Week stay at Casa Nibbana - July 2023
Our stay at Casa Nibbana was overall enjoyable. The bedrooms were nicely appointed and kept us cool during the hot nights we vacationed there. The pool was fabulous. However, there were a few hiccups during our stay! First of all, I had major issues getting drivers I had hired directly into Hacienda Pinilla. This struck me as “odd” since this was my 5th visit to the property and I had never encountered this issue during prior visits. Having to communicate directly with the Property Manager (PM) or her team was very inefficient at times resulting drivers being detained and making us late for scheduled activities because the front gate had not been informed by the PM of our requests (the information had been sent to the PM the day before). When, I discussed these instances with the PM I was told that if I used her “pre-approved services” I would not have had these issues? However, on day one when I spoke with the front gate security guard, he informed me that if the PM would give me authorization to communicate directly with them the Guards would allow entry of our scheduled drivers without having to go through the PM? A/C didn't work when asked to have it turned on. Trash can had no lid and birds made a mess, so had to put it back in garage. Grill ran out of gas. Minimal glass wine/champagne stemware and wine opener was broken. Some outdoor furniture was broken, so had to use rocks to level them. Zero personal contact with PM and we won't stay at another property they manage.

A piece of Heaven in Costa Rica
This house was amazing!! Very clean and had everything we needed. The management was excellent with helping us set up a chef one night and buying our groceries before we got there. The beach club is a great place to enjoy a big pool and beautiful beach with bar. The location was about 20 minutes from Tamarindo. Overall a wonderful experience!!!!

Blessing Trip 2023
We had the best time in Costa Rica. The house was amazing and well equipped if you chose to cook. We made meals and grilled hamburgers July 4th. Georgina was amazing and answered all our questions. The pool was used daily, either by just relaxing or cooling off after a day of being out in the sun. Lots of good information on tours (TVP tours was awesome), private chef coming to cook for you at the house. We used Lila - Casina Lila and so good. Also, we had groceries at the house when we arrived which was nice after traveling all day. The house was clean, and had everything we needed and more! Would definitely stay here again. There were 6 adults and plenty of room for everyone! Made our Blessing trip amazing.

So Much Fun Had by All
Casa Nibbana was perfect for our active family (which includes two teenagers) in terms of its design, comfort, privacy and security and its overall proximity to so much. The home was designed to give everyone their own space but then bring them together in the beautiful great room and outdoor areas. The pool was the perfect temperature to hang out in and was used more than I thought it would be--pool guy did great job of cleaning it daily of vegetation. We grilled two nights wanting to stay in to enjoy our wonderful home (kitchen was well-equipped to cook in) and the remainder evenings we took the homeowner's recommendation and went to Avellana, eating at Lola's two nights and Il Rustico the other--the homeowner's book in house was very helpful. Be prepared for dirt roads for the trip to Avellana and if you go down to Playa Langosta--both recommended by the homeowner and well worth the trips. Each morning, we drove the 20 to 25 minute drive for my daughter to surf in Tamarindo while we walked the beach and then ate breakfast. By afternoon, we were on the golf course playing nine holes. Golf course was brown in April but was still fun and uncrowded. We look forward to returning in the future.

Comfort, beauty and location
My extended family has been fortunate enough to share many vacations together in rental homes. I count Casa Nibbana as probably the very best property. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, it has a level of comfort and convenience that is unparalleled. Three family "pods" found privacy and peace within the home. The home is spacious and wonderfully designed and furnished. The landscaping and pool are gorgeous and positioned to provide shade and cool retreats during the hottest weather. We range from 4- to 72- years old, and each individual managed to find their own space apart, and beautifully functional and attractive situations all together. I can't say enough about the place itself, it is secure and close to everything we could have hoped to enjoy... beaches, horseback riding, mountain biking, surfing, golf, charming little towns, great restaurants, etc. A real bonus is the access to the Beach Club on property, with great food and hospitality featuring a great pool, easy access to the beach, and a rental shop for boards and surf toys. Live music on Friday night was also very nice. Speaking of appointments, the house itself offers a great many toys for guests to enjoy, including bikes, golf clubs, floaties, etc. A wonderful visit and we would all sincerely love to return in the future.

Family vacation
Our stay was amazing! Georgina was a pleasure to work with and responded to all our questions/needs in a timely manner. Because of our late arrival, she even had our kitchen stocked with the groceries we requested. The home was everything we were hoping for-lovely, clean, well stocked and met our family’s needs. We especially loved the outside area. The kids swam nonstop in the pool while the adults enjoyed their morning coffee and afternoon happy hour on the covered patio. Should you be looking for a tour guide, Doug from TPV tours was amazing. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and friendly. He went all out to make our adventures memorable! Should we go back to Costa Rica , he will be our go to! Thanks Georgina for recommending him. Our whole experience in Costa Rica was great!

Great House at Hacienda Pinilla
Casa Nibbana is a beautiful house and its location was perfect for us. Hacienda Pinilla is about 30min from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo Beach. It offers beautiful beaches, a golf course, and great walking trails. The house is beautiful and the outdoor space with a lovely pool and shaded deck is perfect for spending time outdoors. The beautifully appointed rooms inside provided lots of space for the 5 of us. Georgina provided us with lots of information about the Casa itself as well as great restaurant and shopping tips.
