Excellent place, private, safe, very homey, 100% recommended

Excelente lugar, privado, seguro,  muy familiar, 100% recomendado

Thank you for your feedback! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay and that you were able to appreciate the privacy, security and family atmosphere of the property. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again very soon. Thank you for recommending us! Pura Vida! 🌴 Pinilla Life Team

The house is beautiful!! Check in/check out process was very easy. Joel and his team were always easy to get a hold for throughout the duration of our stay. The house was perfectly stocked. We loved the neighborhood! You felt very safe, it had nice beaches and access to great restaurants at the JW Marriott. Every suggestion that the rental team made to us prior to arriving for restaurants, golf carts, private chef, transportation, all were wonderful! You definitely want to get a golf cart. The lady who cleaned and cooked was incredible! We would definitely come back to this house! The only critique that I could give would be two things.. 1) The community requires you to get a QR code for every driver that enters. So it made it very hard to schedule food deliveries or last minute trips. 2) The back patio is VERY slick! After multiple falls and my 70 year old aunt cracking her head we finally just covered the whole thing in towels.

Thank you so much for your detailed review, Brittany! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the home, the neighborhood, and that the check-in/out process was smooth. It’s also wonderful to know that Joel and the team were helpful throughout your stay, and that the recommendations and services helped make your experience even more enjoyable. We’re especially glad you loved the housekeeping and cooking service! We really appreciate you also sharing your constructive feedback. Regarding the QR code system, we understand how this can feel a bit restrictive, especially for deliveries and last-minute arrangements, and we’ll certainly keep this in mind as we continue improving our guest experience and communication around it. About the back patio, we’re very sorry to hear about the incidents and hope your aunt is okay. Safety is extremely important to us, and we will immediately review this area to explore solutions to improve traction and prevent this from happening again. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We would be delighted to host you again in the future! Pura Vida, 🌴😊 The Vida Pinilla Team

My family of 8 really enjoyed our stay. The host and concierge team were instrumental in making this an experience for my daughter and mom celebrating milestone birthdays. The house attendant made us breakfast each day which was a plus. Will highly recommend and stay here again if visiting Costa Rica.

Thank you so much Shon for your wonderful review! We're honored that you chose to celebrate such special milestone birthdays with us. It’s great to hear that your family enjoyed the home and that our concierge team and house attendant helped make the experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you and your family back on your next visit to Costa Rica. Pura Vida! 🌴✨ The Vida Pinilla Team

We had a really nice stay. The space was clean, comfortable, and looked just like the photos. Check-in was smooth and easy, which made everything stress-free from the start. The host was friendly and responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We especially appreciated the fresh fruit snack waiting for us when we arrived. It was such a thoughtful touch. One of the highlights was seeing a family of monkeys out back most days. They were amazing to watch and made the experience feel really unique. The location was great, close to everything we needed, and in a convenient area. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. We’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Thank you so much Megan for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great stay and that everything—from the smooth check-in to the comfort and cleanliness of the home—met your expectations. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the fresh fruit welcome as well, we love adding those special touches! And how amazing that you got to see the monkeys so often—those moments truly make the experience unforgettable. We really appreciate your kind words about our team and the location, and it means a lot that you’d recommend us. We would absolutely love to host you again on your next visit!

It sounds like an amazing time, and we’re so happy we could be part of it. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—many more celebrations to come! Pura Vida! 🌴✨ Vida Pinilla

Very nice, spacious house in a very luxurious condominium. The house is very clean and the housekeeper is very friendly and helpful. Perhaps my only recommendation would be that they could do some maintenance on the kitchen, the furniture is somewhat neglected and the use is already noticeable, but a better inventory of kitchen items such as Tupperware and others is also needed. But overall I recommend the house and would definitely come back.

Casa muy bonita, espaciosa y en un Condominio muy lujoso. La casa muy limpia y la señora de servicio muy amable y atenta. Quizá mi única recomendación sería que puedan darle mantenimiento a la cocina, el mueble está algo descuidado y ya se nota el uso, pero además hace falta un mejor inventario de artículos de cocina como Tuppers y demás. Pero en general recomiendo la casa y volvería sin lugar a dudas.

