    poor lighting
    cramped room

    During my stay, I found the bathroom lighting to be quite poor, making it difficult to get ready in the mornings. Additionally, the room felt somewhat cramped, although the high ceiling did help alleviate that sensation. Lastly, the deep dirt road leading to the hotel was uncomfortable to navigate, especially on rainy days which made it an unpleasant experience overall.

    freshly brewed coffee
    monkey sightings

    Ideal spot for families to relax

    The shared kitchen was a game-changer for us, there was freshly brewed coffee waiting every morning, just without the hassle of buying it. We could enjoy breakfast at the scenic restaurant while watching monkeys swing through the trees, which made every meal feel like an adventure!

    Not exactly cheap, but definitely worth it.

    delicious breakfast
    friendly staff
    stunning nature
    road condition
    bathroom issues
    loose fixtures

    Soulshine offers a stunning environment with individual cottages that blend nicely into the lush surroundings. Breakfast exceeded expectations. the 'Chunky Avocado' I had was an absolute highlight, providing a generous portion that fueled my day. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, perfect for relaxing. I loved the casual yet cozy atmosphere. However, the road leading to the property was a bit challenging. It's a long dirt road, and when it rains, it becomes more difficult to navigate. Some amenities could use a refresh, such as the bathroom lighting, which isn’t very bright. The shower shelf and towel bar in my room were loose, which detracted from the otherwise great setup. Despite that, I found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great dining and activity recommendations. Overall, a lovely spot but some minor issues could use attention.

    shaded seating
    garden view
    poor bathroom lighting

    great experience but could improve bathroom lighting

    Our stay in the family room with garden view was quite enjoyable. The pool area was fantastic for the kids, with plenty of shaded seating for us parents to relax. We also appreciated how uniquely decorated the overall grounds were, enhancing our experience. The garden view from our room was lovely, providing a sense of tranquility that we all needed.

    The bathroom lighting could be better.

    An Exquisite Escape with Unforgettable Flavors!

    We stayed two nights in a charming double room with a pool view. The breakfast options were exceptional—especially the Challah Bread French Toast. The family atmosphere made us feel right at home, and the tranquil ambiance was perfect for relaxation. Pro tip, drive to the beach for convenience!

    friendly staff
    beautiful beach access

    an ideal base for city walks and beach adventures

    the staff were incredibly friendly and offered helpful tips about nearby beaches, making my walking explorations a delight every day during my stay, and the beach was less than a 15-minute walk away through scenic mangroves that really added to the charm of the area.
