Excellent Vacation Home with Teens

This house was exactly as we expected. This was our 3rd time in Costa Rica and 2nd time staying in Hacienda Pinilla. We love the neighborhood and surrounding area so much. We had 5 adults and 5 teens. The separate house off the pool was perfect for our teens! They loved having their own space. Erica did a great job keeping the house clean and making us a Costa Rican breakfast one morning. The concierge team is very responsive and helped us plan a fishing trip and anything else we needed. The A/C units worked great and kept us cool and comfortable our entire stay. I would highly recommend the Ficus Villas!

Wonderful villa for families

This villa is perfect for those traveling with children of any age. Well taken care of, has everything one might need, including beach towels, bathroom and cleaning supplies. Housekeeper was helpful, but at the same time gave us room to enjoy ourselves without being constantly in our view. Management company was quick to reply to our questions. Just 5 min away from a really nice beach club. Totally reccomended!

Great property for groups

Perfect property for our group of 8 adults and 9 kids under 7. Plenty of room inside and out. The management team was super responsive and set us up with any resources we needed along the way. The neighborhood is about 30 minutes from tamarind, but super safe and has a great beach club with extra pool and spa services. 100% recommended for families and groups.

Paradise Found

My stay at the Ficus Villa was truly unbelievable. The property is second to none. I came with friends and loved that each room had its own bathroom and level of seclusion, making it a perfect getaway for couples retreats or groups of friends. Furthermore, the associated amenities were first class and all the staff was incredibly accommodating. Will certainly be coming back here again!

Amazing property and management team

The house was beautiful and such a fun space to be in. We loved the proximity to the beach club and to the other villas around as well. But even more notable than this, was the quality of the house management team. They really served not just as house managers but as a full concierge service that was willing to help us with all of our needs no matter how big or small. I definitely recommend staying here!

Relaxing stay for a surf vacation

I had a pleasant and relaxing stay with a group of five at Ficus Villas. The highlight of my stay was the walk in shower which was a true spa experience and one I wish I could build into my own home. The details were tasteful and thoughtful -- pebble floor tiles, wood tones, views of the garden from the window, and great water pressure. The location is convenient and allowed us to surf breaks up and down the Guanacaste coast, and once we were done for the day, Ficus Villas was great for hanging out and retreating from the equatorial sun. Highly recommend.

Family birthday cely

Wonderful villa. My son turned 40 and wanted to brush up on his surfing skills . His children enjoyed the nearby beach and beach club. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating as there were maintenance issues with the pool with cloudy water limiting the use by my grandchildren. The recommended vendors for activities were all excellent.The pool maintenance vendor should be reviewed. The cool/ house keeper was a hard worker and excellent cook.
