Hacienda Blu

Hacienda Blu at Playa Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Project Overview

Hacienda Blu is a strategic beach club redevelopment located in the highly sought-after region of Playa Papagayo. Designed as the first phase of a larger hospitality vision, the project transforms an existing structure into a refined, experience-driven commercial destination.

Rooted in restoration and forward planning, Hacienda Blu bridges the existing built environment with a long-term development strategy, laying the foundation for a scalable, high-impact coastal venue.

Hacienda Blu is a 4,000 sq. ft. commercial beach club renovation, focused on reimagining and elevating an existing structure as the starting point of a multi-phase development.

This first phase establishes the design language, operational flow, and experiential foundation for future expansions, which will include large open areas and resort-style amenities designed to accommodate both intimate and high-capacity use.

  • In my 20 years in Costa Rica, Grupo Pacifico has truly been a friend and bright spot. Tatiana Vandruff and her team literally saved my house construction from 2 crooked contractors who stole my money. She allowed by careful inspection to proceed with completion until I found a third honest contractor to complete it. Our house by her design survived an earthquake at 7.2 with no damage. This is an honest, competent and dedicated firm. I have no reservations in recommending them.

  • We highly value our working relationship with Tatiana and Corbin. They helped us with a difficult situation by rescuing us from a non-performing contractor and getting our house finished to a high standard. They are fantastic group of dedicated knowledgeable, hard-working people. We highly recommend them.

  • Tatjana and her team have been fantastic in designing, planning and the execution of the construction of our office building in Flamingo across from the Marina. She is not only a pleasure to work with on a personal basis but has a deep know how and expertise to get things done the right way. Throughout the construction she made sure that all things went as planned and her execution was impeccable.

  • We've done business with Group Pacifico Design and Construction numerous times since the purchase of our CR vacation home in 2012. Interior home remodel, including kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, palapa construction and outdoor space design and construction projects were performed to the highest quality. Quotes were fair and provided in a timely manner and projects completed within the quoted timelines. Without reservation, we recommend Tati and Corbin for any project, small or large.

  • I have used Groupo Pacifico several times over the last few years. Tatiana and her team have always solved the problem! They are experienced navigators of all the government agencies you need to work with in Guanacaste in the construction industry. They DELIVER!!!

  • Grupo Pacifico's thorough research and insight saved our group project. Their extensive knowledge of the country's laws, guidelines and building practices makes them leaders in this industry. We were very fortunate to have them on our team!

Why This Project Stands Out

Hacienda Blu is a clear example of how restoration can become a catalyst for larger-scale development.

Rather than starting from scratch, the project leverages an existing structure to activate the site quickly while setting the foundation for a broader hospitality vision. This phased approach reduces upfront risk, accelerates market entry, and allows the project to evolve strategically over time.

  • Adaptive reuse of an existing structure, transforming it into a functional and elevated beach club environment while preserving key elements of the original footprint.

  • Conceived as the initial phase of a larger master plan, allowing for strategic expansion over time while generating early activation and revenue.

  • The beach club is designed to respond to coastal conditions, incorporating ventilation, shading, and material choices suited for durability and comfort.

  • From layout to infrastructure, decisions are made to support scalability, maintenance efficiency, and long-term commercial performance.
