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!

The only thing I would Complain about Is the food. The only good meal here is the pizza… our excursion food was better than the food here. No seasoning just not good

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.

The Hotel is well located with both jungle and beach vibes. The wild local monkeys put on a show in the mornings and evenings. I also saw a sloth from my second floor balcony. The 1st floor rooms in the 2nd and 3rd buildings are dark with view of brush. The higher the floor the better the view which can be amazing Staff were friendly and food was good Fruits are great. Overall the place is good but could be better. 4/5 I would stay again and do recommend this place.

Shana is definitely better than the other hotel we stayed at. The playa biseanz is a wonderful beach with iguana’s and crab’s and clear water. We got a Royal jungle view with private pool - I would say the room and the bathroom were amazing but the private is outside and not connected to your room. We had to call front desk every time to turn the pool on and the lights didn't work which becomes dark to swim after sunset. The breakfast was amazing and all the facilities were provided. Overall I would say Shana is a top-class hotel and it is worth the price to stay.
