Super responsive and great host Place was fantastic

We are delighted your group loved their vacation at our home . We strive to make our home and amenities as wonderful and stress free as possible . The staff work hard to make everything run smoothly so you don’t need to worry about organizing anything from chefs , tours , massages, food delivery airport pick up , car rental and golf carts as well as maid service . All a complimentary service .. Thank you for the 5 star review That’s fantastic !!

The house was incredible, very clean, very nice, the pool was great.  The staff of Diana's was absolutely incredible, they helped make reservations for us, and the maid was there daily keeping things clean, and even made us an incredible breakfast.   This place is great for large families, or groups who need lots of space.  The negative is simply location; the outer roads were closed daily with little to no notice.  We literally had to drive an extra 40 minutes one of the nights in the dark due to the entrance being blocked by dirt piles.   It also would have been beneficial to know we would lose power and water which was scheduled during our stay.  Overall, the place was great and was perfect for what we were looking for.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the house, the pool, and especially the service provided by our team. It means a lot to know that our concierge service and housekeeping helped make your stay memorable. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the road closures and the scheduled utility interruptions. We completely understand how inconvenient those situations must have felt. As soon as the local municipality officially announced the road closures, we shared the information with all of our guests. Unfortunately, it was an unexpected situation that caught even local residents by surprise, so there was very little advance notice available. The scheduled water and power outages were organized by the local utility providers, and we communicated those schedules as soon as they were released so our guests could plan accordingly and minimize any disruption to their stay. We always strive to provide the most transparent, proactive, and timely communication possible, especially when circumstances beyond our control arise. Thank you again for your understanding, and we truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Costa Rica in the future! 🌴

Really need to rent a car because there is not a lot to do in Hacienda Pinilla. House is great and concierge was helpful. Must get groceries in advance as there is not anywhere nearby to buy groceries. Lotti was great and provided breakfast every morning. House doesn’t include access for free to the beach club. Make sure you ask for extra towels!

Glad you enjoyed our house and complimentary housemom. Beach club is discounted from $45 to $5.00 per day which is a tremendous bonus. Beach club rents out surf kayak paddle and boogey boards . Tennis, pickleball and horseback riding are all inside estate as well as a huge 18 hole golf course .. ATV and fishing,20 mins away. And many tours and adventures nearby available so there is plenty to do.

We loved our stay at Casa Marbella! We had extended family staying, 3 families, and had plenty of space for all of us. The home was well equipped with anything we could want or need. The pool was clear and well loved by our children. The supreme service was the concierge service with our housemom Loti. She fixed us wonderful breakfasts, tidying up all of our spaces and lightened the load of staying at an Air BnB substantially. The concierge service was also very helpful - they met us at check-in and check-out, checked in with us regularly, helped me get the cutest birthday cake and gave recommendations for any excursion or restaurant we asked about. We loved our time in Costa Rica and our stay at Casa Marbella.

We are thrilled you loved your stay and everything exceeded your expectations Thank you for the wonderful review and we hope you return or tell your friends . We appreciate all the feedback Best Diana

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely wonderful!!

we had a great time at Casa Marbella, it was very comfortable in spacious

We enjoyed our stay at Diana’s house, it was the perfect spot for our large group to relax together and explore the beautiful beaches nearby. The concierge team was super helpful and responsive during our stay.

Fantastic stay! We stayed here for a wedding at hacienda pinilla and it was the perfect spot. Great location, great service and a very fun time.

Hi Hugh We are so happy you all had a wonderful time and our home was a great choice for your group during your wedding . Please tell your friends And thank you for being awesome guests .

Our family throughly enjoyed our week.  Plenty of room and perfect for the grandchildren.  The concierge couldn’t have been more helpful with restaurant recommendations and reservations.  They also set up excursions for us!

We had a great vacation at Casa Marbella! Diana/home owner was great & responsive when needed. Mary with Costa Rica Concierge met us there when we arrived & also came the day we left. She took care of so many things for us! We appreciated all her help & communication. Veronica (house mom) was fantastic & her breakfasts were delicious! Chef Luis’ team cooked for us two nights (Chef Alonzo & Johan on arrival night and Chef Luis & Johan another night). Both Chefs were amazing & those were our favorite meals. The price for the chefs is worth it. We spent that much or more every night at restaurants. Go to Lola’s for a full beach day (you can reserve beach loungers & umbrellas online) & they will serve you drinks & food on the beach! We actually ate dinner there twice. We also took surf lessons there & it was fun! The golf course is nice & some of our group played every day (ask them about a family membership). Go to the neighborhood beach club & do the trail ride (horses) also. Have fun! ?

