We had 6 teenager and younger, and 5 adults and the house worked great. The kitchen was fully equipped for everything we needed. We had a local chef come and prepare an amazing meal 1 night. Golf carts worked great for getting around the area. We visited 3 of the nearby beaches and enjoyed all of them. Kids loved having the pool when we weren't out exploring the area. Great time in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!!

We loved the great spaces of the homes, wonderful areas of nature and nice amenities. Our housekeeper, Ete, took lovely care of the homes.

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time here. Ethel, the daily housekeeper was fantastic—so warm, helpful, and attentive. The services available nearby were excellent as well. Having Pangas Market delivery to stock our home prior to our arrival was awesome. We also booked massages through Serenity, and they were outstanding—one of the highlights of our stay. Our sail on the Grenadine Lady with Manta Ray Sailing was another great experience; the food and atmosphere were wonderful. We also rented two golf carts and spent a lot of time at the beach.I also want to note how responsive Vida Pinilla was throughout our stay. Any questions we had were answered quickly, which made planning and logistics very smooth.We agree that the hot tub could be hotter, but it was refreshing. I’d shop in Tamarindo as two small plastic bags of staples at the Panilla Market cost us 378. I would highly suggest renting a vehicle as transportation anywhere starts at 120 for four people, and it would have been nice to have access to areas outside the premises.We had a fantastic stay and would happily return. The location, service, and experiences made it a memorable trip for our family.

The house was beautiful! Check-in was easy and the host had a welcome fruit platter waiting for us which was a nice touch, it was very clean, and most things functioned well. They supplied very nice bath products and the daily housekeeping was excellent. The development the house was in felt very safe, and the beach at Hacienda Beach Club was beautiful and very fun to swim in (we also tried the surf lessons, golf, and horseback riding - all were great). The only negatives were that the outdoor kitchen chairs were in poor condition and the jacuzzi could have been a little warmer. These were small issues, overall we were very happy with our stay!
