Costa Rica's premier pool construction and maintenance company, serving the Pacific coast with craftsmanship and care.
Golden Temple Builders is a full-service pool construction and maintenance company headquartered in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. Founded by Nick Ruggiano and Ronald Villalobos, our team brings decades of combined experience in aquatic construction, hydraulic engineering, and tropical property care to every project we undertake.
We specialize in designing and building custom swimming pools, infinity-edge pools, and resort-style aquatic features for private homeowners, vacation rental property managers, hotel developers, and real estate investors across Costa Rica's Pacific coast — including Jacó Beach, Playa Herradura, Playa Hermosa, Tárcoles, and greater San José.
Our services span the complete pool lifecycle — from initial consultation, architectural design, and concrete shell construction, through tiling, plumbing, equipment installation, and final finishing. Once your pool is built, our certified maintenance technicians provide weekly cleaning visits, water chemistry balancing, equipment inspections, and safety audits including child safety gate and fence compliance checks. We also offer emergency repair services and pool renovation for aging or damaged pools.
Our clients range from individual pool owners seeking reliable weekly maintenance to large-scale property developers building luxury resort amenities. We work closely with vacation rental property managers who need consistent, professionally documented service visits, builders requiring trusted subcontractors, and homeowners who simply want a crystal-clear pool to enjoy. Our bilingual team communicates fluently in both English and Spanish, making collaboration seamless for international clients investing in Costa Rican real estate.
Every job — big or small — is backed by our commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term client relationships. We document each service visit with photos, water chemistry readings, and detailed checklists so you always know exactly what was done at your property, whether you're on-site or overseas.
