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!

Very nice hotel with close access to the beach, where you can rent chairs, kayaks, and snorkel. It is a very steep walk up the hill to the main road where there are several restaurants, coffee shop, and supermarket. Guest services arranged for our tours to Manuel Antonio, making planning excursions easy.

The property and surrounding area are beautiful, with a private trail leading directly to the beach. From our room, we could watch monkeys playing in the trees.The staff is super friendly, and they can help book transportations to the park and airport.

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.

Shana by the Beach was Stunning, Very Steep but they had golf carts to help with that, The beach access is about 1/4 mile hike. Very beautiful when you got down there. But we decided to go to the public beach near state park. Cabana rental was 1/2 price there. restaurant breakfast was awesome each morning--Very Great staff!! Road getting to this is very narrow, drive slow!! Lots of people walking by the road and motorcycles all over! Stunning hotel, We would go back there--very safe--gated, Thanks so much for building this beautiful Hotel!
