We had a truly magical vacation at Villa Solana. The house is gorgeous and the outside is even better than pictured, with so many options to keep kids entertained. The property management was very responsive and helpful with any and every question we had before and throughout our trip. Our housekeeper Gabriella was also wonderful and had the house looking beautiful every day. We will most definitely be back.
Beautiful house with plenty of room for our 2 families. Each room has it's own bathroom (2 kings with en suite, 2 additional bedrooms upstairs with their own bathrooms in the hallway, and the casita has a bathroom as well that doubles as the pool bath). The kids had a blast in the pool, on the soccer field and with the ping pong table. The husbands loved the cold plunge and sauna. We rented golf carts to access the close by beaches but our favorite was Playa Negra, a short drive away. Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying that we absolutely loved the Villa and all it had to offer. The house was fabulous, clean, well maintained and perfectly suited for a large group like ours. We enjoyed all the extras, sauna, cold plunge and the e-bikes were a definite hit! Karla was amazing, we really appreciated everything she for us. The only down side was the problem with the alarm and the lack of internet for the last 3 days.

AMAZING STAY
Our stay at Villa Pinilla was incredible! The perfect balance of relaxation and wellness. The house itself felt like a private retreat, with a beautiful lap pool, rejuvenating sauna, and an invigorating cold plunge that made every morning feel like a reset. It’s just a short walk to the beach and a quick fun bike ride (the house provides awesome Murf Electric bikes) to some of the best surf in the area, which made it easy to spend the days in and out of the water. The staff were attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel effortless. We left feeling healthier, happier, and already planning our next visit.
The house was perfect for our party of 12. Very spacious and comfortable. The outdoor space was amazing and the kids loved the pool. I’d definitely recommend the grocery delivery - very nice option. Joel and property management were wonderful to work with. Very responsive and helpful. Our flight out was canceled and they were kind enough to find us a property to stay one more night and organize the transportation from and to the airport - all within twenty minutes of our request. We’d happily stay at Villa Solana again!

Great stay
Overall, we had a great stay at Villa Solana. The team was quite responsive and the amenities were wonderful. The only issue preventing me from 5-star rating was a water issue that occurred on two days, leading to either no water or no hot water in some bathrooms. Eventually, a maintenance crew was able to replace a pump after a couple days. Other than that inconvenience everything was great!
Upon entry to the property we were welcomed by upscale scents and a wonderful staff that showed us the property and made sure to answer any questions and give us recommendations.The house and grounds are gorgeous and everything is well thought out and planned. Rooms were spacious and the AC was nice and cold.We opted to have Carla make our breakfast daily and it was so worth it. She was amazing!Only complaint was the sauna and cold plunge weren’t operational but that wasn’t a deal breaker. Kids loved the e-bikes and the local beach was amazing at low tide.Highly recommend!

Perfect in Everyway Family Vacation!
Villa Solana exceeded our expectations, the house, the pool, the service! The pool, long walks along the beach, wave jumping in the ocean and the sunsets!!! It was hard to leave the resort area (some of us didn't). Our family of 7 adults had THE most amazing time. The house was spacious enough for everyone and yet drew everyone together to play games, swim and share meals. This was by far our best family vacation ever. Thank you!

Mr.
We loved Villa Solana for our multi generation family gathering. First of all the house is stunning and there was plenty of room for the whole family. The house setting is peaceful and we could walk to the beach to watch the sunset.
The staff was amazing and help us curate the perfect vacation for our family. And the in house housekeeper went above and beyond to make the house look at its best at all times. Not to mention she made the most delicious breakfast!
We can't wait to return to Villa Solana!
Loved our stay in the Los Golondrinos neighborhood at Hacienda Panilla in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The place was super clean and well-kept. The kids had a blast on the mini soccer field and pool space is incredible. The property managers were easy to reach and helpful. We enjoyed the nearby beach club, JW spa, and close access to beach. Only small hiccup was a missing toilet seat, but it was quickly addressed. Just a heads-up, the 5th bedroom and its bathroom are outside.
Perfect spot for big families or multiple families traveling together. Highly recommend!
Our family of 13 had the best time creating memories in this incredible house. It was the perfect size for us. It is in great condition and had everything we needed. They had our complete week long grocery list bought and unloaded in the house before we arrived.
Having Ethel come every morning to clean and help with laundry was a dream! It felt like a true vacation - getting to relax.
The staff was so helpful in the planning of our trip, making sure we had everything we needed. They were always so quick to respond.
We can't wait to come back!

Hands Down, The BEST of Hacienda Pinilla
This home was truly amazing for our family. The outdoor spaces and soccer field were perfect for the kids while the adults enjoyed poolside tropical living. The sound system in this house is top quality and we had music playing that felt like an private oasis. Only a 3 minute walk to a private beach. are you kidding me!? Joel and Mergie were fantastic in hosting us and we felt truly cared for. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED. We will be back and will rent this same house again and again
Stayed at the Villa with family (infants included). The house was spacious and designed well to host all of us. House was clean and had everything we needed from pool toys to kitchen essentials. The daily housekeeping was nice to have as well - thanks Carla!! We also enjoyed the e-bikes, close location to several beaches, and activities provided onsite (horseback riding, ziplining, beach club, small market). Only issue was the roads. Inside the neighborhood everything was smooth riding, but the road to Avellanas Beach and halfway to Tamarindo took some navigating (massive potholes and ruts). Not really a Hacienda Pinilla issue though since these are public roads and would just be a preference thing depending on how often a group wants to leave the resort area. We had a rental car to drive around - 4 wheel drive is a must, but if you don’t like feeling like you are off roading suggest to stay on the resort since there is more than enough to do and is awesome or hire transportation!

Just a few minute walk from the beach and with a beautiful pool and interior, this is bound to be one of the most private enjoyable places to relax you'll ever find! Staying here completely recharged us. Everything about this place is absolutely gorgeous .
We were a group of 17 and the house provided plenty of space for all of us. The house was beautiful and very well maintained. Carla’s breakfasts were amazing and the perfect way to start each day. The beach club was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed all of the amenities. Everyone had a blast on the e-bikes. We also appreciated the group chat to immediately address any questions. The ATV experience was the favorite event for the kids!
This house was absolutely gorgeous!!! It blew us away and we’re used to staying at 5-Star hotels. Ethel was the absolute best! She kept the house so clean everyday and made some amazing food. The location was great! Overall I couldn’t recommend this place more! The pool and back yard was breathtaking!
We enjoyed Villa Solana very much. The pool, sports field and ping pong table offered a lot of opportunities to get out with the kids and play. Hacienda Pinilla is an amazing development and has much to offer with golf, horseback riding and the beach club to name a few. We took many walks down to the beach with was only a couple hundred yards from the home. The home was meticulously cared for and showed very nicely.
