Playa Viva is a unique eco-resort with stunning beach views and an overall magical vibe. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the food is truly remarkable, bringing the flavors of the region to life. However, some guests may find the experience a bit less ideal due to safety concerns and unexpected issues like generator problems. The accommodations are certainly special, but they come at a premium price that might not suit everyone.

Playa Viva is an extraordinary oasis where nature meets comfort, offering an unforgettable stay with luxurious treehouse-like accommodations and an emphasis on eco-tourism. The breathtaking beach views and serene atmosphere made for an idyllic retreat, but the remote location does require an adventurous spirit to access. Dining was a culinary delight with exceptional local flavors, although some might find the menu options a bit limited at times. Overall, the experience was worth every penny, especially for those looking to unwind in a uniquely beautiful setting.

Playa Viva is an incredible retreat that exceeded all my expectations. The gorgeous rooms, delicious locally sourced food, and unique experiences like turtle releasing and hiking made my stay unforgettable. I loved the natural swimming pool and the opportunity to disconnect completely. However, be mindful of bringing mosquito spray and consider swimming in the ocean during the rainy season. Overall, this is the perfect place to unwind and immerse yourself in nature.