There were 14 of us and the house turned out to be perfect. Plenty of space for all ages. The kitchen was our hub and everyone just hung out in the very large great room that included the kitchen. Veronica, the housekeeper was definitely an asset. She was easy to be around and always willing to do anything for us or the children. Thank you.

Thank you Lorena for being our guests and for the 5 star review . We are so happy you all had a wonderful time .

Beautiful home and pool setting!  Loved the access to the beach club and JW Marriott.  The transportation arranged for the airport was amazing!

Casa Marbella was the perfect "home base" for our family's Costa Rica vacation. We had three generations - from grandparents to grandkids - and a family member with accessibility needs. Casa Marbella had it all, and Diana and the concierge team went out of their way to provide additional accommodations for our accessibility needs. Veronica was our house mom and kept the home clean, fixed breakfast, and was lovely to practice our Spanish with. The location was great and gave us a great jumping off point to explore the beautiful beaches and the transitional forest at El Rincon de la Vieja. An incredible trip that we will not forget!

Thank you Jessie for your wonderful 5 star review . We are so happy our home was a perfect choice for your group and we are so pleased you enjoyed your vacation . Please return or tell your friends Best Diana

It was a very nice home in a great neighborhood. Beach and Beach Club both very easy to get to. Housekeepers were very helpful and kept the house in great condition.

We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed our home and your vacation with us. Please tell your friends and thank you for booking with us. We appreciate your 5 star review. Best Diana

This home is beautiful and spacious. If you’re looking for a private more secluded area this is perfect for you. We were able to fit comfortably and the house had everything we needed. Diane and the concierge team were very responsive before and during the trip.

Hi Veronica Thank you for your 5 star review . So glad you and your group enjoyed your vacation at our home .

The place was exactly as described. We had 10 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. Had breakfast and most suppers outside by the pool. Working with the concierges provided (Brenda) was extremely helpful. She organized, shuttle services, tours, restaurant reservations and a catamaran and was very responsive to all of our questions during the stay. Veronica the chef / cleaner for the mornings was very helpful and friendly. She made all of our breakfasts and cleaned up any mess from the night before and had a great energy. We used the go carts to drive to the beach club (10 minute go kart ride) , pickle ball (10 minute go kart ride) and for suppers at the JW Marriott (5 minute go kart ride away). Beaches are great and very close and walkable to driveable with a car or go karts. We had a car to go into Tamarindo to get groceries and go to the beaches and restaurants there as well, only a 15-20 minute drive once you are out of the resort. Overall a

Beautiful property. Disappointing the pool was broken during our stay. Fortunately, the beach club (five minute drive from the property) offered a beautiful pool adjacent to the beach. Fantastic service from maid/Veronica and from concierge team; they were always responsive immediately to requests. Excellent food from chefs recommended by the concierge team.

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children enjoyed staying in this lovely home. The three adult couples each had their own bedroom and private bath and 3 more bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths gave us plenty of space for all the kids. The house is located in Hacienda Pinilla which is a gated community that is very tranquil. Even the howler monkeys were quiet while we were there! With beach-loving kids ages 8 years to 20 months, this house had easy access to wonderful, uncrowded beaches. Avellanas, Langosta and the Beach Club beach were our family’s favorites. The beach club had a wonderful pool which we all enjoyed. We were fortunate to get to watch baby sea turtles being released at the beach there as well. The private beach access for Hacienda Pinilla guests at Langosta beach had great palapas, lounge chairs, restrooms and showers. Avellanas beach was great for boogey boarding & surfing especially down by Lola’s. Sunsets & snorkeling at closest beach to the house were also a hit.

Thank you again for being such wonderful guests. We appreciate all the feedback.

Great house for a large group or family vacation

Thank you for your 5 star review. So happy you enjoyed your stay.

