Our room was super clean. The grounds were lush and jungle like. True rainforest vibes. The staff were so helpful. They arranged our taxi from the airport and a massage by the pool. The breakfast at their restaurant was beyond explanation. It was so different yet phenomenal. Great spot.

This is such a beautiful spot. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and inviting. The restaurant at the hotel has delicious food and there are several other restaurants within walking distance. The area is pretty remote and natural.

We loved our stay at SoulShine! The accommodations were perfect, the grounds and pool are beautiful, and the staff is amazing. The beach is a short walk away and is great for swimming and surfing, and the sand is so soft. We highly recommend Soul Shine and would definitely return.

The stay wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great either. Pictures make this place appear nicer than it is. First night of stay: - No hot water from faucet. Had to wait until next day for someone to address - Light in bathroom extremely dim where it’s hard to fully get yourself together in the mirror. Also had to wait next day for someone to address and put a barely better bulb in There is a large enough hole under the door for critters like bugs and snakes/lizards to come through so I had to block it with a towel. Rust stains in spots near the pool. Entrance gate closes at 4:30 so you have to use a gate code if you want to leave or come in after that time. Front desk leaves after the last guest is checked in (~5pm) so you have to wait till the next day to get any assistance. Towels and wash cloths are stained. I stayed at a place in La Fortuna which had a better septic system so I was able to flush used toilet paper. Here you cannot. You must place in the trash can. Extremely dark out there by 6 pm so doesn’t particularly feel safe walking around especially if you don’t know where you’re going. However although they don’t serve local food they had the best french toast and eggs. Overall place was livable and semi clean but glad I only stayed here for 2 nights. Would recommend for food if you’re looking for non local options and only stay if you’re on the lower maintenance side.

It's a quaint property and has a great feel to it. It kind of grows on you. Don't go with an expectation that it's a 3 star hotel (as Google Shows) and you will enjoy. The restaurant at the hotel serves amazing food. The breakfast was incredible but expensive. But so is food everywhere around in the area. The beach is beautiful and secluded. It's a woman owned business and the owner is lovely. We enjoyed our time and would stay again if we go back to Costa Rica.

Wonderful experience!

This was the last stop of a 2 week trip in Costa Rica - so glad we decided to stay here for our final night. SoulShine was an incredible experience all around - the cabins were well set up for our family of 4. It was nice to have access to a communal kitchen (larger fridge, extra dishes, etc). The pool was very relaxing and the grounds of the property are just stunning. We had breakfast at the restaurant in the morning and it was the most delicious culinary experience. If you stay here DEFINITELY EAT BREAKFAST HERE - you will not be disappointed. We are already planning on coming back to SoulShine next time we are in Costa Rica. Thanks for an incredible experience! One tiny disappointment was that the restaurant stops serving food and drinks at 2pm. We arrived just as it closed and were sad we couldn't order one of their delicious looking cocktails to enjoy by the pool!
