This house is even better than the photos! Well designed, super clean, and great layout that could work for multiple families with inside and outside large dining tables. Kitchen well stocked and laundry room was convenient. We loved having a private pool as the beach club was crowded. The property Hacienda Pinilla is very nice, but you need a car if you want to eat outside the resort or go into Tamarindo (approx 30 min drive). We rented a golf cart and a car, but only used the golf cart twice as you only use within the resort - save the for the car as it’s way more useful! Favorite dinners were Pangas in Tamarindo and Lolas in Playa Avellana. Fuego Blu and Barumis were great for takeout/delivery. Paulina is an amazing concierge and helped with reservations and trip details - thank you Paulina! She even stocked our fridge with basic groceries before we arrived (for a small fee) and it was nice not to rush out to the store the first morning. We saw monkeys multiple times within the resort which was a highlight of the trip! Highly recommend and would stay here again!