Thanks so much for renting us your home.  We had a great time.  Tim

Hi Tim, So thrilled you loved our home and vacation. Thank you so much for the 5 star review . We very much appreciate it and hope you will recommend us to your friends . Best regards Diana

This home is lovely and very spacious.  We had a group of 11 and never felt crowded. We loved the pool and sitting out in the beautiful backyard.  The kids loved seeing the monkeys moving through the backyard trees. The house is in a gated community and a very short walk to the beach.  This section of beach is fairly rocky so we didn't go there often.  There is a Beach Club in the community that you can use for a fee of $10 per person (over the age of 10... I think) but that amount is credited to your food/beverage bill.  We really loved the Beach Club!  The kitchen is well equipped and there is also a grill.  The only slight negative is that there are minimal pantry items stocked...just one small basket of spices.  There is no flour, sugar, tea, condiments, etc.  The concierge service was super helpful and communicated frequently.  They met us at the house when we checked in/out.  They also helped us with directions and booked activities for us including a photographer.

Thank you for your wonderful 5 star review.  We will address your suggestions and appreciate them.

The place was beautiful and Hacienda Panilla was very upscale and private. It was a luxurious place to stay and the concierge service was top notch. We always felt very well taken care of. We highly recommend staying there.

Thank you for your wonderful 5 star review We are delighted you enjoyed your stay, our home and the concierge service . Please tell your friends . Best Diana

This was a great property for a family trip.  Close enough to everything, yet private.  We felt very safe in this gated community.  The little down time we had, the kids really enjoyed the pool.  The host and concierge were very helpful from planning through departure. Highly Recommend.

We are delighted you enjoyed our home and vacation in wonderful Costa Rica. Thank you for your very positive review. Diana

We stayed at this home from May 18th-24th and had an amazing time! The home was clean and came with everything we needed. We had a total of 10 guest and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out, with 3 bedrooms upstairs and the remaining 4 bedrooms downstairs. We also were able to enjoy the pool every day and found pool noodles and life vest available for my son who also enjoyed the back yard! We also had the option to enjoy the propane grill and outdoor furniture in the back. One of the most beneficial aspects of this trip was Veronica! Every morning, she arrived and completed house duties such as making coffee, straightening up the main areas along with the bedrooms, completing laundry if needed, and offering to cook the food we purchased at the market. We even needed a dress ironed and she volunteered to do so and did it perfectly. She made the Airbnb worth it all on her own. For those who require technology in their rentals, this location would be a plus.

This place was stunning and every one of us throughly enjoyed our stay. The concierge service was immaculate! Omar is a blessing to know as a human being and such a joy. He’s always ready to help and be hands on. We anticipate making our trip to costa Rico biannually and hope Diana and Peter will have us back. Thank you so much for a wonderful place to holiday.

Hi Dean We are so pleased you had an amazing time and enjoyed your stay in our home. Thank you for being our guests . Welcome back anytime

Great place for a family stay in a private community. Centrally located with a short drive to surrounding beaches, restaurants, grocery stores and Tamarindo. Host was very friendly and Omar our concierge was exceptional at helping making our trip a memorable one.

This is a wonderful Costa Rica getaway. The home is amazing and spacious. The Beach Club  is a wonderful amenity. This house is located in a wildlife reserve complete with monkeys, iguana, deer and much more.

The concierge service & communication was wonderful. We loved the location.  The house plumping & cabinetry needs updated.

Hi Kellie Thank you for your review. We are updating next month with a brand new kitchen which will look awesome . Brand new toilets were installed 2 years ago , however plumbing is an issue all over Costa Rica no matter where you stay. We are happy you enjoyed your vacation in our home Best Diana .

We had a problem with the dishwasher and 18 people in the house, it was a necessity for us and Dany the coordinator of the house quickly found a solution for us! He always responded very quickly to our questions and even organized a catamaran outing for us! It was wonderful!!

Nous avons eu un pépin avec le lave-vaisselle et à 18 personnes dans la maison, c’était une nécessité pour nous et Dany le coordonnateur de la maison nous a rapidement trouver une solution ! Il a toujours répondu tres rapidement à nos questions et nous a même organiser une sortie en catamaran! C’était merveilleux !!

Our family of 12 had a wonderful stay at Casa Marbella. It’s more than big enough for all of us to sleep and enjoy the house comfortably. The staff are first class and will reply immediately with any questions you have. Dani went above and beyond to help us when we needed something. The community is very safe and the closest beach access is a short 5 minute walk away.

We are delighted you enjoyed our home and the beach area We hope you will tell your friends .

We had a great time in Costa Rica! The house is beautiful, elegant, and spacious enough to fit 14 people comfortably.