Muchas gracias, Marilaura, por tu comentario tan detallado! 🌿 Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste de la casa, del condominio y de la limpieza, así como de la atención de nuestro personal de servicio. Agradecemos sinceramente tus observaciones sobre la cocina; tus comentarios son muy valiosos para nosotros y ya los tomamos en cuenta para revisar el mantenimiento del mueble y mejorar el inventario de artículos de cocina. Nos encanta saber que, en general, tu experiencia fue positiva y que volverías sin dudarlo. Será un placer recibirte nuevamente en el futuro. Gracias por recomendarnos! Pura Vida! 🌴✨ Vida Pinilla

This villa works very well for large groups of people. There are many places to sit, both in and out of the sun. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom shampoo, conditioner and body wash was lovely. The villa also had most of the kitchen tools and amenities needed. Although there were a few minor issues, (eg. the coffee pot needs to be demineralized, there was a missing kitchen chair, and the dishwasher is in disrepair), overall, this venue was fantastic.

Thank you so much Nancy for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear the villa worked so well for your group and that you enjoyed the spaces, comfy beds, and amenities. We also really appreciate your feedback on the small details—like the coffee pot, chair, and dishwasher.

We were a large group of 15 with ages ranging from 2 to 80 years old and Joel’s place was perfect. The kids loved in the swimming pool and the layout was spacious. It was so nice to have an outdoor space for grilling and to hang out. The house was also equipped with two large capacity washers and two dryers which was a huge bonus! Whenever we had an issue, Joel and his team responded quickly and addressed the issue promptly.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sarah! We're thrilled to hear the house worked so well for your group and that everyone—from the little ones to the grandparents—had a great time.

Great and absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The housekeeper kept our space very clean and made delicious breakfast. Joel was very responsive with any problems or questions we had. He gave great recommendations for local spots. Only issue we had was opening the door…it usually took a few tries before the bolt would unlock. Other than that, no real complaints

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tayler! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere and that our team helped make your stay comfortable — especially with the breakfasts and local recommendations. We appreciate your feedback about the door lock, and we’ll definitely have our maintenance team take a look to ensure it’s working smoothly for future guests.

Listen yall…book it! Just incredible for our first stay in CR. The property is extremely safe, clean, beautiful, and well maintained by Hacienda Panilla. Each day we had housekeeping. Erika was fantastic, she also cooked for us each morning as well. For the price and location it’s way more than we could have even imagined. Access to the beach club/private beach was a huge plus and so serene and only a 4 min drive on the property. The concierge provided with the Airbnb helps SO much. Arranged pick up and drop off of our rental car, rides into Tamarindo/LIR airport through a trusted company (Carlos is the man!), and literally helped with anything you need. We had a group of 9 women and had a blast. Thank you, can’t wait to come back!

This property is absolutely amazing!! There are lots of thoughtful touches throughout. Nice amenities, including an adequately equipped kitchen if you plan on cooking. There was plenty of space for everyone to socialize or retreat to a quiet area if needed. The pool and outdoor grill and dining area are really nice.

I definitely will go back and refer this home to friends.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a nice review and share your experience during your stay in The Ficus Villas! It was a pleasure to host you. Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

The house have all the amenities for large families to have a great time!

Gracias Luis por tomarse el tiempo de dejarnos un review. Esperamos la hayan pasado super bien en nuestra Villa y nos visiten de nuevo :) Felices Fiestas y Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

I celebrated my 40th birthday with family and friends and stayed at Joel’s place. The whole experience was 10/10. The house was amazing. Beautifully decorated, clean, and we had everything we needed. They were always available to answer any questions we had. No complaints AT ALL. If you’re on the fence about this house…..BOOK IT!

