Outstanding Place to Stay!

I loved my stay at Pinilla Highlands. The views are amazing and the pool was perfect for a dip or to swim laps. The staff, Yuri, Hazel, and O'Neil, went out of their way to make sure your stay was perfect. It was so calm and serene. I went there to heal and received so much more than I ever would have expected. I went to various beaches most days. The only negative would be the dirt roads to get to Pinilla Highlands. I highly recommend this wonderful place to stay!!!

Villa Kantuta, Pinilla Highlands

The information for the site appeared we were the only ones staying there. Another guest said the same thing. We enjoyed the company of the other guests and happy it was safe and not crowded, especially in the pool and under the canopy for sun protection. Howler monkeys were seen daily in the trees as we walked along the roadside. It is not far from Tamarindo but the roads are very rough and must drive very slowly. We were there in the dry season so no streams to cross. Netflix and Alexa were a bonus. We stayed a wk. A distance from restaurants, we prepared meals on site. Thank You.

About the host

Hosted by Alejandro Escobar

Host profile image
I am passionate about traveling and learning about new cultures. Lived in Brazil, Thailand and Virginia in the states. Look foward to host you.

Why they chose this property

Pinilla highlands is located in the hills overlooking Hacienda Pinilla and Playa Avellanas. You can see Tamarindo and Langosta in the distance.
It is very quiet and peaceful, and you can hear the Howler Monkeys usually in the mornings and evenings.
It’s nice to be so close to town and the great surf spots, yet feel so far away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Pinilla Highlands is a very quiet and relaxing residential neighborhood that combined the perfect mountain-ocean environment. Away from the noise of traffic, I always enjoy the mountain breeze and panoramic views. Love to share paradise with you.
