We loved our stay at Tuki Tuki. It’s a small resort located walkable to the beach. The staff is sooo friendly and really treat you like family. We LOVED our stay at Tuki Tuki and wish we could have stayed longer. Rooms were super clean and spacious! JP the owner/host goes above and beyond to make your stay incredible. Hazel the cook/ cleaning lady makes delicious breakfasts and does an amazing job keeping the place clean. We loved the small resort atmosphere and meeting the other guests. It truly felt like coming home to friends at the end of each day.

SoulShine is among the top boutique hotels in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, that we have ever visited, and we have a lot of experience (I've lived in the region since 2008). Our family loves going on vacations to unique BNBs - this weekend my boys and I were lucky enough to try out SoulShine and we will be back as soon as we can go. Here are some of the top reasons we will be back to SoulShine. For the quality of stay and overall energy we felt, the price is spectacular. Based on my experience staying in all kinds of family-run hotels in Guanacaste, I could not have been happier with what we received for an extremely reasonable rate. Even though the hotel is located close to the beach in Playa Avellanas, and you have easy access to most of the best surf breaks in Guanacaste, the layout of the hotel provides 100% privacy, peace and tranquility. We stayed in a bungalow with a big bed that the boys shared and a smaller one for me. We were comfortable, relaxed, happy and felt we completely enjoy ourselves as a family. I cannot stand any noise at night and I slept extremely well because of the layout. I also love hotels that make you feel comfortable to lounge both at your bungalow and at a common area. Each of the rooms at SoulShine has a cute little patio with comfortable chairs; the gardens surrounding you make you feel at home and it's easy to drink coffee or send a few emails while sitting on the porch. The pool itself is an awesome oasis - tons of room to lounge; it's a safe and friendly place for kids to play, and they keep it in spectacular condition. You feel very happy to be there, with the palm trees swaying in the breeze. And finally - the SoulShine restaurant is an utterly spectacular addition to the experience. Their food is indescribably good in a region where we have few options for places that put true love into a menu. Their shakshooka is my absolute favorite breakfast or brunch; everything there has an extremely diverse flavor profile.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife. There are much nicer beaches close by if you are looking to enjoy the water and a nice sunset. Unfortunately the rising costs in Costa Rica are making it less desirable to visit. It is getting run down in many areas and the costs are climbing dramatically.

A nice beach town which has most conveniences but is not too big. We had visited in 1988 so the development since then was breathtaking. We visited during the off-season (October) so it was very rainy but had clear periods each day. The advantage to visiting this time of year is hotel prices are generally lower, but many businesses are closed so for example a restaurant you wanted to visit may not be open and I had more difficulty renting a good surfboard than I thought I would. As mentioned before, the rain can be a problem during the off-season but I understand the period from December to April is mostly rain free. I would imagine the town is much more crowded in season which could affect the experience.

We stayed at Hotel Velero right off the beach in Playa Hermosa. It was relatively quiet (in the best way!) compared to the neighboring Playa del Coco. The beach was clean, the sand was soft, and the temperature was great. We saw dolphins and great sea birds from breakfast at Hotel Velero. We also had dinner at Roberto's and La Casita del Marisco. I would highly recommend Playa Hermosa to everyone and would love to return!

Playa Flamingo was one of our favorite stops on our 10-day trip. It's scenic, relaxed, and incredibly fun to explore. Driving along the coast was a highlight in itself, with beautiful ocean views and plenty of little spots to pull over and enjoy. Getting around was super easy with a car or motorcycle, though you do have to watch out for the many potholes and speed bumps. Where we ate: Coco Loco- Incredible food right on the beach, and the piña coladas were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Gracia La Vid- Amazing pizzas in a casual, open-air setting. Fun vibe, great for dinner after a day in the sun. Playa Flamingo is perfect for groups of friends looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. We enjoyed a sunset catamaran tour, horseback riding, ATV tours, and jet ski rentals. All are easy to book and great ways to experience the coast. If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, great food, and plenty of activities, Playa Flamingo is definitely worth a visit.

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing.

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.
