Liked: Staff & service
Our stay was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I will note that the pictures depict a lavish boutique resort, however, it was more run down and could use some updating. The grounds were beautiful but the pool was often dirty and needs to be repaired. The food was excellent but very expensive. We stayed in a bungalow that was very small but comfortable for 2 adults and one child. Overall it was a nice stay.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at SoulShine. Our highlights were walking around the grounds to find the howler monkeys up in the trees - this was so cool! The breakfast menu was delightful. Our room was great, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our time lounging by the pool. We liked that there were amenities walking distance: beach, amazing restaurants, gelato, and a market. The staff were so lovely! We want to highlight our taxi driver, Dennis. He went above and beyond for us: making himself available to drive us where we needed to go, getting our daughter a booster seat, stopping along the way when howlers were spotted, having snacks and cold drinks for us. We’re so grateful for his generosity! We can’t wait to visit 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.
