HACIENDA PINILLA BEACH CLUB
The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club sits right on the shores of Playa Avellanas, With an infinity-edge pool looking over the famous surf break of Little Hawaii. The Beach Club has something for everyone whether it's cocktails and or fruit smoothies from the poolside Tiki Bar, kicking back in the poolside sunbeds, surfing one of the world-class breaks of Playa Avellanas, working out in ocean view fitness center, or relaxing with a massage in the wellness center, it's the ultimate beach day!
Beach Club has an annual closing in October every year.

As a guest of this property, the entry into the beach club is $10 which is then used as credit at the beach club bar and restaurant (only paid once per day and for ages 12+)

BEACHES
With 3 miles of coastline within the 4500-acre ranch, there is always a corner, tidepool or wave to be found.
Playa Mansita & Bonita, home of the JW Marriott hotel a great stretch to beach comb and explore tide pools on the lower tide.
Playa Langosta, world-class surfing, beach, and river fishing. We believe Langosta to be the hidden gem of Hacienda Pinilla, the shaded palapas are a great spot for a beach day in the shade, and you just a stroll and river crossing from the action of Playa Langosta and Tamarindo
Playa Avellanas, home to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club and 6 World-class surf breaks including Little Hawaii, the Estero, dead tree, and Lolas

JW MARRIOTT HOTEL
Hacienda Pinilla is home to the JW Marriott hotel, as a guest our guest you have access to the numerous restaurants on offer. You can also purchase a day pass for use of the hotel's pool which is the largest throughout Central America. The day pass gives you access to all of the hotel grounds and amenities.

GOLF COURSE
18-hole par 72 beachfront golf course ( the beachfront hole has an awesome sunset view on a secluded beach)

TENNIS COURTS
3 hard-court tennis courts with an onsite instructor. private, semi-private, and or group lessons are available. Kids camps and pickleball events are regular activities.

HORSE STABLES
The best way to explore the 4500 ranch is by horseback. Tours are available at any time and can be customized to fit your group's needs, with rides from 30 mins to 2 hrs taking you through the forest and out along the secluded beaches all here within the ranch.

MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS
With over 45 kilometers of trails throughout the ranch, forest, and coastline, Hacienda Pinilla is a great location for mountain biking. With natural scenic routes and rigorous trails for every type of bike rider, Hacienda Pinilla offers up adventure, challenge, and enjoyment for families, first-timers, experts, and everyone in between.

SURFING
Hacienda Pinilla has to be one of the best locations in Costa Rica to base your surf trip. With 6 waves just on Playa Avellanas and private access to the beach breaks of Playa Langosta, you don't even need to leave the ranch, but if you looking to explore the area, the famous Playa Negra reef breaks are just 10 minutes south and the river mouth and beach breaks of Tamarindo just 10 minutes to the north.
No matter what community you are staying in here within Hacienda Pinilla you will generally use transport to get to the beach club, on these trips you will no doubt see a lot of wildlife and monkeys in the mango trees that line the paved roads.
A great way to get around the ranch, to and from the beach club and JW restaurants is by golf cart.

Great house, amazing service!
The Sanctuary was a fabulous place to stay for three families on spring break (6 adults, 6 kids). We all agreed it was even better than the pictures. The space easily accommodated our large group - having the semi-detached rooms was great for the kids. The kids lived in the pool, and we especially loved when the monkeys hung out in the trees as they were playing. We also can't say enough about the Sanctuary hosts - Mergie, Joel, and Tatiana answered all of our millions of questions promptly and were so helpful in planning our trip and various excursions. Xiomara was also wonderful and so nice about our chaos swirling around her! The location of the house is also great - close to more restaurants and grocery stores than we were expecting and a short drive to Tamarindo. However, we'd recommend cars (NOT golf carts). The community beach club is a tremendous asset to the house, and we visited several times. Overall, we highly recommend the Sanctuary as a vacation house in CR!

Fantastic vacation for 6!
I'll start by echoing the previous reviews that mention how very responsive the concierge team is. They helped with all our excursions prior to getting there and were readily available for a few minor mishaps to help straighten things out during our stay. We also had a request after we got there and they were able to make that happen as well. The property is just as pictured although there is no TV in the Master bedroom which didn't bother us at all but worth mentioning if that is important to you. We had groceries delivered and I'm not sure I ever want to go somewhere that isn't offered again. It was wonderful to get to the house after a long day of travel to have everything already there. One of my very favorite things about our vacation was Xiomara. She comes Mon - Sat and will cook a delicious breakfast of your choosing (with supplied groceries). She was so kind and accommodating and it was so nice not to have to cook and clean up. The drivers that were arranged to pick us up and take us to various excursions were all wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area. We rented a golf cart but I would probably not do that again. It has strict restrictions about where you can take it so if you want to explore at all, a car will be a much better choice. Several nearby restaurants were out of the allowed area but thankfully some deliver and saved the day. All in all everyone really enjoyed the trip and we would definitely book with Vida Pinilla again.

Fun stay; some improvements warranted
The house is beautiful and new. Well-stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, etc. The beds were comfortable + the linens great! The home is in a neighborhood; it’s a suburban vibe. House is on a culdesac; it’s def just a new neighborhood development. I was misled to believe we’d have access to the JW Marriott’s beach club. In fact my first correspondence with the house manager was to confirm that. Despite confirmation of that before booking, we did not have any access to that club. I understand this was high season and probably the most touristed week of the year—but I was never told our access would be conditional. JW was “sold out” our week there. The community’s beach club, though, was awesome. It’s a drive (vs walk) with kids—about a mile away. You’ll never find more than 2 beach chairs together in the beach club but it was still a cool vibe. Easy going and great food (only one restaurant on-location). The home’s primary bathroom shower had close to zero water pressure. If 2 showers in the home were going at once, this shower was unusable. Wifi didn’t work for 5 out of our 7 days there. House manager said it was a problem in the development but that was false after talking to neighbors. We finally executed a full router reset ourselves and fixed it. A car rental (not golf cart) is a MUST for this house!! You will be stuck without one. Don’t use the rental company the host recommends; they never told us they were sold out and we scrambled upon arrival to find another car.

Outstanding House, Location and Hosts
Fantastic house , appears exactly as advertised. It’s spacious home with plenty of room for our group of 7 (4 adults and 3 teens). The pool / outdoor area is perfect, seeing the monkeys in the trees several times during the week was incredible, there were easily 10 to 12. Bedrooms are great we loved the outdoor shower, kitchen is spacious and well appointed. Location is great , loved having access to the private beach club and close to other public beaches and restaurants. Downtown Tamarindo is about a 20 to 25 minute drive so pretty close but you will need a car. Hosts were fantastic in all the pre planning , coordinating private chefs , groceries and dinner reservations, much appreciated !

Great Family Vacation
We stayed here for 12 days and had a lovely time. The host is very responsive and helped us with anything we needed during the stay in a timely fashion. The area is very nice and we had lots of fun seeing monkeys right in our backyard while hanging out by the pool. We would absolutely return.
