I recently stayed at the hotel with friends for weekend courses on cooking organic, sugar free, gluten free, and dairy free meals. The food was amazing, but I ended up getting much more than cooking out of the experience. It was about connecting to food, yourself, and the land. The hotel was not flashy or luxurious, but the accommodations and... More

I recently stayed at the Soul Retreat after taking a drive out to the coast. I had never been to Waldport before but found it to be a great location. Just a short drive to the aquarium, Newport, Yahats and not too far from Lincoln City shopping. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful pointing out where... More

My wife and I have yet to decide on this one. Soul Vacations is a very strange place. We stayed there Valentines weekend and it was all but deserted. We saw only the hotel clerk the evening we checked in, never anyone else. The weather was bad and the sky dark which gave the halls a "Shining" feeling. They advertise... More

I stayed at the Soul Retreat about a month ago for 5 days. I was told upon check-in that the retreat was under new management, and that if I needed anything at all, to please let them know, as they would do their very best to accommodate me. The hotel is very very clean, probably the cleanest hotel I have... More

My cousins and I spent our annual cousin reunion at Soul Vacation last month. We traveled as much as 700 miles to get here. The resort is under new management and the kitchen had not yet opened for the season. This was perfectly fine with us as we were there for a food retreat and we had uninterrupted use of... More

The Oregon Coast is beautiful, but the whole area reflects a blighted economy. Apparently, the managment does not have much to choose from when it runs its Want Ads. I called this hotel first on a Saturday night and was given a price of a double queen room that I felt was a bit out of line. I was told... More

The bathroom was partly remodeled. What was done was nice, but the tub and tub surround were not done. The tub plumbing fixtures were in poor condition, and the diverter did not operate properly. No matter, as the water was not exactly cold, but definitely not hot, nor even really warm. Carpet was worn, room was cold on arrival. Took... More

I am confused and surprised to read past reviews. We were expecting mediocre at best and ended up being very happy that we stayed at this resort. Our room was perfect and the staff was friendly and more than accommodating. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for lodging in the Waldport area. Just a tip ... ask... More

My wife and I spent two nights here during the off-season (February). As there were very few guests staying, we were offered an upstairs room with a great view of the Alsea Bay and the picturesque Alsea Bridge. The hotel is located near the end of a residential peninsula separating the Alsea Bay from the Pacific. There is a restaurant,... More
