HACIENDA PINILLA BEACH CLUB

We have a corporate membership for our guests to enjoy the exclusive 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, its 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 $5 (only paid once per day and for ages 10+)

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 your just a stroll and river crossing from the action of Playa Langosta and Tamarindo

Large beautiful house with trees around the pool and hot tub that really gives it the feel of the rainforest. The housekeeper was absolutely fantastic! She cooked a wonderful breakfast every day and introduced us to the local cuisine as well as cooking our favorites.

House was fine, a little beat up but roomy enough for 7 adults. Mergie (the property mgr) and our housekeeper were fantastic.

I came for my birthday trip in December with 11 of my friends. Prior to the trip communication with Mergie, the manager's assistant, was great! She really came through with helping to purchase and set up birthday decorations and transportation for my group. We absolutely loved it. After our second day there, we started having issues with our wifi. A bit annoying but not a big problem, as we hadn't travelled all the way to CR to live on our phones. Also, one of the showers in the main master wasn't working, but once again, no big deal. We sent our reports to Mergie and enjoyed our vacation. The villa is even more beautiful in person I might add. We had a really great time! We heard some howler monkeys some mornings, and it was such a cool experience. Though I must say they did not come close enough to the house for us to panic. On another note, there was an issue brought up to us by Joel after we left and returned home, but I won't get into that. Paola the housekeeper was amazing! Truly loved her kindness and helpfulness towards our group. I'd give the stay an overall 6/10. This is only due to those issues we had while there and our interaction with the manager after we left. The home itself gets a 10/10 for me! I wouldn't return, but I had an amazing time, truly.