Beautiful home, perfect location.  We had 12 people ranging in ages from 19-81, everyone was happy.  Cynthia/Tatiana (house Mgr) handled everything we needed.  We hired Leydi (pronounced Lady) housekeeper to keep the house clean & prepare meals nightly.  The beach club is a wonderful way to spend the day.  Lots of surfing, zip lining, deep sea fishing & a few trips into Tamarindo.  We ventured into town several days to foodshop and stock the fridge.  Rented the golf cart which turned out to be a great addition.  There’s a beach a few steps away —everything is close, convenient & easy.  Double gated, we felt very safe.  We cannot wait to return!

Beautiful house and Diana has been very helpful in all what we need.

Great house in Hacienda Pinilla.  Very secure development.   A family of howler monkeys hung out in the backyard trees almost every morning.   You’ll need a rental car for sure if you want to see the town of Tamarindo or other places or groceries etc.

I highly recommend this home. Everything from beginning to end was exceptional.

We are so pleased you had a great time at our home. We very much appreciate your feedback and strive to please so that other future guests can make an informed decision Many thanks again

The house is spectacular and is in a perfect place with everything you need to have a great time, with very nice and quiet beaches. Diana and Cynthia are great hosts always looking to help and resolve unforeseen issues that may arise.  Highly recommended!!

La casa es espectacular y está en un lugar perfecto con todo lo necesario para pasarlo super bien, con playas muy bonitas y tranquilas. Diana y Cynthia son excelentes anfitriones siempre buscando ayudar y solucionar imprevistos que se puedan presentar.  Súper recomendada!!

We spent some incredible days with the family. The house is incredible, very spacious and with all the comforts. Unbeatable place, Costa Rica is a paradise on earth. The only thing that surpasses all the above is, the attention of the hosts, very special and always attentive. We hope to return.

It was a family trip. We had a great time. Cyn was an excellent host. The house is super comfortable, large and luxurious. I definitely recommend it and hope to be back soon!!!

Fue un viaje familiar la pasamos genial cyn fue una excelente anfitriona la casa es súper cómoda grande y lujoso definitivamente la recomiendo y espero volver pronto!!!

Muchas Gracias Fue nuestro placer acomodar a su grupo y nos alegramos mucho que lo pasaron tan bien. Ojalá decidan volverse Diana y Peter

We had a wonderful stay at Diana and Peter’s villa!  The home was even better than expected- if that’s even possible!! The home was very well stocked with anything one could need... plenty of beach towels, a cooler, kitchen supplies, and basic cooking supplies. Cynthia, the house manager, was delightful to work with and extremely quick and responsive. Every suggestion she had was fantastic, and she was able to set everything up for us. A catamaran day trip, full day tour, restaurant recommendations, ATV excursion, surfing lessons. You name it!! And the housekeeper, Miss Lady was wonderful as well. She even prepped and cooked dinner for us one night  and it was amazing!! Thank you so much for your lovely hospitality and we look forward to coming back!!

This place is a must stay! The house really is exactly what you get from the pictures! The best touch of the whole place is Cynthia! She is truly spectacular!

Thank you Rebecca We are so happy you and your group loved the house and had a great stay . Also glad Cyn was so helpful.

The house was amazing! Cynthia responded quickly and was able to give us lots of recommendations for food, shopping, and activities in the area and even arranged transport for 8 people!! Leidi was a fabulous cook and housekeeper, I highly reccomend having her cook a few meals during your stay!!

Hi Melisa, We are so pleased you loved our home, meals Leidi cooked and had an amazing time.  Thank you for being such great guests.

July 2019. 5 adults, 6 children. This house was a really good fit for our family. There are stairs, but they have a baby gate available at the house. Location was great. The beach club was fantastic and nearby beaches were easily accessible. We also went to the JW for dinner a couple of nights. I recommend the golf cart to get around, but it is not absolutely necessary...there is plenty of parking at all of the beaches for cars. We also opted for maid service most days for cooking and cleaning. The food was really good and our maid was very sweet and accommodating.

The house was very large and plenty big for my family. Everything was clean and ready for us. The best part of the house was the help from Cynthya, she helped us book trips and arrange dinner a few times. She was awesome! The house is a few blocks from the beach which we wish would have been closer to it but overall, we had a great experience!

