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.

Amazing Home

From the moment we stepped on property it was clear we made the right choice for our Costa Rica vacation rental! The Ficus Villas was beautiful, comfortable, and clean - we felt right at home the entire stay. The staff was always accessible and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay even that much more enjoyable - thank you!

Our stay at The Ficus Villas was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the Vida Pinilla team was there with a helping hand. They accommodated ALL of our needs, the Villa was in perfect condition and fully stocked, and we truly felt cared for the entire time. We will be returning for another stay in February and cannot wait to be back !

Amazing Experience

We were a group of 15 spanning 5 generations. We stayed at Ficus Villa for a week. The entire stay was simply amazing. The Villa is way better than the pictures. The pool was fantastic. All the rooms were comfortable, the common spaces were great for family hangouts. The best experience was the concierge team and the housekeeper. They ended up becoming our extended family and helped us have one amazing experience after another keeping our preferences in mind and being very reactive and attentive even with last minute changes. We cannot recommend this place enough. The place is great, but the concierge team will make it a truly exceptional experience.

The Best Experience

Everything was perfect from the time we got there. Mergie made our experience the best ever and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. We probably contacted her more than most guests but she never failed to answer a call or respond to a text regardless of the time of day. The house was beautiful and just as described in the post. This was a family vacation and we will definitely be back and hope to work with the same team of people that assisted us with the house. Oh, I can't forget Diego, the shuttle driver! He was the best unofficial tour guide and made the trip from the airport to the house seem not so short with his knowledge of the areas we were passing.

Super Fun Vacation

We visited Ficus Villas for the Christmas holiday. It was perfect! We had 2 families with 4 teenagers. There was plenty of space for everyone, either as an entire group or different areas for the different ages. We had a beautiful dinner outside for 12 people under the twinkling lights, the kids played Wii on the big screen TV, we hungout in the pool in the mornings/evenings. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for any type of meal. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Plus, there were lots of beach towels to take to all the wonderful beaches in Hacienda Pinilla. Joel and Mergi were fantastic -- very informative and super helpful. We are already planning our next trip!

Epic Trip

Our family/friends just got back from our week long stay at Costa Rica. The house is impeccable, from the time we pulled up to their front door, where our housekeeper Ericka greeted us. Rooms were cleaned and the place was so welcoming. We loved the lounge area and the hanging egg chairs. Our kids enjoyed the pool every day even after our excursions and even in the rain. They did not care. Mergie was amazing, so detailed and organized. She helped with every bit of our planning from stocking food, private chef service, transportation and all our excursions. Everyone in the group left a long lasting impressionable memory that will last a lifetime especially for the kids. We will definitely be back for a visit again in the near future!!

Anniversary Family Vacation

Ficus Villas was perfect for our family of 10! 6 adults & 4 kids (ages 10 mo - 6 years) The pool was perfect! The palapa was a great place to hangout listening to the afternoon rain & thunder. The casita was perfect for the family with the baby. Erika took care of the home daily and cooked us breakfast one morning. She would have cooked more, but our littles were early risers, so we made breakfast most mornings. The 2 washers and dryers were super convenient! Tatiana was very helpful! Communication prior to arrival and during stay was very prompt A couple of details that we suggest be addressed: Master shower head - water spraying in every direction - either clean or replace Remotes were missing batteries Family room tv seems to be going out (right side of screen is black) Ceiling fans were not 100% operational (some speeds) and were very loud Plastic left over containers are cracked - fruit juice leaked in fridge as we were unaware - should be replaced Would be nice to have a high chair Please update your listing by removing the grocery stocking service that was discontinued Please update your listing that travel time to / from Liberia airport is 90 minutes. We made 6 trips to / from and took us at least 90 minutes each time. Please know that none of these would prevent us from coming back! Thank you for a truly fabulous home & location. Our family bonded and played so hard! We will be back!! Pura Vida Patrick & Julie

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!

Home away from home!

I can't say enough about how amazing our stay at the Ficus Villas was! Erika was the highlight and made every aspect of our trip better, turning the house into a home. The place was spotless and immaculate, she was so welcoming, and made the BEST breakfasts that fueled our whole trip. She is an amazing cook and does a great job working with our random groceries. I highly recommend grabbing some ingredients for Gallo Pinto, we had it with breakfast every day and was amazing. The home is very well stocked, with everything you need to make yourself at home. The pictures don't do it justice - it is a truly stunning home and property. The rooms are spacious and nicely laid out. There is a lot of seating and areas to gather together for meals and hanging out, but enough space to hang out on your own if you need to get away from the crowd (we were a group of 10). You will likely not want to leave the home but if you do, we really enjoyed that Ficus Villas includes membership to the Pinilla Beach Club, which was amazing. Mergie and the property management team are super responsive answering any questions we had, and even helped us set up a horseback riding excursion at the last minute which was wonderful. We hope to be back soon to this wonderful oasis :)

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.

Paradise with all the amenities

This house is a stunner, perfect for a big family or group of friends vacationing together. Open kitchen with state-of-the art appliances and a beautiful living room area that opens up into a gorgeous pool and terrace. Outside, there's another big area with an outdoor kitchen and plush couches, plus the cutest basket swing seats hanging from big trees. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. If that wasn't enough, it's located in a private community that has tennis courts, a beach club with pool and full service tiki bar, AND a manicured bike path for mountain bikiing with rentals available! You are close to Tamarindo and all its fun restaurants, shops, and surf spots. Cannot recommend this house highly enough.

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.

Luxury with all of the activities

The highlights of the property: - Large outdoor entertainment area with grill table sinks and tables and chairs. This provides you lots more room for guests to enjoy themselves in different areas of the home. - Large distance between the bedrooms. The separate structure for half the bedrooms gives guests privacy, as does the distance between the bedrooms within the house structure. - Challenging and leisure mountain biking trails. The Hacienda Pinilla bike shop rents very nice modern mountain bikes, including electric touring bikes. The trails have a large variety of challenges and amazing views by the beach. - Horseback riding, diving/snorkeling and other leisure boat rentals are nearby and very easy to schedule. - The surfing is world class, and the beach club makes it very easy to grab a board and enjoy the surf or just swim by the pool with a drink and food. This is really the main attraction and the beach club makes things very easy. - The main living area is a great congregation with an open kitchen, lots of social space and it feels like a large single area with a pool. Oh, yeah it has an amazing pool that brings everything together. The space is very clean and well maintained. No issues with the plumbing security or parking. When we went there were some bumpy unpaved roads but it's mostly paved. You can still make a big supermarket nearby with ease.

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

Where do I begin? This was an absolutely amazing stay! I booked this house for a bachelorette trip for 15 girls, it ended up being 12 but the space was perfect! We had an ample amount of space to hang out and relax, the outdoor patio was a frequent hang-out spot. Jose, Mergie and the rest of the Vida Pinilla team were amazing when it came to communication and helping set up things for our arrival. I would definitely recommend using the pre-stocking option unless you have your own transportation. The villa is secluded which is nice for privacy but you have to drive everywhere. The house was clean upon arrival and Erica, the housekeeper made sure it stayed that way and also prepared us breakfast. (No service is provided Sunday). We also enjoyed having the washer/dryers available. It rained a few times we were there, but the house was so spacious and had many entertainment options, that we didn’t feel like we wasted any of our vacation. I would definitely recommend this property for large groups! Everyone in my group throughly enjoyed their stay.
