Soul Shine is the best accommodation choice in the Playa Avellanas area. The cabinas are spacious and clean with comfortable beds, good WiFi, air conditioning and a mini-fridge. The pool is a gorgeous place to relax and the grounds are laden with lush tropical flowers and vegetation. The location is amazing - Avellanas beach is a short walk away, and so are many great restaurants, including Barumis (burgers), Lola’s, La Parruja, and La Esquina, a community space with tacos, sushi, cocktails and other tasty food (visit the public market there on Friday nights for local vendors and live music). You can also walk next door and get some gelato! Owners Yael and Roee are the ultimate hosts and will ensure your stay is as perfect as possible. You really are part of the family when you’re here. And a Soul Shine review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their delicious brunch! This place serves up some of the best food you’ll find in the area – even in all of Costa Rica. Authentic menu items such as shakshuka, Gypsy King, falafels and avocado toast are all served hot and fresh with crispy salad and yummy tapas on the side. The fresh bread is served warm and melts in your mouth! Soul Shine has everything you need for a perfect stay in the Playa Avellanas/Playa Negra area – comfortable rooms, attentive hosts, amazing food and close to the beach and restaurants. You won’t be disappointed if you stay at Soul Shine!

We loved our stay at Mikado Lodge! It is an incredible property in the middle of the jungle. The room and deck were lovely as you feel like you are in the tree canopy with the sounds of howler monkeys, cicadas, and views of deer and so many species of birds. Bring your binoculars! We enjoyed the pool time, the little trail on site, and the troup of monkeys that came swinging through the trees through in the morning. Aside from the beauty of the nature, everything is just so polished and well-taken care of. It is clear that a lot of thought and time has gone into the design and care of this boutique hotel. The owner, Lolo, was a gracious and accommodating host. She whipped up some delicious meals and was so sweet with our one year old. Playa Avellana is close by so you can go from jungle to beach in about 15 minutes! We would definitely stay there again.

Far off the beaten path is this beautiful gem of a little hotel. The room has a fully equipped mini kitchen, refrigerator, induction stovetop, toaster oven, microwave, rice cooker, cutting board, and all utensils needed. The shower had great water pressure, the finishes were premium. The pool was fresh and brand new, they filled it the night before. I had the feeling no one had stayed in our room before, because parts of our kitchen still had barcode stickers on them. The tv was nice, had all the services. The pool is small, theres 2 for about a dozen rooms, but my partner and i spent the afternoon at one alone. The staff was nice and responds quickly to you via whatsapp. I recommend renting a car to get here, because taxi’s are expensive. This hotel is a bit far away from things, theres just one burger restaurant next door, with a minimarket. Theres more restaurants about 10 minute walk away, and a beautiful beach about 25 minutes walk away named playa avellanas. The hotel says its in tamarindo, but its about 30 minutes drive from there. This is a perfect spot to get away from it all. Oh! And the AC is perfect here.

Cabinas just few meters from playa Avellanas. You can reach the playa trough a bridge over the mangroves; so amazing view ! The Avellanas beach is a special one: you can see wonderful sunsets and surf all day long! They rent surf board. The breakfast is fine and the restaurant quite good. The guy at the reception is friendly and supportive. Well done cabinas la a olas staff!!

The hotel is modern and very new. The room was small for the 3 of us, but OK for two nights. The beds were comfortable. It's pricey for the lack of facilities, but its well located near many restaurants and coffee shops and walking distance to the beach. They were building a small pool which will be a bonus when ready. They don't offer breakfast on Monday, but in exchange they washed our clothes, a nice gesture, and will ensure to warn people about this on the website.

This place is definitely to rest and recharge. The A.C. in the room was awesome and the beds out of this world; king size and super comfy. The pool is also refreshing and Daniela the girl that tour us the place is very sweet. However, if you are looking for luxury and resort like activities, this is not the place for you, but for people that are looking for a place to be in peace and comfortable this is it.

Found a great place to eat on the road down to the beach - Barumis. Great service, great food, great coffee. The road is gravel/dirt, but my little Honda Civic was able to handle it fine (dry season!), just watch out for the dips and bumps. The beach was crowded due to the season (Christmas break) but people were relaxed and respectful and it seems like we all had the same idea - watch the incredible sunset over the ocean and enjoy the sand and water. All told, with the great people at my Drift Away hotel, a very enjoyable vacation!

Playa Avellana is a beautiful beach and well-known to surfers. There is a lot of surfing there. So it's not recommend just for swimming or messing around in the water since it can be dangerous. No lifeguards. It's a beautiful beach to visit and even spend the day - there were lots of local families there enjoying it - and surfers will love it. The access roads are difficult as is parking. Probably not feasible if you don't have a 4x4.

Playa Avellana is a high quality surfer beach but low key for real surfers, while us folks not on boards could have fun watching along with swimming and walking. The fish and chips at Lota's was also outstanding, along with the mellow beachside vive.

A beautiful place in Guanacaste, well worth a visit. Support local businesses and help develop their shops, both supermarkets and restaurants. The government should improve the access roads, a much-needed feature, and you should definitely enjoy the sunsets.

La Purruja and especially Lola's are fantastic beach bars.

La Purruja and especially Lola's are fantastic beach bars. The surfing is fantastic, and we went diving from Tamarindo, a much more touristy spot, a 30-minute drive away. Playa Avellanas is truly unspoiled.

It's a spacious place for walking.

It's a spacious place for walking. Some areas are rocky, so be careful. The tide is a bit high, which is ideal for surfers. It's a good idea to bring everything you need, as the nearby supermarkets are small and have limited stock. There are some restaurants nearby that charge in dollars, and their prices are high.