So glad you enjoyed the house and had a great time. We love our manager Cyn. Regarding the beach the nearest of 5 is 100 yards down the street 3 mins walk.. the other beaches are 3-5 minutes drive so I imagine you were referring to the beach by the Beach Club which is a 20 min walk .

The house is perfect for a large group with common areas & areas for privacy. We used two golf carts for 11 of us & were able to get to the beach club & Marriott easily. Cynthia, the manager, helped with adventures and any concerns with the house. Leydi cooked delicious dinners for us. We were able to walk to the tide pools and used Tamarindo Family Portrait to capture our memories. Thank you to Diane & Peter for sharing this experience.

3 couples stayed at this beautiful, very well kept location.  We had a wonderful week.

Thank you So happy you had an awesome time and loved the house and location. Come back anytime. It was our pleasure.

This is an outstanding tuscan style villa with wonderful, responsive hosts.  It was immaculate, safe, beautifully and comfortably decorated, and located steps away from a gorgeous, secluded beach.  We went snorkeling at this beach and saw a surprising amount of diversity including new coral, eels, rooster fish, skipjacks and a host of other small colorful fish.  Also the villa was a short 20 minute drive to two of the best surfing beaches in Tamarindo where our family spent hours and hours surfing waves that were great for both beginner and seasoned surfers.  We would HIGHLY recommend this villa!!!

We are thrilled you had a fantastic time. Yes it's perfect that we have 2 surfing beaches within 5-8 minutes from our home 2 snorkeling beaches , one down the street and the other by the JW Marriott as well as the surfing beaches in Tamarindo 20 mins away. I'm glad you were able to enjoy them all. Thank you for being such wonderful guests. Until next time.....

Staying at Casa Marbella was a wonderful beginning to my family’s vacation in Costa Rica. This beautiful home easily accommodated the 8 adults and 3 children in our group.  Diana and Peter’s home is beautifully furnished, well maintained and well appointed. If you’re planning to cook, the kitchen is stocked with lots of pot, pans, serving dishes and kitchen utensils.  They also provide lots of beach towels, boogie boards and other beach accessories for your time on the Pacific or at the pool. We also took advantage of renting their golf cart. Since we did not have rental cars on our first day, we used the cart to go to the Beach Club, the beach, to check out the Hacienda Panilla Resort and to go to the Marriott to pick up our rental cars. Access to the Beach Club is also a nice amenity that is included with the stay. The Beach Club has a pool, spa services, restaurant, bar and beach access. Although there is a $10 fee, you can apply the fee towards drinks or food at the restaurant. Diana was a great host.  She was prompt in responding to my questions and sent follow-up emails to make sure my family was ready for our stay at Casa Marbella.  Cynthya was an awesome concierge. She arranged for a home cooked dinner for my family on the night of our arrival, as well as purchased some basic groceries.  She also offered helpful advice about things to see and places to eat in Tamarindo. If you’re planning to stay in the Tamarindo area with family or a group of friends, you will be in good hands in choosing Casa Marbella.

My family of 10 recently had the amazing experience of staying here at Casa Marbella. It's conveniently located about 15-20 minutes from downtown Tamarindo. The home is located in a gated community within a gated community, so there are 2 checkpoints to get to the house, making it extremely safe. Cyn, the property manager (an fluent English speaker), was incredibly helpful. Before we arrived, she had reached out to us and provided us with everything we needed to know in order to make the experience as seamless as possible. She met us at the house for check-in, and check-out. Once we arrived, she kept in touch with us to make sure that we had everything that we needed. She even booked some tours for us. I cannot thank her enough for her gracious hospitality. The house itself was immaculate, and had more than enough room for the 10 of to spread out and make ourselves comfortable. There are 6 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms, which is extremely nice when there are 10 people getting ready for the day. The pool that you see in the photos may look small, but that is not the case, and it was great to be able to have a daily dip. We spent hours upon hours in the pool. There's a beach club a few minutes away (25 minutes to walk) that is an unbelievable value. There is a $10 dollar entrance fee, but you're given a $10 voucher for food and drinks, so it evens out. At the beach club, there is a large pool, beach access, a very nice restaurant, and a small outdoor bar. This is a great place to have dinner and watch the sunset. You can even walk south along the beach to another great restaurant called Lola's, which we highly recommend. There are also 2 housekeepers that you can hire to come in and cook and clean, which we cannot recommend enough. They charge a small hourly rate, and as long as you provide the food, they'll make some incredible local meals. We would do the grocery shopping, head out for the day, and come home to a great homecooked meal, and clean house. We made sure to do it on one of the first night to see how it was. It was as good as it sounds, so we did it a few more evenings as well. Try it, you will NOT regret it. As far as amenities, Casa Marbella has everything you could ask for. Plenty of towels and beach towels, fast reliable internet, air conditioning in every room, toilet paper, a full kitchen. Basically, if you needed it, it's there. All in all, Casa Marbella was home away from home. Having such a nice place to return to every night made the trip as special as it was. This was truly one of the nicest Airbnb homes we've stayed at, and you will not be disappointed.

