About Hacienda Pinilla
Hacienda Pinilla is a 4,500-acre gated resort community south of Tamarindo with an 18-hole golf course, beach club, equestrian centre, private villas and the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort on its own stretch of Playa Mansita. Miles of paved and trail roads wind through dry forest to three beaches.
It appeals to golfers, families renting villas and guests who want a secure, self-contained resort with Tamarindo's restaurants 15 minutes away.
