The beach club's infinity-edge pool looks over the white sand and famous waves of Playa Avellanas. The Beach Club has something for everyone whether it's cocktails or fruit smoothies from the poolside Tiki Bar, relaxing in the poolside sunbeds, surfing any one of the world-class waves that line Playa Avellanas, working out in the ocean view fitness center, or relaxing with a massage in the wellness center, it’s the ultimate beach day!

Playa Mansita home of the JW Marriott hotel, is a beautiful flat water sandy bay enclosed by a reef lagoon, here you will find great snorkeling and beautiful tide pools at low tide
Playa Langosta, world-class surfing, beach, and river fishing. We believe Langosta to be the hidden gem of Hacienda Pinilla, the shaded palapas are a great spot for a beach day in the shade, and your are just a stroll and river crossing from the action of Playa Langosta and Tamarindo

Rancho Alegre DESIGN
The design concept was to create an open-plan indoor-outdoor living space that allows a large family to enjoy both the open-air tropical climate and or retreat, to cool, air-conditioned spaces. This was achieved through the conscious use of extended shaded terraces adjacent to every living area throughout the home. Every room has individual cooling with personal split AC units and all bedrooms have double-lined blackout blinds.

Whether it is retreating to privacy for your afternoon siesta on your personal hammock decking, watching a game at the poolside bar, or drinking cocktails in the pool


Rancho Alegre LOCATION
Set on the 2nd hole of the exclusive Hacienda Pinilla golf course there is an abundance of nature and privacy that surrounds the property. Howler monkeys, roaming deer and flying macaws are all daily sights from the poolside lounge.

Leaving the gated community it is just a short golf cart ride down to the beach club on the white sand of Playa Avellanas.

The house was amazing. Pool is large. Resort pool we used quite a bit and the beach is just for the community which was awesome. Joel and the concierge group were pretty good. They provide a lot of great information but dropped the ball several times. Came home one night and lost all water function to the entire house. It basically had lost power and reset. Had a few days with no working coffee pot and had a large restaurant reservation made by their team that did not exist when we got there. The GTxpedition group that helped with tours was excellent. Small things but overall it was a fantastic week

Beautiful house, far from things

We had an absolute blast. The house was BEAUTIFUL, pictures didn’t do it justice! We LOVED our house keeper, she made delicious breakfast for us daily and was super friendly/helpful! Had great communication with host and security at the gate was never an issue like some reviews had mentioned. It did take a solid 10 minutes to get out of the neighborhood which was a bummer. Between traffic and washed away roads with a LOT of potholes it did take a while to get to beaches/restaurants etc.

Amazing house but difficult in a few ways

The house itself was great, the pool and large bedrooms and open concept layout made it a real winner for the whole group. Some issues I had were with the hosts. Communicating with them was a coin toss, and they’re only available 8am to 5pm so if you need help with anything past 5 pm, you’re out of luck which was inconvenient since places I’ve stayed at before are usually responsive whenever needed. The location is very secure in the hacienda pinilla community but this made getting transportation really difficult and I think that needs to be made more clear. They say you have access to all these things like the tennis courts and the resort but there’s no way to get to them unless you have a car or golf cart which is around $100 a day. This also makes getting food really difficult. Also every car has to be approved for the gate entrance so everytime I needed someone approved I had to message the host (who would be unavailable after 5 pm), making things very inconvenient. Cleanliness- overall it was really good, there was some issues with alot of bugs in the bedroom restrooms but besides that it’s a very well taken care of and beautiful house. I think my main takeaway is the location issue, If you do not have a car then you’ll have to be okay with the following- being in a neighborhood that takes 12 minutes to get out of and has no access to food deliveries and difficult to get transportation.

Perfect

Don’t be put off by the lack of reviews-it is just because it is a brand new listing! House is even better than the pictures show. It had 4 master suites plus a bunk room plus 2 living/hang out rooms. Plenty of bathrooms, living space, and a huge kitchen. The housekeeping was excellent and friendly. The management is where this property really shines though-they helped us arrange everything: grocery delivery, a private chef, activities, airport pick up, restaurant suggestions…it was amazing. They could not have been any more helpful. Unless you want to be directly on ocean (this house is about a 5 minute golf cart ride down to water), stay here! It is 100% worth it.
