We had a wonderful 3 week stay at Casa Kenkai in Hacienda Pinilla thanks to Stay in Tamarindo. Elsa and Daniel were incredibly responsive, helpful, and available to help organize all our tours, car rental, booking a chef, and pretty much anything we had a question about. It was a seamless planning process and they even worked with multiple people from our family, coming in at different dates. We had meals prepared by two different chef services, both professional and with delicious meals. My son said he felt like we were living in a castle! The house is spacious, with lots of light coming in from the huge windows and accommodated our group very comfortably. The resort property is lovely, private, safe, and has nice amenities (restaurant, pool, beach, gym) to add to the already wonderful comfortable house with a pool. We hope to be back very very soon!!

The property was perfect and spacious for our group of 6! Elsa made sure we had everything we needed during our stay, she helped with all of our transportation, activities, and restaurant reservations when we went to Tamarindo. We even had a private chef our first night at the property which was amazing and I highly recommend. Hacienda Panilla is tucked away so having transportation secured is important, but overall we felt very safe and would stay here again. Thank you!!!

Casa Kenkai is your best option to go and enjoy Hacienda Pinilla and the North Pacific of Costa Rica. It's just perfect! It is cozy, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and what I liked the most is that they installed new and better furniture! It is our favorite when we visit with my family. We love having breakfast and taking advantage of the outside area. We really like that the social area is integrated but at the same time the rooms have a lot of privacy. Perfect to go with friends or family. What we like the most is the view of the golf course. We see different animals such as deer but simply the green view is fascinating.

Fantastic Trip!
My family had a truly wonderful stay at Casa Kenkai. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed including lots of pots, towels and a great espresso machine. There was also a lovely outdoor shower in the main bedroom (in addition to the regular shower). My boys (6 and 9) loved spending time in the beautiful pool (which was cleaned and maintained during our stay), The location was also great-there are so many restaurants to choose from and lovely beaches to visit. Elsa was incredibly helpful and responsive. Before the trip, she helped plan transportation for our arrival. She also recommended activities and made reservations for us based on the best things to do for kids. She suggested restaurants and was super responsive if we had questions. We felt very at home and well-take care of. It was a fantastic trip! We would definitely choose to stay at Casa Kenkai again.

We loved staying at Casa Kenkai! The whole Stay in Tamarindo team was amazing to work with. They helped us organize tour, transportations, and everything we might’ve needed. The location is a bit of a drive from the Tamarindo area but you have everything you need in Hacienda Pinilla. 100% recommend getting golf carts to be able to move around the area since the distances are pretty far to walk

Amazing Week at Casa Kenkai
My family spent the last week at casa Kenkai. Its was amazing. We have stayed at Hacienda Pinilla before and as always they are on top it! Elsa our concierge helped us plan out a number of excursions and events. The house was perfect for our family of 5 (each kid got a bedroom- they did rock, scissors, paper, to see who got the one with the solo bathroom). Great open layout to hang out and have dinner. We used the private chef services to make us dinner 4 times. Washer and dryer was convenient. The pool was great. Always warm due to the weather. Honestly nothing was really wrong with the house. Ice maker didn't work perfect but they came and fixed. You could hear the howler monkeys every morning and we saw deer on the course course from the backyard. Tons of birds too. Definitely need a golf cart or car though. We will be back sometime next year.....

Perfect stay at Casa Kenkai
My family and I loved our stay at Casa Kenkai while visiting Costa Rica. The house is beautiful and was well equipped with everything we needed. We were traveling with 3 kids and they loved the pool and we all enjoyed the relaxing outdoor seating and dining area. Elsa made our trip easy from communication before we arrived to helping us plan a snorkeling outing. Woild highly recommend a stay here! We can’t wait to return

Just returned from our stay at Casa Kenkai and can’t wait to return! We were traveling with 3 kids ages 10-13 and 3 adults. Elsa made the trip easy - from preparing for our visit, arrival and our stay - it was so easy and wonderful! The house was well appointed, clean and comfortable.

