Gorgeous property with incredible amenities
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

Fabulous getaway
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.

Great peaceful Vacation
My family and I enjoyed our stay and a week vacation at this property. Location is great and close to many activities. We went surfing and had several meals at Lola’s which was about a 10 minute drive. We visited Playa Conchal beach which was stunning and definitely worth it. We rented cars and had no issues navigating the area. The house is new and modern and a great layout for us the enjoy. We spent many nights at the outdoor dining area and the pool. Hope to visit again soon

Amazing house
This house was absolutely dreamy! Plenty of space for everyone, great communal area and amazing backyard. The bunk room was perfect for the kids. Neighborhood was felt safe and secure and there was literally no noise or interference. I will say this is the type of place where you would stay and take advantage of the beach club and be in one place. Getting to and getting out of the community can be a little bit of a trek. Not that it stopped us from leaving and exploring of course. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a GREAT family trip !!! A couple of notes… the area is quite isolated and it is very hot… you MUST have a car in my opinion… it is not a short walk anywhere … a golf cart is useful…. But to get groceries you need a car to go to town… we had a chef for a few nights which was excellent and arranged through the concierge service who were most helpful….

Beautiful house, private community, gorgeous beaches!
Villa Acari is a beautiful house located in the Reserva de Golf subdivision, which is part of the Hacienda Pinilla private community. It sits south of Tamarindo, so you are within 30 minutes of enjoying the shops, restaurants and bars, but in a much calmer and more upscale area. The house itself was wonderful for our weeklong stay with family and friends (5 adults plus 5 kids). The house is modern, open, spacious, and very well equipped. It is located within walking distance (or a short golf cart ride) from the JW Marriott resort (Playa Mansita) and the Beach Club (Playa Avellana). Playa Langosta is also within the private community and, although a couple of miles away, it is definitely worth a visit. George and Blythe (the owners) were great to work with leading up to our stay, and Natalia (the concierge) provided outstanding support "on the ground", including helping us with grocery shopping, booking tours and transportation, and arranging for housekeeping services. We hope to return one day!

Great House
We came with a large group. The house was in a secured neighborhood. The house itself was good size, and had nice large bedrooms. The outdoor space was also very nice. We made use of the pool, and BBQ area. We had a couple minor appliance issues that were immediately addressed when we let the Concierge know about it. We used a number of the companies that the Concierge suggested. The Zipline company, Estuary tours, Sunset Catamaran Cruise, and the Chef's dinner. We had an absolute blast, and would highly suggest using this property.

Beautiful property for a Pura Vida wedding
My now wife and I rented this property as a home base for our wedding week. We had 4 children, our parents and and a sibling (10 total). The house had plenty of room for our group. The pool was used multiple times per day and has been kept very clean and nice. We had our reception dinner at the house's outdoor dining area after getting married on the beach (Langosta). Really was a special place in a special country. Very much recommend. George (owner) was helpful and available for any questions at any time. Things like Grocery story recommendations (about 15 minutes away) and activity leads. Natalia (concierge for the property) was able to provide email addresses/contacts for tours (horseback riding and sailing). Everyone went above and beyond. The JW Marriott is very close to the house and can be used for a quick bite (pizza/burgers) at the Sandbar. The Playa Beach Club (3 minute drive from house) was great for hanging out with beach access and a big pool. We rented boogie boards and enjoyed the waves that were perfect for that. All in all, we highly recommend.

Great getaway for entire family
We have married children with no kids and some with kids, and this space was able to accommodate everyone. The 2 bedroom casita was a nice respite for two couples who have no children, and the main house had a great bunk room and two master suites to accommodate the families with children and ourselves. Each bedroom has an en suite bath with luxurious outdoor and indoor shower/tub spaces. The kitchen is spacious with an extra-large table and seating and open to the family room. The fridge/freezer is a large double-wide side by side with plenty of room for food if you are cooking for yourself. The outdoor kitchen/dining area is also great for lounging and eating al fresco. We had fun going to the Hacienda Beach Club in the mornings and swimming back at the house in the late afternoons. The Hacienda beach club was amazing with a nice pool and beautiful beach, and the food and smoothies were fantastic. The house was stocked with plenty of beach towels, and it was great to have a washer/dryer. It's worth noting that the walk to the Beach Club is too far for young children (and hot), and takes about 20 minutes by going out the shortcut through the back gate and would take twice as long to walk if going on the roads through the neighborhood. It is necessary to have a golf cart or a car to drive there. The J.W. Marriott is a ten-minute walk through the back gate and we went every night to get gelato there. The closest grocery store is about 15 minutes away on the route to Tamarindo. We spent a little time in Tamarindo where there are tons of restaurants and a lively beach with vendors offering beach-side massages, horseback rides, and coconut water. The surfers in our family had fun exploring the surfing hot spots in the area. For the most part, however, we were content to lounge at the Beach Club.

Pictures do not do it justice!
Incredible stay at Villa Acari! The pictures truly do not do it justice - it’s so spacious and peaceful. George, Blythe and Natalie (local host) were incredible - providing us with answers to any questions, as well as recommendations for everything from dining to fishing. This was my third trip to Tamarindo in 2021 and this villa was, without a doubt, a highlight! Hacienda Pinilla is an enclave of natural beauty but also an easy 15-20 drive to downtown Tama. Plus, we found some amazing restaurants (SoulShine) and beaches (Avellanas) within 5 minutes of the house. The house was spectacular, with a double fridge, giant live-edge table that seats 12+, beautiful lanai, outdoor showers, expansive bunk room, immaculate landscaping, etc. They also added chairs to the living room, which increased the seating for large groups. We were very comfortable with 12 people. I just can’t say enough about this place! Pro tips: book Maria for great housekeeping and utilize their rec for covid testing at home - cheap, easy and convenient.

Wonderful Property That Exceeded Expectations
The house, grounds and pool are amazing and well kept. The home decor was fantastic and furniture comfortable. The beds were very nice and included very supportive, but not hard, memory foam mattresses. Everything worked properly and every little think you'd have at home was thoughtfully provided. Check-in and check-out were both extraordinarily quick and without problems. The property manager, Natalia, was absolutely fantastic, communicated fast and took care of everything exceeding our expectations. The neighborhood is larger than expected, so be sure to have a car or golf cart to travel within the complex. The only issue we can report is that there is a short stretch of road leading to the entrance of Hacienda Pinilla that is unpaved and full of potholes. Traversing this stretch is extremely bumpy and an SUV is recommended, though a car can work as well. Our group of 8 would all highly recommend this property!
