My friends and I had a great time during my bachelor trip! Elsa was very helpful and responds very quickly. The staff working at the house were amazing, definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Antonio! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great time and that Elsa and the rest of the team were able to take good care of you throughout your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Pura Vida!

We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that was inconvenient was there wasn’t much to do around the house. Walking to the resort area was pretty far and the food was mediocre. The house was great and the house mom, Keyla, was AMAZING! Can’t say enough good about Keyla and Elsa was super responsive to all of our requests. We hired chef services to come in and cook us breakfast and dinners which made things a lot easier. Getting around wasn’t easy though. We ended up renting a golf cart which helped a lot but we were only able to drive it around the resort. We ended up finding a local who picked us up and drove us around. That was awesome. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and we did enjoy the pool.

Amazing support, cleaning, great Appliances. It was I nice vacation

The concierge Elsa provided excellent service, and our family love the service Diane gave us as the house host.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Tom! We’re so glad to hear that Diana, our house mom, and Elsa, our concierge, helped make your stay so enjoyable. Pura Vida!

If you are staying in Tamarindo, you absolutely have to stay in Tamarindo—specifically at Villa Uana. From the moment we arrived, the experience was incredible. Elsa, the host, kindly waited for us until we arrived for check-in and provided fantastic recommendations for things to do around the area. Diana was truly exceptional. Her level of service, professionalism, and warmth was felt by everyone in our group of 13. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. The property itself is beautiful and equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need. We completely fell in love with Hacienda Pinilla, and Villa Uana was a huge part of that experience. Diana’s hospitality and the charm of the villa made our stay unforgettable. We would absolutely return again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Uana. Diana our house staff was absolutely wonderful. She made breakfast, lunch, snacks, helped do laundry and kept the house so clean every day. She definitely made the experience really nice and her food presentation was amazing. She was wonderful. The house was perfect for our girls grip and the neighborhood is very safe and gated. Check in was smooth and easy, the house manager is very responsive and helpful. I recommend getting your groceries on the way into the villa as traffic can be bad or unpredictable and the grocery stores are all on the way before you get to Hacienda Pinilla. Other than that, the house has everything you need and we had a wonderful experience. I would go back.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Devin! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay at Villa Uana. We truly appreciate your wonderful words about Diana. It means a lot to us that you had such a great experience, and we would love to welcome you back anytime.

Thank you, Reed & Suz, glad you loved the house and enjoyed your stay. We’d love to welcome you back!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The house and property were beautiful and so clean! Elisa and Diana made the stay so memorable and special- the food was delicious! We visited in the rainy season but had plenty of sunshine during our whole stay! We were able to see a pair of parrots at the house and monkeys right down the road!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Corrine! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time at Villa Uana, and that Elsa and Diana helped make your stay even more enjoyable. We truly hope to welcome you back soon!

Everything was excellent, ideal for traveling with the family

Excelente todo ideal para viajar en Familia

Great place and terrific management company. Diana was wonderful. Her breakfast was always delicious and she did such a great job keeping the house spotless. Enjoyed having our clothes washed and folded every day. The concierge, Elsa, was terrific. They have their own private tours which were so easy to plan and excellent. She arrange a fishing trip which was great. Issues that would arise with the house were immediately addressed. Stay in Tamarindo is the best management company I have experienced. This house was also perfect and Hacienda Pinilla was great. Definitely rent a car. It was easy to get to beach club, hotel, Playa Langosta (‘y favorite) and golf, tennis and bike center. The service at the beach club was great. Having the Pinilla market so close by was very convenient. This was definitely a great stay.

Everything was great about the house, the location and proximity to tamarindo. It fit 5 couples perfectly and the outdoor space was amazing. But what made this place outstanding was the house lady Diana, not only is she amazing at her job but her demeanor and warm personality made this place feel like home. She made us breakfast for every morning and worked around different peoples schedule and she went above and beyond. The host Elsa was also amazing and super attentive the whole trip. The whole team made the experience go above and beyond. The only negative was hacienda Pinilla itself where a lot of the amenities were closed or closed early because no one was working or other random reasons but besides that 5/5

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and taking such wonderful care!  It was so helpful to have Anika at the house to help with cooking and cleaning!  It was a wonderful vacation!

Thanks Jenni, for your lovely review! Glad you all had a great time, Pura Vida

The villa is absolutely beautiful, the pics don’t do it justice! We loved our trip and Elsa was the best from start to finish. She suggested and booked things for my large group and was always responsive. The villa is in a super secure location so that made us comfortable being it was only girls. Rosa was a delight every morning making sure we were fed and the house was cleaned. The only concern we had was the slight infestation of bugs at the time. We couldn’t leave food on the counters for more than 10 minutes without seeing bugs crawling on it. But after sending pics and concerns to Elsa, they had an exterminator come out and fix it. Overall, great stay!

