meant no power or water. Definitely out of the properties control, but would be nice to have some sort of generator to compensate.

Lovely property in the heart of the tourist area at the island, close to shops, restaurants.

Amazing Location and great views, the apartment has starlink so its perfect for working

Missing a bigger / more comfy table

Super easy communication with the host and flexible check-in time.

17hr power outage - but that’s an island issue not a host issue at all ;)

Clean and pleasant stay

Nothing, apart from the power cut down which was inevitable as whole island was affected We were noticed prior to the incident. Mark was very helpful

The villa was in a great location and had everything that we wanted - perfect place also for working, as both me and my partner were working the entire week from there. Great, stable wifi connection. And great recommendations and care from Marc!

very cozy and clean and just along the main road

great location, clean and felt well looked after. Just like the pictures so didn’t disappoint.

Location (between general Luna and cloud 9, direct access to the beautiful greenhouse cafe & restaurant’s beach access, next to CEV (awesome ceviche place) The kitchen and the provided equipment. The hosts.

Nothing we particularly disliked just because aware of the fact that even if Cloud 9 is walkable as well as parts of GL you ideally rent a motorbike/scooter or rely on a TukTuk to reach the tag Supermarket in central GL or public market at the port.

Liked everything about this place. Its the exact same in the photos. Location is perfect, it's next to a restaurant, a cafe (where we have our breakfast daily), an atm. It's along the main road, just 5mins from cloud 9. It's a quiet area as well. Felt really safe. Marc took care of us during our entire stay - we're a group of 2 couples. He recommended van transfers, tours, surf instructors, restaurants. All his recommendations were reliable. It was very easy to communicate with him. The villa is spotless clean & looks well taken cared of - it had everything you could possibly need and more. It was such a nice and pleasant stay. I will be happy to come back here and recommend the place to my friends. Our flight arrived early in siargao and left around 4 pm. Marc was very helpful in terms of check-in and check out times, very considerate of our flight schedule. Delighted with the place & the personalized service :) Thank you so much.

Mark is very kind and the room is beautiful

The price is high for the facilities and what you get compared to other hotels in the area

Everything

Water quality although its everyones problem in siargao.

Clean, beautiful apartment in a great location. The host, Mark, was brilliant giving advice on things to do and contacts for arranging activities.

There was no hot water in the shower for our stay which was unfortunate

The room was very spacious and clean, Mark was very accommodating and readily available to lend a hand.

Great value accomodation in the best location! Marc was the best host, super attentive and catered to any request within minutes! He also gave us great recommendations!

Unlike some of the larger resorts they don’t have a generator to deal with the power outages but this is no fault of the owners/staff as it is a problem all over the island. Marc kept us informed with updates when the power was out.

Everything was great. Great location, the villa was very cozy and clean and Marc was amazing, he helped us with everything during our stay! Super recommended we really enjoyed it!

Apartment itself and the decoration is really nice. The guy helping the hosts (Marc) it is a kind person, open to help you whenever you need.

Temperature inside the room in 1st floor apartment is extremely hot. Combination of power supply issues in the island (leading to A/C not working) together with poor isolation of the apartment makes impossible to cool down the temperature of the room, reaching temp. above 35 degrees and high moisture level. We were forced to change our accomodation to another hotel until we get a room on the ground floor. The owner declined to reimborse the costs for the nights we spent in another hotel. Choose this hotel only in case you are a sauna lover!

Comfortable stay, nice location, restaurants, cafes, and shops are in close proximity. The entire villa is well maintained and has everything you need for a home stay.

The property was exceptionally clean! They provided toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was delightfully decorated and very peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking a good meal (except the food of course). Marc did a great job of setting expectations leading up to the booking, which I think is vital for a good stay. I will definitely consider this property again in true future.

There wasn’t anything to not like.

Everything

They maybe can have a better quality sheets in the bed

Tasteful furnishings in the apartments with a small nice garden and veranda. Marc was very polite and helpful for all our questions. His suggestions for restaurants can we totally recommend and we’re tried a lot.

Nothing to complain.

the interior design and cleanliness is outstanding! plus Kuya Marc is very kind and helpful. looking forward to stay in this Beautiful place again ❤️

the towel need to change to thicker and better fabric

everything about the apartment is great, from the check in with Mark, to the cleanliness, good wifi, nice kitchen with complimentary coffee, comfortable bed, good quiet AC, nice shower. location is right on tourism road next to greenhouse cafe and Sev, 2 great food options. definitely recommend and will stay here again.

The apartments are as new and stylish, if not more, than you see in the pictures. All the basics like salt and oil are provided in the kitchen and my friend loved the adorable coffee set up. We had the smallest type apartment, which had one big bed and a japanese-style futon (basically a mattress for sleeping on the floor - my friend said it was perfectly comfortable). The best part of staying here was the service though. Mark was an incredible host and I almost felt bad bothering him so much and at all times of the day, but he always tried his best to help us and always with a smile! Whether it was where to go out on a certain night or arranging tours or laundry service. We also met one of the owners (if I remember correctly, from the UK) on our last day who was very friendly. No issues at all with noise, located in a pretty peaceful area.

It was really hard to find - but just remember that it is between Greenhouse and Ceviche and you will be good. Keep in mind that if you want to have the apartment cleaned you have to arrange the day before and pay a little extra - but it is such a small amount and a pleasure to support the local economy. So these aren't things we didn't like actually, just things I think other travelers should know.

we valued the property manager the most and his helpfulness in getting us a scooter rental, booking tours and fixing any issues that arose.

There was some painting that was done prior to our arrival and we had difficulty with the fumes while sleeping. We had to keep doors open to air it out. Despite this we would return because of the location, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff.

This apartment is simply beautiful, it had everything we needed (big bed, fully equipped kitchen, shower separated from toilet by wall, hot water), and it was very clean - which was mainly what we were looking for. Marc was very helpful, he gave us tips and was always avaliable when we needed something. Some days were a bit rainy, and we were really glad that we chose this accomodation. We higly recommend this place!😊

Just a tip: don’t leave any food on the counters, ants are super quick on this island!😁

everything, especially kitchen wares. and it is within the area of good food and nightlife 😁

rooms don’t have 🔒. but it’s okay with us.

The apartment was newly finished and very clean. The entire space was comfortable and felt very homey. Stu was extremely helpful and responsive with everything during our stay in Siargao. He helped book our scooter, a surfing instructor, and our van transport to the airport. Endless recommendations were provided to ensure our stay was great. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The hosts are so welcoming and helpful. They organized for us to rent scooters, transport to AirPort etc. They were Always avilable to Contact if we had any questions. In addition, the apartmemt were SO Nice. Such good atmosphere and facilities. Really recommend this villa to Everyone who is considering to stay in siargao!

Stew and Rob are awesome, they organised a scooter and a surfguide for us, gave us many tips and helped us with whatever we needed! The accomodation was beautiful, fully equipped kitchen and great location

everything was perfect, brand new place, clean, nice air conditioning, good garden unbelievable owner, who really cares about you, for example he suggests us to plan a trip because there was no electricity on whole island

The hosts are very accommodating.

The ambiance and location are the best features of this property.