This is a wonderful home!  We had our family of 12 people and we had plenty of space for everyone!  The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need!  We really enjoyed the beaches close by.  We visited in October so we were worried about rain, but we had beautiful weather the entire time and enjoyed all the beaches and activities all to ourselves. Cynthia was amazing and set up tours last minute for us even though she was out of town.  It is a bit of a drive into the town of Tamarindo, but once you grocery shop, all you need is right there! We would highly recommend this home if you’re planning a visit to the Tamarindo area!

This place is just as it looks on photos: super spacious, large open areas, 2 superb bedrooms on the top floor, yet the other rooms are comfortable as well... fully furnished, great outdoor sets and fully equipped kitchen... you could easily spend the whole time in there without leaving! Thanks for having us 

All I have to say is...simply amazing!  Our family of 5 had a wonderful time in this fabulous house in Costa Rica.  The house was clean, comfortable, centrally located and beautifully decorated.  Cyn was THE BEST and gave us great advice on what to do in the area.  She arranged EVERYTHING for us...and was truly amazing!  We were visited by Howler monkeys, made good use of the golf cart for getting around and enjoyed every single meal we ate.  (Patagonia in Tamerindo, Lola's and the restaurant at the Beach Club were some of our favorites!)  These were all perfectly recommended by Diana and Cyn.  I cannot recommend this house enough.  We walk away with wonderful memories that we were able to create as a family in this beautiful home...many thanks!

Thank you for all your feedback . We really appreciate it and we are so happy you had an amazing time. Glad the golf cart was put to good use too and it's really fun to get around on it. We love Cyn and she is like family to us and very efficient and sweet. Many thanks to you and your family too. Diana

We had a amazing time. Cynthia is a great asset and made sure we were taken care of from restaurants and activities for both booking and recommendations. Everything she recommended was superb. She went above and beyond to make sure our trip was great. Location was great being close to town, beach club and other options like JW Marriott.

We are thrilled you and your group and family had an amazing time and kudos to our wonderful manager for making it even more special. Thank you for being such great guests and hope you return in the future or recommend us to your friends.  Diana

This house is amazing. What’s more amazing is the property manager Cynthia. She is just a phone call or WhatsApp message away to answer and assist all needs ( excursions, transportation, dining, WiFi,etc...) The monkeys outside by the pool in the trees was a great sight to see. Also, a must is using the maid service. We loved it.

Glad you had an awesome time and Cyn was there to help. Yes we love Cyn, our manager. She is like family .

Unbeatable , excellent place to rest and enjoy with the best comfort , nearby beach and tranquility for the family.

Inmejorable , exelente lugar para descansar y disfrutar con la mejor comodidad , playa cercanas y tranquilidad para la familia..

We had 9 ladies visiting Costa Rica to celebrate birthdays and we had a BLAST!  Plenty of room for everyone.  The beds were very comfortable and there were lots of amenities.  I definitely recommend hiring the maids for cooking & cleaning.  They made our stay enjoyable and they were truly delightful.  Cyn was very responsive to any requests or questions.  We enjoyed use of the Beach Club, fell in love with Lola's, Dragonfly restaurant was excellent.

Diana's home was a great spot for our family vacation! The house was lovely, the pool was beautiful and the neighborhood was very safe. We had plenty of space for our group of 9 to spread out but also be together comfortably to cook dinners, and relax. We even had an iguana and a group of howler monkey's join us (at a safe distance in the trees) one afternoon while we relaxed by the pool. The house was in a great location and had excellent amenities. It had walkable beach access and was just minutes drive to the beach club and JW Marriott. Tamarindo, and other neat spots (Lola's) were >30 minutes away and easily accessible with our rental car! It did take a bit longer to get to some excursions outside of the area than what we had expected but overall couldn't ask for a better location. I definitely recommend this location for those visiting Costa Rica.

