We are Robert and Tere Gresl, owners of Casa La Pura Vida. This journey began as a dream we had in 2015. We loved coming to Baja California and spent many weekends and more here to escape the daily work and life in fast paced Los Angeles/Orange County. Our trips would often start out spontaneously as we would drive to Ensenada in the early morning hours watching the sun break over the mountainous landscape. We would enjoy our time trinket shopping, sipping margaritas and eating chips and salsa before we would head back north toward Rosarito Beach, sometime stopping along the way for a nice lobster lunch in Puerto Nuevo. Rosarito became a peaceful retreat for us, typically staying at the iconic Rosarito Beach Hotel where we would enjoy the beautiful views overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We had many favorite restaurants and bars in Rosarito Beach that we would frequent to enjoy the traditional food and, of course, the margaritas. We often dreamed and spoke about having our own place on or near the beach here where we could relax and potentially retire to, ideally to supplement our retirement income. A beach bar and grill was often discussed, picturing lazy days (and nights) pouring exotic drinks and serving tacos to all our patrons.
