    George and his concierge were tremendous assets in making this a great stay. After pivoting to his home with less than 24 hours notice, they did a great job at making sure our stay was exemplary. The amenities were great, and the beds were some of the most comfortable I have ever stayed in. We thank George and would be glad to stay here in the future!

    We loved the house, location, and amenities. We had plenty of space for 3 families totaling 14 people. The concierge was helpful and very communicative as well. Beach club was great too!

    This is definitely a tropical oasis! It was the perfect location for our family (6 adults- mom, dad & adult kids) on our first trip to Costa Rica. The house is beautiful and the beds are so comfortable. We loved hanging out by the pool, enjoyed an amazing dinner with a private chef and access to the Beach Club. Natalia and her staff were awesome with helping us book the chef and a couple of excellent excursions (Catamaran sunset sail and surfing) and were very prompt with communication when we had any questions about the house and surrounding area. Hacienda Pinilla is a beautiful and very safe area. The one downfall was we didn’t have enough time to explore all that there is to enjoy in the area! So we need to come back!

    This was our second stay at Villa Aracari and it was just as wonderful as the first! The two primary suites worked really well for this group as it was two families, with the older teens happy to have a little privacy and independence in the casita. Natalia, the property manager, was always available to help with everything we needed -- from buying groceries to booking tours. Highly recommend this property as one of the best in Hacienda Pinilla!

    Our extended family of 12 stayed here to celebrate the 50th birthday of my twin sister and me. We brought our families (spouses and combined total of 6 children ages 11-17), and our elderly parents. The kitchen is well-appointed, there are plenty of dishes, glasses, etc. The pool was wonderful, there were floaties available for use. The outdoor shower was great to use to rinse off after the pool, or after coming back from the beach. The house comfortable accommodated all of us, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The outdoor shower/bathtubs felt luxurious and everyone had a chance to enjoy that. The common areas also worked for our large group for meals, playing games, and watching tv. The concierge, Nathalia, quickly responded with any questions or needs. She made recommendations for tours, swimming beaches, and restauarants, all of which were great suggestions. The owner checked in with us as well and made sure we knew he was available for any questions/needs, though Nathalia was able to help us with everything. We used the chef for 2 nights, and strongly recommend the typical Costa Rican dinner. His staff clean afterwards, so it's definitely a nice splurge. Lola's restaurant is a backroads drive, but worth it - it was our favorite restaurant! We recommend surfing lessons with Luca- fantastic! We rented cars, and also rented golf carts for the neighborhood (fun but not necessary if you have a car). This home/neighborhood is phenomenal - can't wait to return!

    Great stay but make sure you have transportation when you arrive to go to Beach Club or into Tamarindo.. We didnt get a car till mid week and transfers are expensive if you like to explore.. Place and community are great.. Make sure to walk down beach 1 mile to Lolas's a local joint instead of eating at Beach club every day.. Pura Vida

    This is a beautiful property that was perfect for our two families vacationing together. We loved the location, close to Tamarindo but not in town. The beach club was fabulous and it was nice to have access to the Marriott restaurants. One day the kids swam at the Marriott while we ate and another day the hotel charged $75 per person to swim with $25 of that as a food and beverage credit. That was the only bummer. We did have trouble with the in unit washer, but the host and property manager quickly did a pivot to offer daily laundry service.
