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. ##### Amit Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Dec 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Boho Chic Vibes 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! ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexis Jan 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is laid out so everyone has a little hut with an outdoor shower and seating area- it is very quiet, including the general area itself. Playa Avellanas is a very quiet town because it is so small. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable of the area and getting around to the different towns along the coast. They even have property cats! The only thing is their beds aren't that comfortable, including their pillows- they seems way too small and no support. ##### Alexis Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fei Mar 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay, wonderful hosts I had a lovely stay and was very comfortable, and felt very safe. The breakfasts are as amazing as everyone says! The owners live on site, so they are around for any special needs. Yael was so kind when I realized that I had brought the wrong phone charging cord. She left me use hers to charge up my phone and even bought a new one for me when we went into town the next day. They also helped to arrange transportation to town and arranged a private surfing lesson for me. If you are looking for a lovely, secluded place, this is it! ##### Fei Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adriana Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exc ##### Adriana Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin Dec 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I can't say enough positive things about soulshine. There is something very special about this place. The owers energy, the food, the magic of nature(monkeys, iguanas, hummingbirds, butterflies, ect.), the confort of the rooms, and so much more. Ive stayed there twice in the past year post Ayahuasca ceremonys and find the right balance of peace and connection.

Magic! ##### Benjamin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Dec 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a great vibe at SoulShine!! Located in a small town away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Tamarindo, which was about a 30 minute drive in our rental car. Avellas beach is an easy walk over a boardwalk through mangrove trees, and there are a few restaurants beachside. The lobby area, landscaping, pool, and bungalows were all very well manicured. Rooms had a comfortable bed and couch, A/C, blackout curtains, WiFi, a big shower. A wonderful little beach jungle oasis! The shared kitchen had a fridge with designated spaces, but was a little anemic in silverware and dish supplies. None the worry though, because the food at the attached restaurant was THE best I’ve had in a long time! Make sure you can eat there if you stay. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Kara Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Jun 21, 2025 ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Stacy Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bel endroit où rester Personnel sympathique, beau bungalow entouré de verdure avec petite balançoire sur le patio, chambre et salle de bain grands et propres.
