Great for birdwatching and wonderful cuisine. Private setting for relaxing and being at peace with nature and great ocean views

Where to start Treated by Juan with a cold sparking pineapple drink Walking through main bar , pool ( shared area) was breathe taking - We staying in villa 4 - first class property with comfortable bed / pillows and an unbeatable view over the whale tail Wild life a plenty flying across vista The food was incredible and staff , particular Marlon’s constant smile and chuckle made us feel at home - Jessie and Oval - you have a gem of a property. We were sad to leave Bryn / Georgina

This place was magical. The drive up the mountain was an adventure. Place is safe and guarded my security. The villas are beautiful and clean. It was breathtaking. The staff so nice and quick with all their services. The room was cleaned everyday and smelled so good. The restaurant was so convenient to have right next to us. We could eat at the restaurant or order our food to eat in our villa which was great on the days we were very tired from excursions. It was better than I could imagine.

Wow. Just wow. First up - Leo was our host and was awesome. Great work Leo! All the staff was great. I'm tired of booking hotels that look good in the pictures then turn out to be disappointing. Golden Pineapple goes the other way. It's breathtaking. Everything here is top notch. I won't repeat everyone else, the rooms are amazing. Outdoor showers, tub and personal pool - brilliant. You can sit outside, (naked if you want!), in your own suite surrounded by jungle mountainside watching CR birds and animals around you. I was worried about the restaurant prices being too high. They are not - in my opinion they match most other table restaurants or even lower than most other 4-5 star hotel restaurants, in my experience. And the food is excellent - a little more rich than fresh, but still quite pleasing. This hotel is on a mountain and the road to access it is too. Don't be a hero. You're not getting up here with a 2wd car. If the rentals are all out of 4wd then you're paying for the taxi. This is the only downside of being here, the taxis are now charging $25 USD per trip from the nearby town. (Feb 2024). That adds up if you want to go out a lot. But honestly, book this hotel just to stay in the beautiful room and relax!

Quiet private. Good place to unwind after very active trip.

Very special and private place. Our villa was nicely decorated and had a nice private pool with view of the ocean. The staff was outstanding. First night we ordered room service for dinner. The breakfasts and the dinner the following night we had in the central building with a great view of the whale tale. We appreciated the quiet and very private villa while having access to a large pool and the amenities of full stacked bar and restaurant. A nice touch was the welcome sign and the artfully sliced pineapple as a welcome gift. One word of caution. This place is only reachable with a 4WD. It is impossible to climb up the hill otherwise. We highly recommend this place and will be back some time in the future.

We loved our stay here. Marlon, Leo and Juan were absolutely amazing! This villa is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures.

Great place to relax and being in touch with nature and your partner/family, the service, the Villa and the food was great

Completely enjoyable and relaxing. Service was attentive to all our needs and was so complete we just stayed instead of going out and exploring. Wonderful view overlooking the ocean and Marino Bellena park. Delightful owner. Despite being a small hotel, the restaurant delivered very good food for all the meals during our stay.

Stayed here last year and forgot to review. I recommend this stay for everyone. and my wife and I met the owner who was amazing. They have great customer service and beautiful view.

We celebrate our 14 year wedding anniversary. Staff was friendly professional food was amazing awesome breathtaking atmosphere

This place is stunningly beautiful, both the hotel and the location. The owner Jessie and her staff were kind, hospitable and welcoming. The restaurant only serves the guests of the hotel, so it is small, nevertheless the food was very good. It was the highlight of our trip to CR.

The food was awful and overpriced! If your not doing breakfast don’t eat! You can spend 3 times even with cab fare in the city with better exclusive food. The food was trying to hard and nothing native to the land…,, they tried to hard with the food nachos tacos pizza is native but not on the menu…

The absolute best place I have ever stayed, I can’t even put into words how beautiful this place was! If you are pondering this place don’t! Just book it you won’t be upset I promise!

I wanted to test myself to something amazing for my 50th birthday and this was it! The villa was amazing and the scenery was nothing short of breath taking. The food and drinks were excellent. Man....I loved it! You MUST have a 4x4. DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT!! Especially the first night!! Very steep and dark. Lesson learned. *lol*

Everything was absolutely perfect! Beautiful villa, beautiful views, wildlife. All of the staff were so helpful and very accommodating, anything we needed they were happy to make happen. The staff at golden pineapple went above and beyond during our stay there and i will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Our stay at The Golden Pineapple Villas exceeded our expectations! Everything was amazing from the time we arrived to our departure. The room, view, and ambiance are breathtaking!! The food was amazing, the staff is friendly, helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. The owner Jessie is so communicative and really cares about her guest.

The view is amazing, the staff are very personable, and the rooms are requisite. To be so comfortable in a space in the midst of the jungle and jungle sounds was a beautiful experience. Jessie has created a lush and welcoming escape here.

Beautiful view!!!

This property is beautiful!!!! The staff is AMAZING!!!! The drinks and food cooked at the resort are really good. The only issue I had was my wife and I are not home bodies. We like to get out and explore the country. This resort is located on a mountain. The resort is only 1.5 miles up the mountain from the main road where stores and restaurants are. But every time you want to go down the mountain it’s $20 one way. So that’s $40 round trip. So it can be expensive if you didn’t rent a car. This resort provides no transportation. But if you are a home body and just want the peace of nature, this won’t be a issue.

Wonderful place, we’ll worth the drive, really spectacular!

Hands down one of the best properties I’ve been to. The proof was in the attention to details on this property. From the staff to the facilities to the exceptional architecture and decor, this was truly a stay to remember. Marlin was a wonderful host. Kuddos to Jessie as well for establishing this tiny gem with a view. I would highly recommend this place to any of my friends or family. Job well done.

This stay exceeded my expectations and was everything I needed! Very peaceful. Staff was awesome. Food was amazing. Sights were beautiful

Overall the property and service was excellent! Clean place and great views of the coast. Make sure that you rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle to access the property (you will need it as it is a good 5-8 drive up the mountain)!
