We really enjoyed our time at Vidasoul. We wanted to check out the East Cape, look at the ocean, and just relax and we were able to do all that there. Loved chatting with Joan and learned tons from her. The dogs were welcome and didn't need to be on leash. Everyone there was mellow. It is mainly a spot for surfers and divers, but we enjoyed watching them and meeting them. The beach was deserted and we had a great walk with the dogs. The food was good too: fresh and filling. We shared the chicken picata for dinner and had an omlette and huevos rancheros for breakfast.

Joan reminded us of how much work it is to maintain a place on the beach. The salt air is murder on metal, and the dampness lingers. I think they wash the windows every day. Some people (including Joan) don't like all those windows, but we loved them. They bring the ocean almost into the room. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. It was just what we wanted.
This spot is not for everyone. It is spacious and clean, and the beds are comfortable, but it is not luxurious. If you are looking to be pampered, this is not for you. We loved it.
