4BR Luxury Villa in Hacienda Pinilla

Ryan

Not good, 1 year ago

House is in need of a lot of maintenance and a deep cleaning. Not suitable for kids. Many exposed wires and unprotected outlets throughout. Air conditioning does not work in central part of house. Upon advising host of this, I was tasked with checking the breaker outside. Opted not to touch as all wires exposed to the elements. Very musty smelling throughout home. Does not appear to have been cleaned. Dirty throughout. Dirty towels, no soap or bath products in dispensers. Host was very accomodating with a last minute request and with an additional request for an extra few days. Other than that, needs improvement. This place was probably great when it was first built, but has been seriously neglected. Needs an overhaul and safety issues should be fixed immediately.

Case Nibbana is very well appointed, very roomy for 8 people. Very clean, the pool was fantastic. The outside area was tropical, private, had a gas grill, and private pool. The back porch area was very comfortable to sit in morning or night or anytime. Close enough to activities and great restaurants at the Hacienda Pinilla Marriott. The very close beaches were beautiful and travel to actitivites or you can arrange a travel service to pick you up. Georgina is super. We had a private chef, Jackpol, and he cooked and served delicious dinners. I would recommend him.

We stayed at Casa Nibbana from 11/23-11/30/19 and I cannot say enough about it. First of all, the home is exceptional. Its is beautiful beyond words! I really enjoyed staying close enough to Tamarindo that we could get there quickly for the sunset, lunch or dinner. That being said, the home is an oasis. The location is very calm and quiet, yet just close enough to Tamarindo that you can experience the calm of Hacienda Pinilla, while also being close enough to go to Tamarindo whenever you please. If you are a bird watcher or nature lover, this is the house for you. There are hundreds of different birds on the grounds of Hacienda Pinilla. We saw many parrots, jays, motmots, vultures--not to mention all sorts of wildlife. My 8 year old daughter loved the pool and the proximity of the stables--we went horseback riding twice during our stay. We went to the beach and to the beach club regularly. Overall, we had such an amazing and relaxing stay that we would like to come back and bring friends. The house is ideal for 2 couples and several children. The home is very well appointed and some of the features we appreciated were the washer/dryer, the very well-stocked kitchen and the fantastic pool. Finally, Georgina was an incredible hostess. Her communication was fast and helpful and she was very kind and considerate. We could not have had a better stay and recommend this property without reservation. Georgina was really a pleasure to work with.

The villa is gorgeous! The pool is so refreshing. It was awesome to get up and go straight into the pool. The children had pruny fingers before 9:00AM every morning. We used the Bbq a lot also. We have no complaints of the physical villa and it’s grounds. We had access to 3 beaches and visited the beach club also. Unfortunately, it was not well maintained in regards to the amenities inside the house. The A/C in our bedroom never worked and we ended up having to crowd into the kids room with our 3 other kids to be able to sleep without sweating all night. Our toilet kept running even after maintenance came to service it. The dishwasher is tricky and never worked. We ended spending valuable vacation time washing our dishes. With the added fees, I wished it was spent on thoroughly inspecting the house before and after each stay. The extra fees would be justified if the amenities listed were accessible and functional. These are few things however not having A/C in humid August definitely put a damper on our stay.
