"Wonderful stay! Our bungalow was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated the daily cleaning, which made our stay even more comfortable.
The breakfast was amazing with generous portions. The staff were friendly and very responsive to any questions or inquiries we had.
Overall, a lovely, hidden gem, and we would happily stay at SoulShine again!"

We loved our stay at The Coast Beachfront Hotel! The staff is amazing. The room was awesome. Wonderful experience and we will be back. It was even better than some of the places we’ve stayed beachfront in the US. We can hardly wait to go back!

We loved the small 2-bedroom apartment we booked for 3 weeks in July. For 2 kids and one adult it was perfect in size. It got a bit messy when we were 4 people. However, you are usually out and about and everything is close by on foot...
Biggest plus: you are at the beach in 3 minutes!
The pool is cleaned daily and really well taken care off.
Our apartment was right by the pool and the kids loved to dip into it daily, and I could see them from the apartment and veranda.

T Loft at Playa Hermosa was an amazing experience for me. It was my first time traveling to Costa Rica alone and I was a bit nervous before the trip but that all went away as soon as I arrived. The number one important thing for me was to feel safe and secure and T Loft ended up being the perfect place for me. The place was wonderful. It was clean with up-to-date amenities, it was quiet at night, and an overall smooth check-in and check-out process. The host upgraded me to a larger space as soon...

I really enjoyed my stay here. Very clean, and great breakfast that was provided every morning. Beautiful views and was very peaceful and quite. With that said, it’s within walking distance of all bars, clubs, restaurants, beach etc. in Tamarindo. Definitely would recommend. Staff was very friendly and nice as well!

My boyfriend and I had the most relaxing stay here. It was our favorite stop in Costa Rica thus far. The property itself is gorgeous, the food is incredible and the people are so nice and accommodating. We felt like family and will most certainly be back again! Do not hesitate to come here for a little rest and relaxation. It was just what we needed.

A very pleasant stay. A bit out of the way, but I suppose that is part of it's charm. A nice pool and relaxing environment. Breakfast was good, but not a lot of choice. Don't go there expecting a beach vacation as it is a 45 minute drive to the nearest beach. Road to the property is pretty rough, but that's typical of off the beaten path properties. The bungalows were very clean and comfortable. Owners were Francophones and communicating was occasionally a bit of a challenge. Unlike all the...

I can't say enough positive things about soulshine. There is something very special about this place.

We absolutely loved this hotel from check in to check out and everything in between. It was close to the action, but far enough to where you didn't have to deal with noise. The back gate to the "alleyway" directly to central road was absolutely perfect so you didn't have to walk down the rocky dirt road near the front entrance. The front desk was always friendly and readily available for any requests we may have had. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked well. Breakfast here is...

When we arrived there was a hiccup at airport / rental car. I was very concerned but called Thisbee. She calmed me, explained options, and was a trusted colleague. The owners went well above their “jobs” to assure our stay was perfect, and it was.