Thank you Michael We are so pleased you loved the house and your vacation in Costa Rica.. Diana

The house is as-advertised — beautiful and great for large groups.  There is a lovely beach about a 5 minute walk away — turn right from the house, walk 5 minutes, and you’ll see a paved path to the left..  a few things weren’t working quite right when we arrived (WiFi, one of the AC units), but they had just been through a huge storm, and were extremely diligent about getting repairs done.  Definitely hire the ladies to cook and clean — makes life a lot easier, for moderate cost.

Beautiful home! It was comfortable and in a safe location. Perfect for large groups of all ages.

We were a family of nine, including 3 teenagers, celebrating my 70th birthday.  The owner and property manager were available to answer our numerous questions and make suggestions prior to our trip.  The home was lovely and beautifully furnished (as beautiful, or better than the pictures on airbnb)!  The grounds were lush, beautiful, and well maintained.  We had lots of private space for all of us, and at the same time, the family areas were great for the family to get together.  The beach was close by, but we enjoyed congregating around the pool.  Whenever we had a question or needed a reservation for dinner or other family activities, Cynthia and Peter were just a phone call away (a phone for local calls was available).  I would highly recommend this property!  

Don't think just book it. Very close to JW Marriott and hacienda beach club. Very nice home with all the comforts.

Incredible property for multiple families. Two huge master bedrooms. Great service. Wonderful all around. 

We visited Casa Marbella for a week and it was wonderful! The house was beautiful and we had howler monkeys visit us three of the days that we were there. The house manager, Cyn, was great - she not only suggested great restaurants but also set up a few reservations for us. Patagonia Steakhouse was so good we went twice! The pool at the house is the perfect for a relaxing swim. I would definitely recommend using the beach club, it's beautiful and the food is really good for lunch. Overall, we had a great trip and would recommend Diana, Cynthia and Casa Marbella to anyone!

Casa Marbella is a beautiful, spacious, comfortable home that exceeded our expectations. It is quiet and peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway with a group of friends and family. It is very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. We were especially happy with how acommodating Diana and Cynthia are and how clean and equipped the kitchen was. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Great home, comfortable beds and close to beaches. Definitely recommend this home if you are traveling to the Tamarindo area. 

Diana and her local property manager Cynthia were fantastic.  Very easy to communicate with and when our flight was delayed 9 hours and we got in late they both went above and beyond to try and help us out and make our arrival as smooth as possible.  

What a wonderful house and neighborhood!  Cynthia was extremely helpful and timely while answering my questions and helping set up some excursions.  The beach club was a great addition and everyone in our group loved it.

The house was beautiful. It is great for large groups. The host was very responsive and understanding. It is in a very safe community and just a short trip to town. I would recommend this house 100% 

The stay at Diana's was perfect. The house is also very nice, it is super cozy and invites you to enjoy it 24 hours a day.  Ideal for sharing with a group and enjoying a good barbecue taking bathrooms in the pool. I would definitely again the experience.

La estancia en casa de Diana ha sido perfecta. La casa además de muy bonita, es súper acogedora e invita a disfrutarla las 24 horas del día.  Ideal para compartir con un grupo y disfrutar de un buen asado dándose unos baños en la piscina. Sin duda repetiría la experiencia.

This place lived up to my expectations and more.  It was great and the visit from the Howler monkeys one morning really made it delightful for all the kids.  We had three families stay with us and it was big enough for us to group for dinner but roomy enough that we did not even know others were in the house at night.  Definitely recommend this place.  Additionally, Hacienda Pinilla was fantastic.  The security in this area made us feel very comfortable.  The guards got to know us so made it easy to access.  Our concierge, Cynthyia also provide great recommendations and was easy to get a hold of for all kinds of questions.  I would not hesitate in recommending this place to a friend again.

This home is gorgeous, spotless, well equipped and a short drive to the beach club, which was the site of my wedding. The beach club has an awesome infinity pool, stunning beach and really delicious food. It was all even more beautiful and magical than I'd imagined! Cynthia, our concierge for the home, was beyond incredible and made our trip unforgettable. I cannot recommend this home enough! I can't wait to go back!!!!