The photos did not do it justice. It was very big and spacious. The host was very  attentive and was able to book shuttle services for us. They also provided us with a list of in-house chef recommendations that came and cooked delicious food for us during our stay. The home was equipped with beach/pool towels, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer, etc. It is safe to say that all 9 members of my family had a great time!

My family of 11 (ranging from 5yo to 75yo) had an amazing time at Joel's place!  The villa is absolutely gorgeous and there was plenty of space for everyone.  The outdoor space is incredible and while the pool is not heated, it was extremely warm given that it is in the sun all day.  The hosts includes pool floats as well!  The kitchen is large and there are two sets of washers and dryers so that we could all do plenty of laundry.  The endless supply of towels was nice as well!  We loved Erika, the housekeeper, who prepared breakfast for us every morning and kept our villa sparkling clean.  Joel, Mergie, and David were incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful with my 1000 questions leading up to the trip, and made some great recommendations.  The only two things I would note is to try to get there when it is light out as searching for the home in the dark was a bit challenging, but we eventually found it!  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are so glad we chose this villa!

Everything is great. Perfect stay with my family. Thank you

Tudo ótimo. Estadia perfeita com minha familia. Obrigada

Thank you so much for you feedback Fabi! It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Beautiful people, We are glad to have met you and made you fell at home in our place. We will be looking forward to host you in the future

Great place to stay! We had 15 girls and the place was beautiful! Spacious and host was very responsive and helpful! Highly recommend!

We are happy to hear that you and your group had a great experience and that our place was able to accommodate all 15 of you comfortably. Thank you for recommending our place. It means a lot to us to receive your high praise. If you and your group ever plan to visit the area again, we would be more than happy to welcome you back and provide another exceptional stay.

Initially thought the place may be too good to be true for the price, but exceeded all our expectations. Beautiful house, breakfast was great every day. 5 min drive to the beach with easy parking. Enjoyed the beach club. Joel was very helpful and responsive booking golf cart, private chef, catamaran. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Andrew for taking the time to give us this wonderful review and very important for us, that we know you all had a wonderful time. We cannot wait for your next visit to come and enjoy the beaches, amenities and nature within Hacienda Pinilla, see you soon, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

The Ficus Villa was a beautiful home for our intimate wedding with friends and family. Joel, David, Erika and the whole team was amazing and accommodated any requests and suggested local vendors. Breakfast and daily cleaning was a lovely touch and really helped create a great experience for our party. Would highly recommend this area and look forward to seeing it in years to come as it continues to develop!

Thanks, Andrew for taking the time to leave this great review we cannot wait for your next visit to paradise and to enjoy the private pool and luxury layout that we have in The Ficus Villas, Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas/Vida Pinilla

Fabulous. Spent 3 weeks with family of 8 adults and toddler. Home was perfect. Greeted by Erica/ housekeeper and David (Joel’s) along with platter fresh fruit . Kitchen well equipped as we cooked most nights in and  has reverse osmosis drinking water. House supplied all soaps, shampoos/conditioner etc. WiFi  good.  Pool(with floaties) and outside great.  Mistaway went off at 6 and 630am and 530 and 6 pm for 30 secs. worked as no bugs. Rented  2 cars . Shopped in Tamarindo - Verdureria Come Frutas  and Auto Mercado groceries plus Almacen for organics and General Store Tamarindo Inn.   Rented  2 bikes from Bikecraft as roads were well paved and  flat. 5 min drive/ 20 min  walk to Beach club. Great  at $10 with good food, free WiFi, gym, nice bar. Playground for kids. 15min beach walk to Lola’s.. Great security. Joel’s team provided great service before and during. Erica was the best. Had Chef Garrett prepare great dinner. Some construction around Pinilla reserve  but none in our cul sac

Beautiful all around! Mergie was really great and helped me with my hundreds of requests and questions. Property is stunning and maintained immaculately, in a private community where all the grounds were well kept and we felt super safe. Pool and beach at the beach club also beautiful. We had a big group - 17 ppl of varying ages and we were all confortable whether we were in the house or in the yard. Mergie really helped make our trip exceed our expectations with little to no worries!

