Pura Vida Villa, Costa Rica - Maureen A. McQuiggan and Family

Pura Vida Villa, Costa Rica
March 15-22, 2014
Gene and I rented Pura Vida Villa for March 15-22, 2014 (This is NOT Easter week). Pura Vida is 20
minutes from the Liberia Airport, one block from Coco Beach and part of the Club at Coco Bay Resort. It
is close to both the town of Coco and Ocotal Beach. All of them are 5 minutes or less by foot from the
Pura Vida villa where we will host some group get together and meals. There are 4 apartments (on the
beach) and 2 villas available in this close proximity and owned by the same group. These apartments and
villas all include the resorts amenities (pool, beach club, restaurant, spa, tennis, water sport gear, etc.).
If you would like to join us on the Pura Vida compound, a list of choices is below.
To book, contact Gina Correll at [email protected] You will get the discounted rates
below by telling her you are part of our group (McQuiggan/Hoffman)
