3BR Luxury Villa in Hacienda Pinilla

We rented this place for our wedding in las palapas , this place is spacious and have beautiful sorroundings . it is super well equipped and the rooms and ammenities are great , the terrace and balcony were my favorite spots . the hosts (Dennise and Grant) were really responsive for our requests and allowed us to check in early for a surprise I had the day before the wedding, so I highly recommend them as hosts and the house is a really nice place.

We had a terrific week at this home. It’s super comfortable and well appointed. The owners provided really helpful information about different places to spend our time- all were great! The home was very clean. The housekeeper was so sweet and made a traditional Tica breakfast for us. Hers was the best food we ate all week. We loved spending our mornings on the second story porch with a wonderful breeze. We saw monkeys right from the balcony two different times. The wildlife just around the home is incredible. We had an issue with the lock box when we arrived but given the attention to detail that they show I’m certain it will be fixed before the next visitor. We hope to come back again!

Beautiful and very comfortable Air BnB. Looks just like the pictures. The patio and balcony were the big draw. So lovely to sit outside and enjoy coffee/breakfast on patio, wine/dinner in evenings, sleep in hammock if so inclined. Easy access across the parking lot to community pool. Walk about 5 min to a locked gate (ask Denise or Iriedy to show you the key) to get onto Marriott property and their beach and palapas. If you don’t have the key, you can still access, just a bit longer walk (?10-15 min). Iriedy is a fabulous cook and very sweet. You can specify what days you need her to come if you don’t need her everyday. The place was spotless. We did hear the howler monkeys at sunset. Easiest way to get to the Air BnB is to set your GPS to JW Marriott Guanacaste then take the first left after the Marriott. There will be 2 gates to get through with a QR code that the host (Denise in our case) will give you. Then you use a 4 digit passcode for lockbox.

Grant and Denise’s place in Hacienda Pinilla was perfect for our Family of 5. Denise was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the stay. Helping us with groceries, excursions, toys for the kids and more. Having the daily housekeeper made it feel like vacation and we look forward to returning.

Host Response

Gracias Kristel!

This was an incredible place to stay and we will definitely be back! Pictures don’t do it justice. The unit itself is very spacious, clean, and a perfect layout for a family or several couples traveling together. With 2-porches, it has incredible ocean views and we’d watch daily for monkeys and birds just outside the house. The neighborhood is safe, has an awesome amenities with the Beach Club and surf breaks right out front. Denise/Grant were wonderful hosts and we can’t say more positive things about our trip. We can’t wait to come again soon!

Host Response

Marissa we are so happy the monkeys came to say hello! We really enjoyed hosting you and your family and hope to see you again soon.

Denise was a great host and overextended herself in welcoming us, ordering groceries for us, and making sure all of our questions were answered. The region is a bit more isolated than we expected. A car is definitely needed just to do basics such as try different restaurants, get groceries, etc. this isn’t on the house, but more that we didn’t have a lot of time to plan based on our desire for a walkable low lift beach vacation. The home and staff in the home were enjoyable and very helpful with meals. Would definitely recommend the home and Denise as a host.

Hi John. Yes, I did advise you that a car would be needed in order to explore the 4,500 acres and surrounding area, and that the nearest store was a 20 min car ride from the villa. Our villa is a 5 min walk to some of Costa Rica's most beautiful, walkable beaches; Playa Bonita, to Mansita to Playa Aveallanas, to Playa Lagartillo. My husband and I walk to Tamarindo for lunch and back via Playa Langosta ! We also walk to Playa Avellanas for lunch at Lolas and back to the villa. The walkability on flat sandy beaches was why we bought the villa in Hacienda Pinilla. Also, the beach walk to the Beach Club is divine, especially returning during sunset.

Wow! This place is amazing. Has everything you need and in a location that’s pretty magical. Exceeded my expectations big time. Fam loved the pool and we usually had it all to ourselves. Wildlife was next level here. Kids saw so many cool animals. Access to all of my favorite beaches and surf spots. The house manager Andreina was so responsive to our needs and made some fantastic food for us. Very hard to leave this place. Will be coming back soon.

We loved our stay here. We were close enough to get into Tamarindo but far enough to have the peace and quiet of the Hacienda estate. 3-4 private beaches all walkable, horseback riding on the estate and incredible restaurants. The house was beautifully appointed and the cleaning service so friendly and helpful. It is a perfect place for families. The hosts provided a great deal of local recommendations that were so helpful.

Absolutely five star location, condo and resort. So many amenities and attention to details at the condo. We were a family of four with grandparents joining and the condo was the perfect fit! We were all drawn to the wrap around porch and hammocks instantly. As other reviewers stated Andreina is super sweet and helpful. We were able to explore the resort and take advantage of the pool as well as several private beaches within the property. I would highly recommend going to a grocery store on the way in or having them delivered upon arrival. The kitchen was so well stocked we ate almost every meal at the condo for the week we were there. On our last day the howler monkeys came right to the the trees across from the condo to wish us fare well! What an unforgettable trip! Hope to one day be lucky enough to return!

Everything was excellent

Our stay at this Airbnb in Hacienda Pinilla was absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, spacious, and set in a peaceful, lush environment—perfect for relaxation. The surroundings were serene, with easy access to stunning beaches and nature trails. What truly made our experience exceptional was the host’s responsiveness and attentiveness. They provided clear communication, great recommendations, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether we had a question or needed assistance, they were always quick to help. The property itself was well-maintained, comfortable, and had all the amenities we could ask for. It felt like a private retreat, yet we were close to all the best that Hacienda Pinilla has to offer. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with a fantastic host, this is the perfect place. We would absolutely stay here again!
