LA FAMILIA PURA VISTA
First time hoteliers Thisbe & Mark, parents of 3 little works of art, professional photographers, underwater photographers, divers, adventurists and environmentalists at heart. They took over the hotel Fall of 2023 with the goal to add their expertise in tourisim and art with fingers on the pulse of wellness, nature and adventure and strong connection to the community.
It’s a family run business and you’ll likely see them running around with kids, doing the coral project, staying super active around the property, school activities and other community projects and exploration.
If you have questions about your stay or overall Costa Ria adventures just ask. Mark is Tico and grew up here while Thisbe Grace has known and loved CR for over 27 years. They are both super passionate about the natural wonders of this beautiful country, art and wellness, especially the ocean.
LOS GATOS
Also on the property are The Gatos. The Four Amigos. Say HELLO to Chancla (Reina), Gorda (Princessa), Cosmo and Panther. They are siblings that came to us just a few weeks old for the hotel ambassador position and were hired unanimously. Lol. Now about a year old, they are very well fed, so don’t be fooled when they approach for a snack (Wink). While they like to visit anyone willing to entertain them - it is recommended to check your room in case one has slipped in for a longer stay. Lol….
