"Playa Viva is a stunning beautiful eco resort in every sense of the term. Nearly all the delicious produce is grown on-site in a permaculture agri-forest, the electricity is entirely self-generated solar, and there was not a bit of plastic to be found (including no plastic straws at the bar and no cheap trinkets in the gift shop). The property is beautiful,..." Read more

The owner has given careful attention to detail in every regard of this property, from the land and architecture to the farm, the meals, the curation of spaces, the cleanliness..." Read more

"It was our first regenerative-resort experience and definitely not the last. We loved EVERYTHING about PlayaViva: the original concept, the real eco-resort aspect, staff, the local feel, the clean untouched beach , the ocean, and most importantly all the cool projects PlayaViva does in Juluchuca"

"Playa Viva was an unbelievable experience- it was so simple and elegant. Everything was clean and personal. The staff was extremely friendly and everything felt safe and comfortable. It was like a second home and I was always treated with kindness. I can't thank the staff enough for one of the best weeks I've ever had. I will definitely be back."

"I arrived at Playa Viva hot, tired, dusty, thirsty, cranky and burnt out. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, full of energy and joy. From the moment we pulled onto the property, I felt better. Loved the flowers and plants, the warm welcome, cool cloths and chilled agua fresca. I loved the natural, open-air feeling of the place. The wildness of the beach and..." Read more

"Brought a group of 35 to Playa Viva and had the best time ever! To be clear many of us have gathered at high end resorts twice a year for at least a decade. This trip was the highlight, not just A highlight."

"Playa Viva is our happy place! This last week was our sixth visit (we have been going there since 2011). Playa Viva has the friendliest and most professional staff that you will ever meet. Lovely eco-casitas. You can open up the windows (and walls) and enjoy the ocean sounds and breezes. We have experienced many baby turtle releases there too. You will not b..." Read more