Thanks Autie! We are happy to hear you had a wonderful time and like the property, and that the house mom and Elsa helped you to have a great vacation. It's great that the bugs report was attended and fixed in a timely manner 😊

Muchas gracias Nelson :) les esperamos de nuevo pronto.

The place was beautiful and spacious. Dianna was the best she took great care of us and kept the place spotless throughout the stay. She was an incredible cook and person. The beach club was first class and had breath taking sunsets!

Thank you so much for your review Brian! We are very happy to hear you had such a wonderful time at Villa Uana, thank you for choosing Stay in Tamarindo

The house suited its purpose perfectly. Pictures were close to accurate. Was sometimes difficult getting guests in and out of Pinilla but host was very communicative which helped. The house mom Diana was incredible with keeping things clean and cooking breakfast for everyone.

Thank you for your review, Nic. We are very happy to hear you had a wonderful time at Villa Uana and that Elsa and the house mom helped you have a better time during your vacations. We are sorry you had to experience some difficulties to get through the Security Gate. We hope we get to see you around again in the near future!

The house, Villa Uana, is BEAUTIFUL. We truly enjoyed the entire vibe of the home and everyone had their own room and bathrooms. It sleeps 14 comfortably, 16 if you want to utilize an air mattress. Please note: THIS HOUSE IS NOT IN TAMARINDO. It is located approximately 30 min from Tamarindo and you will need to plan accordingly, if you plan to be in the town often. The house mom works 8-4pm Monday-Saturday and does not work on Sundays, as it is a rest day. This may help you plan your stay better, knowing her schedule. The house mom, Diana, was PHENOMENAL. We all truly enjoyed the effort she put into making the vacation a dream. When utilizing concierge, double check all reservations prior to arrival to ensure everyone is on the same page and to decrease the chance of day-of concerns.

Thank you for your review, Kadija. We are happy to hear you truly enjoyed the vibe of the house and the house mom services. We appreciate your advice to our future guests about the house location. That's right, the house is located in a private and safe community known as Hacienda Pinilla, just 20 minutes away from Tamarindo. If you plan to be in town often, we always recommend our guests rent a car to have more freedom and flexibility or have a golf cart to move around the community, the Beach Club, and the JW Marriott. Regarding our concierge services, as you said, it is highly recommended to double-check the itinerary with all the arrangements previously coordinated through the concierge, as it is not unrealistic to think that sometimes things might go wrong. However, you can be 100% confident that our concierge will be there for you every time you need it, as we are all fully committed to guaranteeing the best and most seamless experiences during your vacations. Once again, we truly appreciate your visit and we hope to see you soon. Pura Vida

This was my favorite vacation ever. I was nervous to do an airbnb in another country, but this home was perfect! Spacious, but not too big. Many bedrooms and bathrooms to go around. The house mom and concierge are extremely helpful and the pool was fantastic. Absolutely 5/5 stars.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Toula! It was great to host you and we are happy you enjoyed the services and the house. Thank you for choosing us, hope to see you again. Pura Vida!

What a beautiful home to spend a birthday vacation with friends. This house definitely matched the photos of the listing. Deana, the house mom, was amazing. She went above and beyond; always helpful with a smile on her face. Our large group took full advantage of all the amenities offered. Elsa was very prompt to respond to any issue or questions about the house. Only downside to this house was that it’s actually 30 mins outside of Tamarindo and not walking distance to the places we anticipated on going to. You most definitely need some form of arranged transportation. Other than that, I highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again next time I come to Costa Rica. Pura Vida :)

Thank you for your review, Michelle! We are happy to hear you enjoyed Diana's services and Elsa's, the concierge. It was a pleasure to host you and glad to know you enjoyed your Birthday as deserved. We appreciate your recommendation. Having your own rental car or a golf cart is always what we suggest to our guests as Villa Uana is located in the private community known as Hacienda Pinilla, and it would help to have more flexibility to go to town, restaurants, or even to the groceries shops, however, the guests always decides what's most convenient for them. Thank you very much for staying with us!

Not as pristine as I expected! The hot water consistently stayed off during our stay and me and my husband had to use someone else’s shower to take a HOT shower// so annoyed!! The fire pit was not working upon arrival, had to call someone to come handle that and had to wait a day to enjoy that. Pool stays full of bugs, must call someone to clean it or clean it yourself. The house mom is sweet as pie, but her presence felt like we were being  chaperoned. We were cooking our own breakfast and she insisted on helping, not sure if we were doing something wrong but I think she should work as requested.

