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.
Property was beautiful and staff was gracious! We would definitely stay here again.

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.
Water flow was unpredictable. Pool area a bit rundown and not enough chairs. Rooms could use updating. Landscaping was not on same level as other places we stayed at. Staff was excellent.

I enjoyed the staff and surf hut that I stayed in.
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.
Great vibe and location, the restaurant serves great food, and the stuff is super friendly. Highly recomended

This property is not only beautiful, but definitely has a lot of soul. The location is amazing and the owners were so personable and inviting. The food was amazing as well. I will definitely stay there again and I highly recommend this beautiful boutique hotel experience.
Our stay felt super authentic to Costa Rica, fantastic vibe and friendly owners, we arrived late in the evening and was no problem. Fabulous breakfast the best eggs and tortillas ever.
Our stay at SoulShine was amazing! We were in town for two days and had an incredible time. The hotel is walking distance to pretty much everything and is in a sleepy little beach town :) we walked to the beach and restaurants right from our room and loved that there was a pool to cook down in as well! On top of the beautiful room, the gardens were gorgeous and we saw a ton of wildlife in the property and nearby! We hope to come back again and will definitely recommend it to friends visiting the area as well!

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.
