Golden Pineapple Villas-Adults Only

This amazing rainforest sanctuary retreat above the little town of Uvita was just remarkable. We’ve stayed at many special places all around the globe and this is our number one favorite to-date. We read earlier reviews about people who stayed and didn’t venture out from their villa, which we couldn’t understand until we got there. We did explore CR each day and found this quiet location to be perfectly located near all the adventures we were seeking: waterfalls, snorkeling, hiking, beaches, national parks, and more. The service at Golden Pineapple is astounding —- welcoming, gracious and authentic. We felt genuinely cared for, and each morning at breakfast, staff helped us curate our experiences for the day - we learned about many places we wouldn’t have found on our own. The restaurant is top notch - unexpected for us foodies, given the relatively small number of guests. We had breakfast and dinner here nearly every one of our 5-day stay, and the poolside vibe is just perfection. Vegan? They got you covered with a dedicated menu. We felt spoiled! Housekeeping was immaculate and invisible. Amenities were great! We are nespresso ******* at home and we’re very pleasantly surprised by the expresso machines in the room. Lots of options for snacks/drinks to purchase in the room, also super convenient. We took a dip in our private plunge pool every early evening and relaxed for what we called “the 5pm show” of birds - toucans, macaws, and so many more that we couldn’t identify. The coatis also made a few appearances in the tree just outside our bedroom, foraging for breakfast. I’m sure they’re the CR equivalent of squirrels but we just loved them. One of the reasons we chose CR was for the promise of wildlife, and couldn’t believe how much of it we saw right outside our bedroom window. Sunsets are world class, views of the ocean also stunning. Can’t give high enough praise for the culture that’s been created at this very special place. You do have to work hard to make it up and down “the mountain” and it’s worth every 4x4 moment. If it’s not already, this will be one of those places that books up for many months in advance, it’s that amazing.

Amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was great and the location awesome. The room has everything you need (nice shampoos etc), fresh towels and linens everyday, views are amazing. The toucans at our tree were more than awesome, and I loved relaxing to the view and the private dip pool. I have nothing bad to say. They were attentive, and always smiling, as well as always having suggestions on where to go or what to eat. A very special trip!

This is a really peaceful, relaxing place to stay. Marlon, Pablo and Leo are very helpful and attentive, and the housekeeping team is first class. The food and drinks are very good. The views are off the scale, we loved sitting outside our room looking at the whale tail and watching all the birds. The villa is very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. In hindsight we wished we'd had a hire car. The team were really helpful getting us taxis but the bills add up quite quickly.

This place is stunning! Marlon, Leo all of the staff are incredibly accommodating. The food; drinks are top tier. Nothing beats the view. The trip up to the resort is a little scary, but my friend knew how to traverse the land. You definitely need a truck going up the mountain. I can not wait to return. See you soon, Pura Vida!
