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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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. I highly recommend any Rythmia people looking for post ceramony integration to check it out. Weather you're a family with kids or a solitary traveler such as myself Soulshine provides something special. Magic!

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!

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!
