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 #### John Dec 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My secret path from SoulShine to Lola’s Nice people, nice pool, lots of monkeys. I like to walk to Lola’s on the beach via this path: left out of Soul Shine gate, walk about 300 yards, right down Las Olas driveway, (stop for a piña colada at Las Olas bar for cutting through their property) follow the signs to the beach, walk over the elevated wooden walkway through the mangrove, left on the beach. Enjoy ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D04F759207271F5F61235A87BB09CFF1BA9AE7811703005472873.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93AC9454339B118062365B1BF584E83EE0CDC6561703005474825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CB47C8B8B33255C88397A5BDB121A73F24F3544A1703005473548.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katsiaryna Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities SoulShine was a great option to stay with a toddler. Every cabin has its own little jungle garden which provides privacy and makes you feel part of the nature. Monkeys come visit you regularly there which our toddler loved. It’s really convenient to have a little kitchen with everything you might need in our case right next to our cabin. The room is on a smaller side but cathedral ceiling makes it feel larger. I thought bed linens and towels including pool/beach towels needed an update. They were very visibly dated. What we didn’t like is that the hotel is located on a long dirt road. Since we wanted to explore various areas of Guanacaste during our stay, we had to drive on it every day and it wasn’t a fun experience at all especially if it rained. Same with walking there. Other than that the area has a nice vibe and some good places to eat within walking distance. ##### Katsiaryna Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Was very enjoyable, breakfast was fantastic ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Herbert Dec 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Herbert Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Amenities 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. ##### Carrie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candace Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lady at front desk was great! ##### Candace Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeramie Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I enjoyed the staff and surf hut that I stayed in. ##### Jeramie Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lea Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really loved our stay; very small and cozy.

Fabulous breakfast the best eggs and tortillas ever. ##### Charles ### 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Casa-Chameleon-Hotel-Las-Catalinas-Adults-Only.h17239217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Colono Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Colono-Beach.h11027402.Hotel-Information) > > [Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Papagayo-Golden-Palms-Beachfront-Hotel.h14872316.Hotel-Information) > > [Conchal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brasilito-Hotels-Conchal-Hotel.h6139888.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Catalinas Doorway](https://www.expedia.ca/Tempate-Hotels-Las-Catalinas-Collection.h11046448.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Sueno del Mar Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Sueno-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Bed-Breakfast.h40075604.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [Casas del Toro Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Casas-Del-Toro-Playa-Flamingo.h8981765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mangaby](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Mangaby.h9786464.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Zen Garden Tamarindo - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Zen-Garden-Tamarindo.h39165706.Hotel-Information) > > [Toro Blanco Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Toro-Blanco-Resort.h15241531.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information)
