3BR Luxury Villa in Hacienda Pinilla

John

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

Awesome property! Pool was amazing and monkeys visited daily. Would definitely recommend.

While the location offers a truly remote , there were several issues that future guests should be aware of. The house itself is quite old and in need of major renovation. It did not feel well maintained, and unfortunately it was not very clean upon arrival. There were bugs crawling around the house during our stay. While I understand that being located in the jungle naturally comes with insects, the overall cleanliness made it feel more uncomfortable than expected. The property is very remote. The dirt roads leading to the community make travel slow and sometimes frustrating — getting anywhere takes much longer than you would think. Because of this, I would recommend planning activities in a nearby town rather than relying on going back and forth frequently. There is nothing to do around. No good restaurant. nightlife or any bar nearby. You have to drive minimum 30 minutes to get anywhere Overall, this place may be suitable if you truly want to disconnect and simply relax

Thank you for your review. Our home is the first site of the original “Campo” within Hacienda Pinilla. It is built and maintained with strict guidelines to keep its original heritage and ambiance. In addition, we are located within a tropical forest. We avoid the use of toxic pesticides and try to use natural remedies as much as possible. Finally, CR is developing country and bumpy dirt roads are part of the deal. Thank you for your support and review.

Casa Campos was exactly as we expected. The house had everything we needed and the location was perfect with a short walk to a private beach as well as Playa Avellana which was just a short drive away. The beach club amenities at Playa Avellana were a bit overpriced but the opposite end of the beach at Lola’s was a great cheaper alternative and only 15 minutes away. There is construction next door but we weren’t bothered by the occasional noise. We’d recommend this place to anyone, especially families looking to spend quality time together at a relaxing location.

Great house to visit with the family. My parents are very old and one thing I was worried was for their confort.. and the house absolutely nailed it. The beds are confortable, theres plenty space to be around, and a pool with a very accesible way to get in. Walking distance from a rocky beach, but its very close by car from other more sandy beaches. If you have kids and are bringing the old ones around, this is the place to be.

This is a beautiful house, very confortable with everything you need for a great vacation. Close to several beaches, even a little private one within walking distance. Wide rooms, nice pool. Supportive team VERY responsive helping us with questions and little maintenance needs. I would happy stay here again, just be aware that it needs some maintenance here and there and internet is very slow.

Thank you Melissa for staying with us! We are so happy you had a great time. Gracias!

We had a good time at David's home, but it definitely needs some maintenance. Most of the faucets barely provide water and need replacing, and all the showerheads should be upgraded as well. The dishwasher was also problematic, so we ended up doing the dishes by hand. A fresh coat of paint would significantly improve the space. On a positive note, the property and neighborhood are lovely and just as described. However, be prepared to drive to get groceries, as the nearest store is 20 minutes away. Overall, we'd consider staying here again, but only for half the price given the issues we encountered. We felt a bit misled.

Hi Rachael, we are so happy that you and your family had a good time in CR. Currently, fresh water is a valuable commodity in CR. During the dry season, our community has rationed this precious resource. Some local families outside our community don’t even have enough water to bath! Thank you for your understanding and business.
