If I could give more stars, I would! I spent two weeks in Costa Rica & I chose to spend my second week at Golden Pineap & wow, this property is truly magical. I came here to rest, breathe and reconnect with myself after an intense week of deep inner work. As a business owner and a single mother of three, I live in a constant “go, go, go” lifestyle and this was the first time in a long time that I allowed myself to simply be. Golden Pineap was the perfect place for that. The views here are unbelievable; mountains, ocean, jungle, clouds rolling in, sunsets that look like paintings. Normally on vacation I feel like I need to explore and do a million things, but here I didn’t have to go anywhere. I could relax in my villa and feel completely content. The private pool, the outdoor bathtub, the rainfall shower, the peaceful design, everything felt intentional and soothing. It was exactly what my mind, body, and soul needed. And the staff; what can I even say? Every single person I encountered had the kindest energy and the warmest heart. Pablo, Mario, Leo; each of them went above and beyond, but Leo truly went the extra mile in every way. I felt supported, cared for, and safe, even traveling solo. If you’re considering a massage, please book with Liliana, her hands are absolutely magical. This was the perfect place to end my CR journey. It gave me rest, clarity, and a deep sense of peace that I haven’t felt in years. And the icing on the cake? Finding out this is a woman-owned!

Staying at the Golden Pineapple villas was the highlight of our trip. Perfect location with walking distance to the waterfall. The drive there is a little steep at times, so just make sure to have a four wheel drive car to get there. The staff were all very friendly, had such great recommendations for getting around and navigating tourist areas of Costa Rica. They were helpful in me trying to practice Spanish and taught us some Spanish phrases used in Costa Rica and taught us about the Costa Rican culture. Very personable staff! Me and my husband were here on our honeymoon and it’s so hard to pick a place in Costa Rica because the options are endless- the Golden Pineapple is a true hidden gem with money very well spent. We had a private pool and bathtub which were both absolutely breathtaking. If you want a quiet, romantic get away and/or love being in nature I Highly highly recommend staying here! When we went to another part of Costa Rica we kept saying we wished we were back at the Golden Pineapple!

We stayed 4 nights, 5 days at Golden Pineapple and wish we never had to leave. We felt right at home the whole time, from the minute Marlon picked us up from SJO. Marlon, Pablo, and Leo were seriously so sweet, friendly, and attentive the whole time. The property is beautiful and well maintained daily. If you choose to stay and relax the whole time you absolutely could with no complaints. They also help you accommodate any excursions or beach days if you like and will take you there for an extra cost. The food is delicious, you can choose to dine at their outdoor restaurant or room service. Everything we tried was amazing and the prices were fair. Gracias por todo! Siempre nos acordaremos de Uds con mucho cariño y nos vemos pronto!

My husband and I came here on our honeymoon mid June. This place is wonderful. It feels so incredibly private and peaceful. In fact, we hardly even saw other guests while there. The villas are lovely and the views are phenomenal. The villas have a kitchen which is fully stocked (plates, silverware, pots, etc) as well as complimentary drinks inside the fridge each day. The outdoor shower and tub are great. The staff are lovely. They take the time to get to know you and your names. They are very kind. The food was great. If you haven’t figured it out from other reviews, you absolutely need to have a 4x4 vehicle to get here! I will admit the drive up was kinda scary sometimes, but it gets better after you do it a few times. There are pretty steep dirt roads to get here. And have good brakes on the car for the way down! A few tips: -bring bug spray, there are lots of insects everywhere. -bring earplugs if you need to sleep in quiet. The wildlife can be loud at night! -there are shades over the windows in your villa, but they don’t really block light. The sun rises very early and it gets very bright. Bring a sleep mask if that’s something you need! -we shopped at the BM Supermercado right in Uvita, it was very convenient. We saw toucans and other amazing birds right from the hotel. You truly are in the jungle here, it’s amazing! I would definitely recommend staying here. Out of all the exploring we did while in CR, Uvita was definitely the best place to be!

We had total privacy, a wonderful plunge pool and a view across the trees and valley to the Pacific, sunsets and Uvitas whale's tail, a huge sand bar that appears and disappears with the tide. The food was very good, but not excellent. It is luxurious and everyone tries really, really hard to please guests. Toucans and other birds stopped by our patio, 10 feet away. We enjoyed our stay very much.