Thank you Amanda.. We are thrilled you loved our home and had an unforgettable time. We would love to host you again. Diana

The inquiry and reservation process was great. Diana was outstanding in communicating back and forth and clearing up all our doubts prior to the trip. Once we got there, Cynthia, the house manager was there to greet us and provide us to instructions to the place and area.  The house is amazing! The areas are large - the kitchen, the 2 living rooms and each of the masters upstairs. The amenities within the house make it perfect for cooking, enjoying music and just relaxing. There is A/C and fans throughout this luxury house making it pleasant for every area.  The pool is just perfect!!! The absolute silence around with a large lap pool for you makes it a sumptuous retreat place to just relax.  The neighborhood is ultra safe. Two security guard check points with roving security in cars makes you feel absolutely safe. The house has an extra long driveway and covered garage for you to have an added level of security.  The area is beautiful! We have been many times to Hacienda Pinilla (and all throughout South America and Europe) and this is still one of the nicest areas for me. It is close by to everything (15 mins in car) yet far enough that you are in your own slice of heaven.  We highly recommend going to the Beach Club which is $10 per adult (13 and over), otherwise there is no charge for kids, and you can use this amount towards any meal or drinks. The place is wuaint and not crowded with excellent food.  If you don't have a car rental you may want to rent the golf cart from Diana or from the club. It is a must as the distances are a bit too far, but you could go for a great walk and exercise run.  In summary, the place is great, well kept and with high standards. If you want a daily maid or chef Diana can arrange one and it is worth it if you like to truly detach and relax.  Anyway, this is a great option to spend "Pura Vida" time in Costa Rica. Enjoy!!!

We very much enjoyed the house. It was big, spacious, and clean!

Casa Marbella was beautiful. The house had everything you needed and the staff were wonderful.The 11 of us enjoyed our stay and exploring the grounds. There were lots to do and we were very close to the town. We had 5 couples and a single person in our group. The house was listed as a 6 bedroom home, but unfortunately one of the bedroom upstairs was extremely small to be considered a bedroom. We made the best of it and enjoyed the beautiful pool. Everyone in the group expressed that it was the best vacation ever! We would recommend Casa Marbella. Pura Vida!

Thank you for your review. Bedroom 3 is described as a STUDY with a trundle twin suitable for 2 children or a tight king. The photo adequately shows a smaller room described as a study with a window /blinds  and a minispit A/C.    I 'm sorry about  this misunderstanding, although I believe it was clear from the description and the photo. So glad that in all other respects your group had a wonderful time.

The home is fantastic. It fit a large group comfortably and is in great shape. Hacienda Pinilla is top notch luxury. The wildlife was fun and the kids really liked the fruit bats and iguanas. Coming from a large city, the stars are breathtaking. The multiple security gates / walking guards is kind of nice for those who worry about theft (my business partner had the rental he went to in Tamarindo after our stay at this home broken into, so there is value).  We spent a bunch of time at the beach club, which had excellent drinks and food, and the kids got to play while some of us got to surf. You had to pay $10 to get in, but could spent it on refreshments, so not an issue. They are closed on Tuesdays!  The wave at Avellanas is worth traveling for. Even in the off season, there was something to surf every day.  The second half of our trip was a work retreat and while the wifi at the house was not good enough for work, the beach club has solid internet access, so all went well.   The property manager was very friendly and accommodated our arrival schedule. There was an issue afterwards regarding bleach spots on some sheets, which no one on our side can figure out. Best guess it was perhaps done by the maids? So far, the owner has been polite while asking for us to buy new sheets and my hope is that we can find a reasonable resolution.

Thank you Shane, We are so happy you loved the house and enjoyed your stay and the linen problem got solved. Please visit us again. Diana

I want to thank you for the good treatment and respect with which we were treated , the quick and attentive response from both Diana and her administrator Cinthya . This is a beautiful house! It deserves to be lived in, nothing is missing and the environment where it is located is of a wild beauty. I just have to say pure life

Quiero agradecer el buen trato y el respeto con el que se nos a tratado , la respuesta rapida y atenta tanto de Diana como de su administradora Cinthya . Es una casa hermosa ! Merece ser vivida, no le falta nada y el entorno donde se ubica es de una bellesa salvaje. Solo me resta decir pura vida

Hola Gustavo Fue un placer tener a su familia en nuestra casa. Estamos muy contentos que la casa y el ambiente eran mas lo que uds esperaban. Cynthya es maravillosa y casi familia. Ojala nos mande sus amigos y familiares en el futuro. Un saludo cordial Diana y Peter
