Pura Vida Inn

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!

A+++ Husband and I spent a week. The BEST location and Inn on the island as far as we could tell. The employees are incredible. (THANK YOU ERIC.) Super clean room and pool area. Access to food and beverages was close and easy. We will go back 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!

My wife and I stayed here Jan 4 through Jan 19 2024. We stayed in the Ocean Villa on the 2nd floor. The Villa is so spacious, 3 bedrooms 2 baths , large living area and full kitchen. You have a small balcony out front with a spectacular view of the Ocean. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Eric made sure that our stay was incredible with every attention to detail. Quiet street near lots of restaurants. Very good location on the island. We can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay here. We have already booked a return trip for 2025. We highly recommend Pura Vida Inn in Caye Caulker. You won’t be disappointed. Gerald & Alice

My husband and I stayed at Pura Vida Inn for 4 nights in a one bedroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are so clean you can eat off the floor. The unit is spacious and perfect for two people. It also had everything we needed. The location is excellent if you want to be in a more quiet area but still be within walking distance to the action. Eric and Mary are amazing and made us feel like we were staying with family. The owners were also there during our stay and are super nice and welcoming. We will be back!

Caye Caulker, Belize is like no other place on earth. In one word, it’s the “vibe.” We stayed 10 days and the inn was Extraordinarily clean, safe, private…but most of all it is so welcoming. Eric and Mary are the best people and are so fun to talk to and took care of every need. The people of this place are kind and gracious. We have had the best service and felt the most gratitude than anywhere we have ever traveled. They took care of the transfer from the hotel to the water taxi, picked us up upon arrival to the island, and arranged everything for our return trip. Every restaurant recommendation they gave us was excellent. They called restaurants for us, dropped us off around town, made reservations for excursions, and checked on every single need. You can rent a golf cart, but we never needed it. The inn is located in a more quiet area of the island, which we loved. We had all the privacy we needed. I can’t say enough positive about our stay. It was perfect in every way. Be prepared for almost everyone you encounter on the streets to speak and welcome you to their island. Although we had some great meals, Roy’s Wish Willy’s and Sunset Pelican were our favorites!

This newly renovated boutique hotel has a lot going for it. It sits walking distance to the water taxi dock and next to a great little restaurant and bar. The Inn is under new ownership and management. The manager, Eric, went out of his way to accommodate us. We identified an a/c that didn't come on and he promptly corrected it. He also acted as our concierge by finding us good fishing and snorkeling guides. A great little place that we are already planning our return
