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.
