Overall: terrific stay, very responsive host, & fantastic house. The house was a ton of fun, outdid expectations & we were very happy w/ our stay— especially enjoyed the movie theater, beds, & room arrangements (some in the house, some outside).

Our stay, generally speaking, was very good. The house is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. There were three families with eight children and six adults, and the space worked perfectly. The surroundings of Hacienda Pinilla are extraordinary, and the staff who looked after us during our stay were always very friendly and helpful, both with breakfast and with preparing meals. Unfortunately, on the second day we realized that cash had disappeared from inside the house. We cannot say what happened or who was responsible, but this event completely changed our experience, since for the rest of the stay we lived with worry and insecurity, having to constantly guard our belongings. We decided to report this situation to the manager at check-out to avoid conflicts during the stay. Initially, he showed a willingness to look into what happened, but then he stopped responding to our messages and

Amazing place to stay for a girls trip! Each room has a king bed and private bathroom which is a must with so many ladies! Eylin was amazing! She delicious cooked breakfast every morning and kept our bedrooms and spaces clean and tidy. We did our own laundry but Eylin made sure our bathroom and pool towels were always clean and ready to go. The theater room was a super fun bonus and the living room was a great space to hang out. The kitchen AC was out and made the morning hours a bit warm but the room ACs were deliciously cold and comfortable. Ricardo was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The included shuttle service to and from the airport was a nice touch and we ended up hiring them for individual tours which were personal and we felt safe. We will be back for sure. Pura Vida!

Eylin was an excellent cook and housekeeper and she went above and beyond for us. Take my advice and buy your own groceries for her to cook. It will save you a lot of money. Even the excursions you can probably save money to book yourself, but it is very convenient to allow Ricardo book it for you and make all the arrangements. We did not rent a car. One could have definitely been useful. We Ubered to Tamarindo twice, and that’s not easy because of the security gate. We walked twice to the beach (which is a long walk with kids) because of the exorbitant cost of the golf cart. One thing we had a difficult time with is getting clear instructions on how to get to the beach or the beach club. Overall, we recommend this house. It’s lovely and can sleep a big family.

The villa is beautiful and located in a great area of Hacienda Pinilla. Ricardo was excellent before our arrival, coordinating transportation, excursions, groceries, golf carts, restaurant recommendations, and a private cook. The cook was phenomenal & prepared some of the best meals of our trip. Guests should note the villa is two separate buildings, with four bedrooms detached from the main house. Unfortunately, several issues impacted our stay: overpurchased groceries, malfunctioning locks, a primary suite keypad that repeatedly stopped working, a bedroom with ongoing bug issues despite being sprayed, a golf cart key also disappeared from the kitchen island while we were away, & we were charged for its replacement. Additionally, a guest had $500 cash go missing, but Ricardo replaced upon our departure. Many dishes, cups, mugs were chipped, cloudy, worn. The back of the property is also very dark at night. For the price of this luxury rental, we expected better upkeep & security.

I really enjoyed my 4-night stay with 7 people for my bachelor party. Ricardo was always responsive and if we had any issues, he had workers fix them immediately. The ladies who prepared breakfast and cleaned were very helpful and kind. I would recommend booking with Ricardo.

A good space for our large group of 11. Pool is perfect with shallow areas to sit and relax. Huge outdoor couches with umbrellas for lounging. The included Costa Rican breakfast was tasty. Our chef/housekeepers were kind and helpful! A/C is great! Overall, not worth the price. Cramped indoor dining area. Felt too crowded to all eat at the kitchen island and too many mosquitos to eat outside. Ricardo was not straightforward about groceries/cost for our chef cooked meals. We did not receive an itemized receipt and there is a 35% fee added to total. Backyard looks at golf course with no fence/plant barrier (although easy to spot birds and monkeys in open area). A/C did not work in one room and was not fixed while we were there. Inconvenient location for activities, great if you only want to be at airbnb. Recommend renting a car and not ordering extra chef meals.

We booked this home expecting a true luxury experience based on the description. It was a significant disappointment, especially for the price. While the layout and location are good, the condition, maintenance, and overall finish are far below what’s advertised. That said, Ricardo, the property manager, was attentive and great to work with. He helped coordinate excursions and arranged a private chef dinner, which was fantastic (though notably, the chef had no proper serving dishes to use). Key issues: Exposed wiring around the outdoor fire pit Wires hanging loose behind TVs Safe not secured to the wall (visible holes and screws where it had been attached to the wall) so it could just be picked up Pool maintenance issues, including loose filter covers and a protruding screw sticking up from the bottom on the pool Several toilets that didn’t flush properly or kept running Kitchen not properly equipped (no serving dishes, mismatched/chipped dinnerware, scratched plastic cups) Poor bui

We had an amazing trip to Costa Rica! I traveled in a group of 9 and the set up of the house was truly perfect for what we needed. I’ll start with the positives. Ricardo provided an amazing list of recommendations and suggestions which was very much appreciated! We enjoyed our massages that he set up, and our excursion, which he handled booking for us! Each room having its own bathroom was a huge plus! The lounge chairs on the turf were super comfy and a fun place for everyone to hangout. The couch in the living room and the movie theater was also a hit. The AC worked great! The views of the golf course were truly gorgeous. All of the rooms felt very clean upon arrive and each had plenty of space, also with amazing views. The Beach Club was absolutely stunning and you have access for only $5 per person, per day. I highly recommend taking advantage of this! Gorgeous beach, pool, bar and gym. The food that was provided was delicious! Unfortunately, we were quite surprised and disappoint

The home looks exactly like the listing, and everyone had plenty of space to spread out. The property can be a little tricky to find, so I’d recommend using Waze as your primary navigation if you’re renting a car. The staff, Eylin and Dunia, were absolutely wonderful. They cooked, cleaned, and took such thoughtful, kind care of us. We truly enjoyed having them with us. One tip: for any extras you arrange through the host (like in‑home massages), it’s best to tip in cash directly to the individuals at the end. We prepaid for some services and didn’t realize the tip wouldn’t go directly to the masseuse or staff, which made things a bit confusing. Ricardo was also very helpful in arranging tour guides and coordinating anything additional we needed throughout the week. We absolutely LOVED our stay, the people, and Costa Rica as a whole. It’s a beautiful country, and we had so much fun. We will definitely be back.