Great place to stay! Worked very well for our group of 9!

Chris, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. We hope to see you again !! Joel, Vida Pinilla

This airbnb was more than we could've asked for to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party. The hosts were amazing. Very responsive and they helped out with any issues that we had (lost luggage!). They gave us a plethora of recommendations, checked in on us, and were there to greet us and explain everything upon arrive. The whole house was a dream, very clean, good temperature control, comfortable beds, and had anything that we could've needed. Plenty of kitchen appliances, lots of pool towels, laundry detergent, and more. We had a fantastic housekeeper while there who made us breakfast on the last day and kept the whole house very clean while there. No issues with mosquitos or anything else. I felt very safe while staying there as we had plenty of security to go through before arriving. The beach club on the property was amazing as well and very easy to navigate. I HIGHLY recommend staying here!! I can't rave about it enough.

Thank you Jemma for your great review. We trust you all had a fantastic time in The Ficus Villas and we can not wait for your next visit to come and have a wonderful time enjoying the private pool in our luxury layout, the beaches, and the beautiful nature area plus the amenities here in Hacienda Pinilla. We loved having you all staying, Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas/Vida Pinilla Team

Loved everything about this house.  Even better than the pictures!

Thank you for your review Erin!, i am glad we could surprise you with our new Jacuuzi!! We hope to host you again in the future Joel, Vida Pinilla

Thank you Frank, we trust to see you again to enjoy the beaches and amenities within Hacienda Pinilla, plus our private setup for you to enjoy your time and have a relaxing time. See you soon, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

we enjoyed our stay here. the property was beautiful but my sister fractured her arm in the hallway leading into the main bedroom because the floor was extremely slippery. 4 out of 7 of us all slipped and fell in this exact spot. This was a huge safety hazard. our trip was cut compromised because we were in the clinic trying to care for my sisters arm. she had to go to the emergency as soon as we landed back home. Mergie was very responsive and a great help but nothing was done about the slippery floor and my sisters fractured arm

The house was beautiful. I travel with a group of 7 other people and there was more than enough room for everyone . Joel and Mergie were very professional, courteous and helpful with the planning of my trip. There responses was timely and referred travel tour companies to any activity my group was interested in doing. My only complaint about the home was that the lighting in the rooms and bathroom could be better. Nonetheless I would definitely recommend this home to anyone traveling to the area and I certainly would rebook the same home if I were to travel back.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your review. We cannot wait to see you all again for your next vacation time to come and enjoy the beaches and amenities within Hacienda Pinilla and all the excursions and fun things to do in this area. We will be always here to help in any way we can, Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas/Vida Pinilla Team

This space was beyond what we expected. The photos truly don’t do it’s beauty justice. We had plenty of space for our (7 of us coming together for a weekend) friends to come together in the many common areas while also having enough space for time to ourselves when we needed it. We loved the feeling of being in nature with the comforts of a luxury space. Will be back!

Spacious and well equipped. Perfect to have a relaxing time in wonderful Pinilla. Communication was great and attention to detail in every corner of the house. It was a great vacation!

We loved having Eduardo´s group stay in The Ficus Villas. For sure they had a wonderful time enjoying the beaches, nature, and amenities in Hacienda Pinilla. It was a pleasure to help with all we could and always here for anything you need, looking forward to seeing you for your next vacation, here the beaches and the amazing sunsets are waiting for you! Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas/Vida Pinilla Team

Wow! This place is incredible and the pictures don't do it justice. This was our third visit to Hacienda Pinilla and our first stay at the Ficus Villa. Mergie and Erica were fanatic hosts that made our trip complete. As others have said, having a rental car is a must if you want to explore off property. Our group of 10 had more than enough room and we never felt crowded. Definitely would stay here again if I visit with a large group. Until next time...Pura Vida!

