We spent an amazing week in Hacienda Pinilla mid December. Our daughter and her husband along with our son joined my wife and I. The men played 5 rounds of golf and visited the beach club most days after the rounds. My wife and daughter enjoyed their mornings walking to the beach club for breakfast, exercising in the workout room, or just hanging by our own pool and reading.
We enjoyed some fabulous dinners @ Lola's, Il Rustico, & Barumis. We also spent an afternoon in Tamarindo and later enjoyed dinner at Pangas Beach Club. We always love Lola's and Il Rustico, and they didn't disappoint. Burumis was a nice change of pace, their Burgers and Fish Sandwich are really tasty.
The workout room @ the Beach club provided us what we needed to get a nice workout in during the week. Also, we never made a reservation for golf, just showed up around 8am, had a great breakfast, then went off as a threesome and regularly played in 3.5 hours. The golf is very affordable and the course is extremely challenging from the Blue Tees. A great mix of holes , fast greens, and an expansive practice area. Order the breakfast buriito, the best ever!
The beach club was quiet and offered great service. The indoor restaurant serves an amazing lunch. We also enjoyed the ocean doing some bogey boarding in the afternoons.
The days were hot, but the nights very comfortable. We regularly played cards after dinner before getting a great night's sleep as the beds are very comfortable and air conditioning is easily adjusted in each bedroom. The house and pool are so clean and comfortable, great set up and we loved the outdoor patio in the mornings. Seeing a pod of monkeys a few mornings made for a nice surprise.
Overall, just an amazing and relaxing week with some phenomenal healthy food, thank you.
