Kura is a beautiful hotel! I went for a solo trip and it was amazing but I do feel like this stay is for couples. Only because the facility only has a pool for an activity. The hotel does have excursions which include transportation for $25 there and back. Heading to the hotel there is a very steep hill that you must pay to come up and down from so I do recommend driving unless you plan on staying at the hotel most of the time. The food was also a little pricey and not much of a selection. There are about 5 different entrees that do not change day to day. Overall my stay was beautiful peaceful and quiet but very disclosed from a lot of things so I recommend having someone even if you do like solo trips

Just needs warmer pool water and maybe a hot tub. But those are not very eco friendly. The rest and staff were amazing. Driving up and down the dirt road makes the adventure.

I can not say enough great things about Kura! Sindy, Sergio, Jay, Lalu, and the others were so amazing! They made sure our every need was taken care of. They anticipated any thing we might need and were beyond friendly. We had the infinity pool villa and oh my gosh it was beyond breathtaking! The view was amazing and we woke up every day to toucans playing in the trees right outside our room. The Kura stuff went out of their way to make our stay amazing! They drove us to any excursions we wanted to take and the drinks were amazing every time we arrived. The food is impeccable and you will not be disappointed. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they made me room so romantic with fresh fruit and a custom dinner menu.

Best vacation we've ever taken!!
We came here on our honeymoon and were completely blown away. After a long day of traveling, we were immediately greeted by a friendly staff with hot towels, and our stresses immediately dissolved. The staff here is the most accommodating and loving group of people I could ever imagine - they went out of their way with various surprises (room upgrade, a night in the spa to ourselves with a hot bath and dessert, a bottle of champagne in our room, breakfast on the roof overlooking the oceans and being amongst the birds) to make our trip very special. We spent about half the days by the pool, where the staff members would make us their favorite drinks, and we loved just chatting with them all, learning about the local culture, and hearing all of their stories. The other half of the trip, we went snorkeling, hiking, and horseback riding - three fabulous excursions! I cannot say enough great things about this place but we're already psyched to come back for another trip to Kura! HIGHLY recommended.

Eco tourism as it should be done
Kurà and its people are remarkable. It is difficult to be brief; we had a very rich experience. Room/Architecture: The ocean view is indeed the paramount feature of all six rooms, and the wildlife—mostly beautiful birds—is right there outside your balcony. Beautiful design and architecture as well. Food: Delicious. As a vegetarian, I wanted more days to try all the options, and my carnivore husband was equally well served. Staff: Exceptionally skilled, wonderful people. All efforts to provide privacy were invested, when we wanted privacy, and all efforts to provide cultural context and information were also invested, when we wanted those. Sustainable practices: Comfort and luxury are not at odds with sustainable practices at Kurà. Solar energy, on-site greenhouse and local fare all power and provide for the place.The owners and staff clearly take pride in their efforts, yet there’s no “preachy” atmosphere (as I have experienced in other places). Because of the beauty of the natural and human-made environments and the warmth of the people, few places beckon you back like Kurà. Go as soon as you can and be prepared to miss it afterwards.