Thank you, thank you so much for taking the time to give us this great review. Our team is always ready and happy to help you with anything we can to make a memorable trip. We know that you had a wonderful time with the amenities such as the Beach Club, Beaches, and even the nature within Hacienda Pinilla and plus our layout for you and your family to feel at home. We cannot wait to see you on your next visit to Costa Rica, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

This house is beautiful and was perfect for our large family.  The outdoor area added so much space for us to be together.  It is definitely as amazing as the pictures on the listing.  Having a housekeeper to come in daily and clean was an added bonus.

Thank you Dale for your amazing review. We would love to see you again to enjoy the beaches and amenities within Hacienda Pinilla and our fantastic layout with a house full of equipment and ready for your vacation! We cannot wait to help you plan your next trip, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Ficus Villas. The house is beautiful and the outdoor areas were just as lovely. There are multiple grocery stores nearby, so we cooked quite a few meals in the well appointed kitchen. Mergie was super helpful in booking horseback riding, zip-lining and a catamaran tour for us. Ericka, the housekeeper, was so thorough and helpful in keeping the house clean and fresh throughout our stay. I highly recommend renting a car, particularly if this is your first time in CR. You will want to explore and a golf cart is really only feasible within the Hacienda Pinilla community. We rented a 7 passenger SUV and it was perfect for 2 adults and 4 kids. We drove to Playa Conchal one day and it was one of my favorite outings, but it was about an hour drive from the house, so not an ideal taxi ride if you don’t have a car. We also went into Tamarindo daily for shopping, the beach and restaurants, so the car really gave us that freedom. One restaurant you have to try, that’s nearby is Lola’s. We ate there several times. The food is amazing but the view is what kept us coming back. Overall, I highly recommend this AirBNB. We absolutely loved our family trip to Costa Rica and we made some amazing memories in this house and community. Pura Vida!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. It is fantastic to know you all had a great time and experience here. We cannot wait to see you again, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla

The Ficus Villa is everything you would want from a vacation rental. The pictures do not do it justices and it is absolutely gorgeous in person. Also it is super clean and having the house keeper come every morning was a perk. It felt like we were at a hotel because all the rooms were cleaned everyday. This Villa is fully stocked with towels, kitchen tools and even seasoning! We were impressed by the villa but we were more impressed by Mergie’s communication with us the entire time. This was our first time in Costa Rica and she helped us every step of the way. Shuttles, tours, restaurants you name it, Mergie helped with it. Our group didn’t spend too much time in Hacienda Pinilla but if you do please listen to them and get a golf cart or a rental car. We had a group of 8 and were very comfortable in this house. If I could stay this property again I most certainly would!

Archana, thank you so much for your review and we are excited to know you had a wonderful time in our The Ficus Villas. We always are super happy to help with all we can from the beginning as well as when you are here, assist you with the best recommendation or provide the best service ever. We cannot wait to see you next time you come to Costa Rica, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla Team

The most wonderful house in the world!!!! Location, cleanliness, attention, spaciousness, lighting... incredible details, we were greeted with fresh fruit by a spectacular smell in the house, all hyper clean, the attention of a wonderful mergie, always attentive. Erica the maid with an INCREDIBLE attitude, you can tell that she does her work out of love, polite, always giving the extra mile. I recommend this house without hesitation! I look forward to returning!

La casa mas maravillosa del mundo!!! Location, limpieza, atención, amplitud, iluminación….. detalles increíbles, nos recibieron con fruta fresca un olor en la casa espectacular, todo hiper limpio, la atención de mergie maravillosa, siempre atenta. Erica la empleada doméstica con una actitud INCREÍBLE, se nota que hace su trabajo por amor, educada, siempre dando la milla extra. Recomiendo esta casa con los ojos cerrados! Espero el momento de regresar!

