“We weren't prepared for how remote this property is and the extended rainy season made it even more so with very poor road conditions. Be sure to stock up on EVERYTHING you'll need before going up there as a trip to any store or restaurant will be lengthy. We had to leave after staying only one of our two nights as we just didn't have enough food. There is a restaurant on the property which would have been a complete game changer but it wasn't open during our visit in mid-November. The times……
“This resort was beautiful. A good bit off the beaten path but what a jewel when you get there! The rooms were quite spacious and lovely. There was a welcome gift when we arrived of fresh fruits. No matter where you are on the property, you can hear the waves crashing and it is glorious! The resort felt very exclusive and was populated but not crowded at all. Each time I went to the pool or any of the many options for laying out I felt like I had my preference. They had so many options of……
“Latica lodge was amazing to stay at! If you’re looking for that community vibe then this should be on the top of your list. Everyone from all over the world staying there, all having breakfast/supper together was spectular. The owners are everyday people willing to help you out with everything they made the stay so enjoyable. It’s definitely off the beaten path, I would recommend having a 4x4 vehicle to tackle the roads getting there and getting around. There’s a couple amazing beaches (best we……
“Endroit magnifique mais malheureusement peut entretenu. Rideaux, divans, literies, beurk ! J’ai jamais vu autant de fourmis dans une propriété. Au moins une centaine sont sorties de la douche à l’étage de l’entrée. Il y en avait à l’étage supérieur également, dans le lit et partout sur le plancher. Gros gros gros ménage et entretien a faire. ”
“We had an AMAZING time at this beautiful property, we really wish we stayed more than one night! The hosts were so lovely and kind. The breakfast they made us was also delicious. I can’t describe how beautiful the views from the pool were. If you love birds and wildlife, this is the place for you. ”
“The owner, chef, and ladies made our stay here for my birthday quite special, with champagne, towel art- absolutely amazing!! The monkeys that live here- 2 families- are a hoot! Now I will say they are loud, lots of banging at night, dropping things on the roof. You get used to it, but if you are light sleeper like myself, highly recommend using earplugs and a sleep mask. I would wake up, and think, oh that’s a monkey, and g back to sleep. Elmer the chef made us dinner twice, all delicious food!……
“We loved our stay at SoulShine! The accommodations were perfect, the grounds and pool are beautiful, and the staff is amazing. The beach is a short walk away and is great for swimming and surfing, and the sand is so soft. We highly recommend Soul Shine and would definitely return.

“I had Mountain Bike race in the area and the hotel was near the race exit.
Service is too good that they provided breakfast the night before as breakfast starts at 7:30am and the race started at 5:30am.
There are hammocks to relax after race.”
“This is one of those hotels that you almost don't want to talk about for fear of it becoming too popular. The owners are very friendly and it feels like being a guest in a private home with staff to take care of everything for you.”
