The home is located in Hacienda Pinilla, a very private gated community next to the JW marriott. The grounds are beautiful, with lots of trees and foliage. The house is very elegant, with high end finishes and well designed spaces. It was perfect for our family of six. Our favorite spot was the upstairs patio with lots of comfy places to sit and an ocean view. Beds are all very comfortable. There are three lovely pools in the complex, one adjacent to the property, and a beautiful beach just a short walk away. Tamarindo the town is very busy and quite popular with tourists, so it was great to be in a more peaceful setting. You do need a car or some transport to get to markets and restaurants as Tamarindo is a 20-30 minute drive. The auto Mercado is the Costa Rica equivalent of Whole Foods, again in the town. A highlight of our stay at the home was hanging out with a family of howler monkeys by the pool.

Perfect for our group who came for a conference