Muchas gracias Marcela por este comentario y siempre es un gusto ayudarles en todo lo posible, los esperamos para su proximo viaje y disfrutar de las comodidades en Hacienda Pinilla, los mágicos atardeceres y nuestra casa para que disfruten y tengan ese momento con amigos o en familia.  Pura Vida, Equipo Vida Pinilla/Vida Luxury Villas

Let me start by saying this is an amazing airbnb! Everything was exactly as pictured. For this trip we were in contact with Mergie and she did an amazing job with communicating with us before and during the trip. they helped us setup transportation, excursions, grocery shopping services for cooking at the airbnb. and was even willing to help set up a birthday dinner with a nice restaurant. I will say though that the villa is not located exactly in tamarindo but it is not too far of a drive if you want to go there (maybe 10 min). I 100% recommend getting a rental or having a driver because we got a golf cart rental for the villa area and quickly realized a car would’ve been a lot more efficient. The house also had an amazing cleaning staff and they kept the house in tip top shape! If you are considering this villa I 10/10 recommend.

Cameron, thank you so so much for taking the time to give us your amazing review. We are happy to know you had a wonderful time staying with us at The Ficus Villas and hope to see you again on your next visit to Costa Rica to enjoy the area and the amenities, beaches, and the beautiful magical magical magical sunsets in Hacienda Pinilla. We will be here ready to help with anything we can, Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas Team

This Airbnb is truly AMAZING - we are so happy with our stay! From the moment we booked the Airbnb, the service was out of this world with Mergie assisting us with anything that we needed. She ensured to provide recommendations and assist where needed. They even set up airport pick up and transportation in the town while at the Airbnb! When we arrived, there was fruit waiting for us which was appreciated. The house is even more beautiful in person - it truly feels like you are in paradise. There was an extra bed which was not expected (10 beds total!). We also had a housekeeper that would come every morning to clean the house and make us breakfast. Lastly, we felt extremely secure by all the security measures at the finca. I would recommend this place to anyone and we are so thankful for Mergie!

Thank you so much Abimael for taking the time to give us these great words and we really appreciate your feedback. We cannot wait to see you all again, I know there is more to explore here in Costa Rica, and to enjoy the time here in Hacienda Pinilla, the sunsets and beaches within the complex will be here waiting for you. Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla/Vida Luxury Villas Team

The house was absolutely beautiful! However the drive to the house on the rocky road did make a few people in my group car sick. Hopefully the resort can fix the road as it’s not a good first impression before arrival to your destination. The house is secluded so be prepared to make a drive to the city if you are hoping to get out. The home was not up to date on repairs. For example. The master bedroom had a shower door sitting outside of the bathroom in the corner. This made taking a shower very messy as the other shower door was missing. On one of days coming home the home was flooded with water leaking through the ceiling. It was not made a priority to fix this issue. Instead we were forced to resolve it on our own as we were told it wouldn’t be fixed until the next day. There were numerous gaps in communication on behalf of Mergie. Either she was not responsive to our calls/ text or when I did call she had an attitude saying she received my msg but chose not to respond as she “was at dinner”. As visitors in a foreign country, it’s important that there is an open line of communication for the host and the house manager with their guests. Mergie also was not clear in communicating cost and reservations on our behalf as we were consistently having to clarify what we were told the charges were vs what we were being charged by businesses. It seemed like we were being taken advantage of. Lastly, we did not appreciate how we were stopped in the middle of no where during a storm, at night, and told that we would not be returned back to the house until a payment was made for our excursion. Before leaving the excursion, the driver told us it was ok for us to make the payment via PayPal once we were at home since we did not have service to transfer funds. This was not only unprofessional but very unsafe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the home. We just hoped for better communication.