When I first booked it was great communication between the host and I. Before I traveled the host was able to provide everything I needed upon arrival. My friends and I enjoyed every part of the home. The home was clean, nice, spacious, and had everything we needed. I can’t thank the host enough for providing everything before and during our stay. When traveling internationally this makes everything so much BETTER. I would recommend to anyone and stay again in the future!!!

Adoramos o período que passamos em Hacienda Pinilla, Reserva de Golf. A casa é super bem localizada e está de acordo com as fotos. Tem uma vista maravilhosa para o campo de golf. Os quartos são bons, o espaço é confortável. A área externa também é muito gostosa. Recomendo esta estadia e voltaria com certeza para lá! Nossas férias na Costa Rica foram maravilhosas!!

Beautiful home in a safe and lush resort
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful villa in the Hacienda Pinilla resort. The home was modern, clean with large open spaces and sliding doors opening to a beautiful pool area. Great home to stay in during the pandemic in case members of the party need to isolate; and the large windows and doors allow for ample air movement. All four rooms are private, well sized and comfortable. The pool was wonderful and we all thoroughly enjoyed daily swims. Kitchen is well appointed; generous laundry room. We could hear howler monkeys and beautiful bird song throughout the day. We never felt unsafe ( we were alarmed by some reviews on other VRBO stand-alone properties mentioning night time burglaries, which is why we selected this particular property.) Security is excellent. Tamarindo has wonderful restaurants; we particularly enjoyed Dragonfly and Green Papaya, but the home and kitchen is so lovely that we spent several days just enjoying the home and resort. Car recommended. Buy the local mosquito repellant; according to the experienced local guides, the local repellant is much more effective. Highly recommend! Thanks for the great memories!

What a trip!! Just returned from our 5 days at Casa Kenkai. We had 2 couples here, each in their own en-suite, with enough room to be together and have room to spread out. The house was beautiful, with everything we needed and more. The outdoor pool area with fans kept us cool while we ate meals outside together. The grill was great to have for lunchtime while we hung out in the pool. I can’t speak highly enough about the crew we were lucky to have host us in Costa Rica. Elsa and Miriam thank you for everything! Pura Vida

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Kenkai. The house was beautiful, clean and exactly as described. Kitchen was well appointed, all appliances in good working condition. Internet was fast and reliable. Ample space for two families to have privacy. Cleaner and pool maintenance person were efficient and thorough. Our concierge/guest manager, Elsa Verges, was extremely helpful and available for any questions we had. She provided helpful information on day trips, road hazards etc. We felt safe, and were able to enjoy the larger Hacienda Pinilla resort as well as the surrounding Tamarindo area without any issues. We would highly recommend this home and hope to return soon!

We had an amazing time at Casa Kenkai. Elsa was amazing throughout the booking process and also helped us out a lot before we arrived and while we were in the property. Always very responsive and helped us with many activities and bookings to make the stay great for everyone. The house was located in a large gated community and felt very private and extremely safe. The house looks even better than the photos and it feels new and was very well stocked. We would use Stay in Tamarindo and Elsa and stay in this house again. Pura Vida!

Amazing Stay at Casa Kenkay / An oasis in front of the Golf Course
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Kenkai. The House was impecable and so was the service with Stay in Tamarindo. The house is very spacious and the pool is stunning! With direct view to the golf course is the perfect spot to relax at night or when you get tired of the beach. Hacienda Pinilla is my favorite place in Guanacaste, is beautiful, clean, and you can have golf, surf, jugging, trail running, mountain bike and several different beaches just in one plase. Looking forward to visiting again soon! Thanks!

Brand new house, beautiful view to the golf course, good swimming pool, easy access to three beaches in Hacienda Pinilla. The house has all the amenities one needs for a couple of days, and sufficient beds for up to 8 people (we were just 4, so more than plenty of room). Only one TV (ok, who needs one, you're here on holiday). Parking in the garage for up to 2 vehicles). Communication with Elsa (agent) was excellent.