Thank you for your notes, Tracy. We are sorry to hear you had a few items that weren't as you expected. We sent our maintenance team a few times to show you how to turn the handles on the showers to have the hot water running, as we know the one in the master needs to be turned in a certain position to provide hot water, but it was working perfectly during your stay and we showed to you a few times. As your check in was late, we couldn't come to fix the fire pit immediately since the report came late at night, but we took care of it first thing the next morning and it was working great after it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Having a few bugs in the pool is very common during the rainy season, the guest manager came personally to check the pool and there were just 5, as we took pictures of it for the report, but our team came to clean the pool as soon as possible. This is actually very common in Costa Rica and hard to avoid, but our team did its best to help you with that. The house mom, as we indicated in the Check in Instructions and during the Check in, can assist with the breakfast preparation and the daily cleaning, however, it's always an option to request not to have her at the house during the entire stay or just a few hours. We appreciate your notes as these help us to get better and we hope you had a good time here with us after all. As always, our team did the best to assist you and accomplish your standards. Pura Vida!

Our stay in Tamarindo was amazing! We had guest of 15 and were able to comfortably enjoy our stay. The pictures don’t do this space justice at all! It’s so beautiful in person. Every room has a bathroom, towels were changed daily, house mom was there 8-4pm daily, and many accommodations were made for us. Special thanks to Elsa for getting us prepped and ready before our travel. I’m the type of planner to have everything arranged and planned before arrival and Elsa made sure we were good to go. She arranged excursions, caterers, massage therapist, nurses, and more! She checked on us daily and made sure things were running smoothly! Second and third special thanks goes to Diana our house mom and Eddie our tour guide driver! They made our stay extra special with their kindness and knowledge of the land. Our stay is about 20-25 minutes away from downtown Tamarindo. We rented multiple cars so this drive wasn’t bad at all. I recommend rental cars if you plan to travel outside of Tamarindo or see yourself going downtown often. It’s easier and Uber can get pretty tricky or not show up! Nightlife was good! There’s a ton of beach bars (Pacifico, Sharkys, etc) that play an abundance of music genres! We met some cool people that recommended other nearby jungle and beach parties nearby. If you have time, see about traveling outside of Tamarindo to visit other beaches as well. Elsa will send a list of bars and restaurants she recommends to try during your stay! Overall, this stay was one for the books and I HIGHLY recommend you book your stay in Tamarindo!

Thank you so much for your sweet review, Camille! It was a pleasure to host you and your group and we are extremely happy to hear you had a great Birthday celebration! We all are very glad to hear you had a good time with us at Villa Uana, and appreciate your nice words about Elsa and Diana's services. Hope to see you again sometime soon!

Our stay was INCREDIBLE from top to bottom. Elsa (our concierge) helped us with every element of our trip including transportation, activities, local food recommendations, pre-stocking of groceries and even scheduling our Covid tests. We had a group of 13 friends and the home was spacious and comfortable for all. We spent almost all of our time enjoying the beautiful backyard. Everything was spotless and comes with all the necessities you would want. The location is tucked away in a quiet and very safe community. Just close enough to Tamarindo to enjoy a night out for dinner but far enough away that it feels like a retreat of its own. The neighborhood grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Diana (the house mom) was so sweet and helped with everything around the house including dishes, laundry, tidying up the home and meals. Each morning she prepared a breakfast spread outside for us including coffee, juices, fruit and our preferences for the day. Our favorite meal being a local favorite that she recommended. This took all the stress out of the trip and provided the relaxation of booking a hotel. This home was a 10/10 and I would recommended it to anyone visiting the area!

Thank you Heather for your kind review! We are very happy to know you had an incredible stay and loved the house and area. It was a pleasure to host you and assist you before and during your stay. Thank you again for choosing us and recommending us and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future. Pura Vida!

We were there two families over Easter and we had a wonderful stay.  The villa is so nice and the outdoor area where we spent most of our time was to die for.  The details like having a fridge and ice machine outside was the best.  The villa manager always available to cater to all our needs, guide us and give information.  Last but certainly not least  the house mom was the best, she made great breakfast, lunch, snacks and cocktails.  She also kept everything spotless so there was nothing for us to do but enjoy.  Thanks so much and we hope to see you again in the future.

Thank you for your kind words, Hjordis! It was great to have you at Villa Uana, and we hope to see you soon. Pura Vida!
