Positive: For sure, the concept is great to have your own little house. We appreciated the decoration and wonderful vibe around the entire property. It was easy and a good place to unwind. There were fresh towels, own toiletries with a wonderful smell and good quality, as well as the restaurant (which was though pretty expensive, in our opinion more than the average in the area). In addition, we had a warm welcoming and good explanations of the location and surroundings.
Negative: The biggest issue for us was the very dark room lighting particularly in the bathroom. It was even during the day impossible to look clearly in the mirror. Despite great design of the rooms and exterior, it sometimes felt not completely thought through - the lamps next to the bed were not plugged in, or had also no plug around, etc. Our house was close to the kitchen and we heard the stuff or anything else very much in our room.
Summary: Wonderful place to relax

Positive: We spent two nights at Soul Shine. We were welcomed, checked in, shown the property, and escorted to our room very professionally. The surrounding area was well explained; restaurants, beach access, etc. There are beautiful plants and trees throughout the property. Our accommodation was an independent structure as were most on the property. The construction added to the aesthetics with exposed wooden structural components inside and out. The room is spacious with a desk, small fridge, a couch, and a bed. The bathroom is also roomy. The porch is welcoming with storage for surf boards, seating, and even an outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach or pool. Breakfast was the highlight of the visit. I had the “Chunky Avocado” which sounded like avocado toast with an egg, but turned out to be a massive crusty baguette with tons of Guac-like avocado and a fried egg. It was super filling to power a morning of surfing. This is a great stay for surfers.
Negative: Everyone has things they care about and things they would never notice. My wife would disagree with my callouts here as they are things she simply wouldn’t notice. I am unfortunately plagued with noticing and it dampened the experience for me. There are lots of small things that will add up to make this property a poor choice for some guests. Almost none of these things changed the actual function/purpose of our stay, but I know they will bother some people (as it did me) and so they’re worth mentioning so potential guests are aware. I’ve seen similar comments from other reviewers that appear to have been ignored. So, I wouldn’t expect this to change. Please note that I scored our stay as an 8. So, put my comments in the proper context. Here are a few examples: 1) The owners live on this property, which could be seen as a positive. However, their family space is on full display right at the front of the property including what some might consider a bunch of junk in disarray; a heavy bag, grill, kids toys, etc strewn about the “yard”. This had absolutely no impact on our stay, but it just feels off. 2) The pool was clean, but the finish has not been well maintained, there’s no cover on the drain, and there are rusty supports (bleeding through flaking white paint) holding up a little foot bridge. Again, functionally it had no impact on our ability to enjoy the cool clean water of the pool, but just aesthetically off. 3) The towel bar and shower shelf in our room were hanging off the wall (i.e. the anchors were pulling out of the wall). The towel bar held the towels, and the shelf held the shampoo and shower gel as needed (with a little help shoving the anchors back into the wall). All of these are things that the staff can see with their own two eyes. I’ve seen Soul Shine respond to similar feedback in the past complaining that the guests didn’t highlight the problem during their stay. We also did not.
Summary: Lovely people, nice accommodations, and wonderful breakfast. But, a lack of attention to detail.
