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!

All of it is just great. Felt like living in a little jungle paradise for 4 days. The owners Karen and Olivier were amazing hosts, always engaging in good conversation, which made the stay feel even more cozy. We did the trapeze class and it was fantastic as well. Gracias y hasta pronto!

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.

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.

Overall, the hotel is pretty great and the owners are lovely. It's very quiet, the rooms are nice and the beds firm. The owners cook their own meals at the restaurant, it takes some time but it's very tasty. For the money you pay (which is half the price of most villas in the vicinity) it's a steal. Right on the beach, close to the main road and a bunch of places to eat. The pool is large, bigger than most tiny hotel pools, and is cleaned regularly. Rooms are also cleaned a few times a week. There are howler monkeys living in the trees right next to the hotel.

    The area is called Venado, but it is more accurate to call...

    The area is called Venado, but it is more accurate to call it Junquillal Beach. The beach is superb. Not lots of people at all. Most tourist come for the day and leave. This is turtle nesting spot which makes it more special. Perfect for people looking for a natural isolated beach. Very clean and beautiful. Not a lot of restaurants or supermarkets nearby. There are few but basic... Still you will get the basic stuff to spend a great time there... oh don't forget the perfect sunsets :)
