Our stay was so wonderful! It was the perfect location to have easy access to beach pool and the rainforest. The staff were so helpful and kind. There was great wildlife to see right from the hotel at the right times of day! We had just a few minor recommendations- please provide a couple more bath towels, install a door sweep under the door (there was a small gap and we had a gecko roommate one night) and more hooks in the room for towels and wet items! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the jungle room with semiprivate pool that was cool and shaded.

Pro's: Excellent breakfast. Great that they have a family pool and adult only pool. Arranged for transportation into town at a reasonable price. We had booked a room with a "private pool" but we couldn't use it at night because of the mosquitoes -- it was nice for a late afternoon dip though with a cocktail. Con's: location is not very convenient for walking up hill to town and the private trail to the beach is available, but the beach below is nothing special. Hotel is on a steep hill, that they have a golf cart shuttle to take you from your room to the lobby. I would not recommend for people with mobility issues Overall, if I went again to the area the question is would I stay here again, and the answer is no, hence me 2 star rating.

We had a fantastic stay at Shana! The service was outstanding—from advance planning, arrival, tour scheduling, and meals at the restaurant—the staff went above and beyond. Their attentiveness and professionalism set this hotel apart. The location is really great too. We enjoyed the beach access and convenience to Manuel Antonio Nat'l Park and Ziplining Tour. I’ll definitely be returning!

What we enjoyed: Seeing a troupe of squirrel monkeys and a couple of capuchin monkeys on the property The steep walk up and down the property The steep walk to and from the beach We did not enjoy the following: Dated furnishings in room A mediocre breakfast buffet compared to all others we enjoyed in Costa Rica; mediocre is probably an overstatement The very grumpy male towel attendant (all 3 days) The paper-thin door to the adjoining room that allowed the noise of 3 teenage girls to carry loudly The restrictive Happy Hour guidelines The limited safe parking spaces as upper curbside parking exposed our vehicle to tight conditions Shana by the Beach has ZERO amenities at the BEACH; instead "hawkers" argue with each other over who is going to rent you a $20 beach chair The beach surf area is incredibly rocky and shallow Note: If you have a car, there is a GREAT public beach just 2 km toward Manual Antonio. Access is just east of Karahe Restaurant parking.
