We enjoyed our stay. The house was awesome. The daily house cleaning was very nice. We enjoyed the nearby beaches. There were some road closures during our stay that made travel to activities more difficult.

Probably one of the most beautifully designed homes we've ever stayed in through Vrbo. Structurally solid as well. It's the kind of place you never have to leave to have a good time. Management is incredibly accommodating and prompt in responding. The only issue was that maintenance was slow to address a few issues. Main problem was the light over the stove was never repaired - probably not an issue for most but as a couple of are serious chefs in the kitchen it was a little troublesome. Would definitely come back or try some of their other properties.

We had a wonderful stay in Tamarindo and would highly recommend this property.The home was absolutely beautiful and exactly as described in the listing. Everything was very well maintained, and the host guidebook was very helpful in explaining how to use the electronics, appliances, and other features in the house, which made our stay especially comfortable.The concierge team was exceptional. They were incredibly helpful with everything we needed—from directions and restaurant recommendations to reservations, transportation, shopping, referrals, and general questions about the area. No matter what we asked, they responded very quickly and always made things easy for us.We also arranged for someone to come in and help prepare breakfast, which was such a wonderful addition to our stay. The entire house staff was kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful.The combination of the beautiful property, wonderful staff, and excellent concierge service made our time in Tamarindo truly enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend both this property and the area to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. We would happily stay here again!

We had a truly magical vacation at Villa Solana. The house is gorgeous and the outside is even better than pictured, with so many options to keep kids entertained. The property management was very responsive and helpful with any and every question we had before and throughout our trip. Our housekeeper Gabriella was also wonderful and had the house looking beautiful every day. We will most definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay with 12 of us over spring break. The communication from the host was excellent throughout the process! The house was very pretty. We loved the pool. We took advantage of the local chefs (Garrett and Gaston both fantastic!!) and enjoyed the house. We went to local beaches, Lola’s, Il Rustico and KonTiki pizza as well. The beds and pillows were a bit too firm for many guests…only issue we heard of. Close the doors always…we found a scorpion or two while there. Oh…the monkeys are amazing!! Right in the trees on property. Thank you again!

Let me start by saying that we absolutely loved the Villa and all it had to offer. The house was fabulous, clean, well maintained and perfectly suited for a large group like ours. We enjoyed all the extras, sauna, cold plunge and the e-bikes were a definite hit! Karla was amazing, we really appreciated everything she for us. The only down side was the problem with the alarm and the lack of internet for the last 3 days.

AMAZING STAY

Our stay at Villa Pinilla was incredible! The perfect balance of relaxation and wellness. The house itself felt like a private retreat, with a beautiful lap pool, rejuvenating sauna, and an invigorating cold plunge that made every morning feel like a reset. It’s just a short walk to the beach and a quick fun bike ride (the house provides awesome Murf Electric bikes) to some of the best surf in the area, which made it easy to spend the days in and out of the water. The staff were attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel effortless. We left feeling healthier, happier, and already planning our next visit.

Beautiful house with plenty of room for our 2 families. Each room has it's own bathroom (2 kings with en suite, 2 additional bedrooms upstairs with their own bathrooms in the hallway, and the casita has a bathroom as well that doubles as the pool bath). The kids had a blast in the pool, on the soccer field and with the ping pong table. The husbands loved the cold plunge and sauna. We rented golf carts to access the close by beaches but our favorite was Playa Negra, a short drive away. Highly recommend!

Family and Friends Getaway

We were a group of 17 and the house provided plenty of space for all of us. The house was beautiful and very well maintained. Carla’s breakfasts were amazing and the perfect way to start each day. The beach club was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed all of the amenities. Everyone had a blast on the e-bikes. We also appreciated the group chat to immediately address any questions. The ATV experience was the favorite event for the kids!

We enjoyed Villa Solana very much. The pool, sports field and ping pong table offered a lot of opportunities to get out with the kids and play. Hacienda Pinilla is an amazing development and has much to offer with golf, horseback riding and the beach club to name a few. We took many walks down to the beach with was only a couple hundred yards from the home. The home was meticulously cared for and showed very nicely.

Perfect in Everyway Family Vacation!

Villa Solana exceeded our expectations, the house, the pool, the service! The pool, long walks along the beach, wave jumping in the ocean and the sunsets!!! It was hard to leave the resort area (some of us didn't). Our family of 7 adults had THE most amazing time. The house was spacious enough for everyone and yet drew everyone together to play games, swim and share meals. This was by far our best family vacation ever. Thank you!

Great stay

Overall, we had a great stay at Villa Solana. The team was quite responsive and the amenities were wonderful. The only issue preventing me from 5-star rating was a water issue that occurred on two days, leading to either no water or no hot water in some bathrooms. Eventually, a maintenance crew was able to replace a pump after a couple days. Other than that inconvenience everything was great!

We loved Villa Solana for our multi generation family gathering. First of all the house is stunning and there was plenty of room for the whole family. The house setting is peaceful and we could walk to the beach to watch the sunset. The staff was amazing and help us curate the perfect vacation for our family. And the in house housekeeper went above and beyond to make the house look at its best at all times. Not to mention she made the most delicious breakfast! We can't wait to return to Villa Solana!

Incredible house, neighborhood and staff

We had such an incredible stay here and couldn’t recommend it more. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The house was absolutely spotless and clearly very well maintained. It truly felt like every detail had been thought through—there wasn’t a single thing we needed that wasn’t already there. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, cookware, cups, bowls, and everything else you’d expect (and more), which made it really easy to settle in and feel at home. Beyond the basics, the amenities were amazing—e-bikes for exploring, plenty of games to keep everyone entertained, and standout features like the sauna and cold plunge that made the stay feel like a luxury wellness retreat. The outdoor space was just as impressive. The pool was beautiful and perfect for relaxing, and the soccer field was such a fun bonus—especially for the kids, who spent hours out there playing. It’s not often you find a place that balances relaxation and activity so well for all ages. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we all slept great every night. On top of everything, the staff was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay, which made a big difference. One thing we really appreciated was how safe and secure the property felt. It gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. Overall, this place checks every box—clean, well-equipped, fun, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