Hi Elexas,   I am sorry to see your feedback.   We tried our best to be as supportive as possible from help booking your tours, transport, dinner reservations and taxi services.  We apologize for the shower door situation. During the easter week prior to your arrival the large glass panel was shattered by the renter. We immediately ordered the replacement which is being installed this week.   The rain that you mention did not in fact come through the roof. It came through below the front door and that is why we removed the large living room rug which was wet and removed the following morning . As this was reported late Saturday night and it was addressed as early as we could the following morning at 8am.  We apologize for this inconvenience, that was the first big storm of the year and we have since fixed the issue that allowed the rain water to run that way.  We strive to provide the best communication that we can and thankyou for your feedback which we addressed as a group and will better our service. In reviewing your feedback I went through all our communication which included airbnb and I messages between both myself and my team at all hours of the day and night.   To see this feedback is upsetting as almost all messages were responded to within 1 - 5 minutes. The 'at dinner' message was even replied to after Mergie finished dinner and saw your text which was then responded to.   Following up on your feedback from the tour provider and shuttle driver I spoke to both parties and there is also a different story regarding the payment.  I can continue with each side but I do not believe that needs to be done here.  We enjoyed hosting you and your friends and apoligize for any inconvencience during your stay. We will take everything that you mention onboard and look forward to provide a better service in the future.  All the best, Joel and team at Vida Luxury Villas

Absolutely incredible, private villa with wonderful hosts. Back patio / pool / lounge area is amazing. They also found a bag we left behind and were kind enough to offer to mail it to us once we got back to Canada. Would definitely stay again.

Shayan we cannot wait to see you for your next visit to Costa Rica and thank you so much for this review. We loved and we will love to help with all we can. Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla/Vida Luxury Villas Team

This house was very accommodating for my large group of 17 people! Everyone was comfortable, safe, abs enjoyed it. The host was more than amazing in making sure we had transportation arrangements, security access, etc. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the area. Thanks again.

Thank you Jemiela, a big thank you for taking the time to give us this great review and we cannot wait to see you again for your next trip to Costa Rica and enjoy the magical sunsets and great beach time here. Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla/Vida Luxury Villas Team

The house is more beautiful and amazing than the pictures posted here! Everything was wonderful and we had no complaints. With our large crowd, having breakfast ready every morning when we woke up and housekeeping everyday was a huge bonus. Mergie was so helpful with any questions we had. When we go back to Playa Avellanas this is where we will stay again.

Angela, thank you for taking the time to give us this great review. We cannot wait to see you all again for your next time in Costa Rica and enjoy the amenities plus the beaches within Hacienda Pinilla, as well as the great layout of our wonderful houses, Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas Team

If you are looking for a perfect secluded place to have a good time with family and friends . This is the location. This pictures don’t do it any justice. This place is beautiful.  Close to downtown tamarindo , beaches shops and restaurants . In my opinion it was better off renting a car , which we didn’t do . Beautiful private property , felt safe and secure with 24hr security . The housekeeper was amazing came every morning to clean up and make sure the house was fresh and towels provided , she also can make small breakfast if needed . The Auto Mercado was in close distance too. Don’t have to question if I would stay here again . 10 out of 10 recommend !

We loved having Jackie´s group in Ficus Villas. We know they had a great time visiting Tamarindo and enjoying the amenities, beaches within the complex Hacienda Pinilla. We definitely cannot wait to see them again on their next visit and for sure as always we will be happy and ready to help in any way we can. Pura Vida,  Vida Luxury Villas

Joel and Margie were helpful before and leading up to the trip and also during. The house was amazing!!! Clean, spacious, different areas that people can hang out at, just an amazing experience overall. This place is the most secured place in Tamarindo so there is nothing to worry about. I would recommend this home to anyone thank you again!

Everything was great and as seen on the pictures. Great location. Definitely will stay here again. As an architect, this property’s design is exquisite, with open and breathable spaces, all bedrooms and bathrooms are designed with sophistication, and the kitchen is visually connected to main living space and outdoors. Appliances, furniture and decor were on point. Separate bedrooms allows for independent access between guests, which was a definite plus. Joel and Mergie have an outstanding hospitality, quick response and understanding of any last minute concerns throughout our stay. They were always available to us.

Elena, a big thank you for this amazing review and we definitely love the idea of having you all staying with us again. We cannot wait to be able to help you with what we can to make you feel home and comfortable. We are also happy to know you like our property as much as we do and this beautiful place to enjoy between nature and the beach. We hope to see you soon. Pura Vida, Pinilla Beach House Team
