Second floor is a great place to watch the sun set with a nice glass of wine or cocktail.
The best beaches for surfing and swimming are Playa Avellanas (turn Left after the Reserva de Golf guard house), continue straight past JW Marriott and turn right at the next large landscape island.
The other great beach inside Hacienda Pinilla is Playa Langosta. This one is about a mile long and is great for walking and swimming (boogey-board). It is generally pretty private. To get to it turn right at the guard house continue to the intersection where you see the wooden signs for Hacienda Pinilla offices. Now turn left onto a good dirt road and drive about 2 minutes and you will see a parking lot on the left in the woods. From here you are right at the beach.

Souvenirs
Please take a morning and visit the pottery making town of Guaitil. It is approximately 1 hour away (20 minutes from Santa Cruz). In this beautiful village you will see traditional pottery making by families of Chorotega natives. If you go, please stop and meet a wonderful pottery family in town. Susan and her husband Jesus have their pottery store/home on the left at the end of the square when you enter the town. There is a large pottery oven in front of their house. Tell Susan that you know Lyne and John Guy from Hacienda Pinilla. I highly recommend going to Guaitil!
