Spent 300 per night. The location is on a cliff, so it’s hell of a drive to get in and out of the area (if you wanna go to the national park or downtown). when we first arrived, the receptionist spent 3 minutes going over the layover of the resort and promised a guided tour will be done with a golf cart, but didn’t happen. When got to the room, the curtain didn’t close and was obviously missing a piece. Called the front desk, who said someone will be over in 10 minutes. Waited 15 minutes for someone to get there, who took a look and said will be back in 5 minutes, and ofc he didn’t come back in time. Obviously I didn’t wanna waste time waiting for them, so I went to the front desk physically, which btw, is also a hell of a hike uphill, the lady told me that she’s working on a solution, but no details and timeline. So I decided to explore the beach, while they are working on a “solution”, meanwhile we’ve already wasted 40 minutes. When we came back from the beach, another 45 minutes later, they were in our room fixing, along with a manager, who basically told us to soilder through the night and will replace a new one next day. And she didn’t mention anything like “I’m sorry” or “apologies.” To make the matter worse, we got locked out twice because they failed to change the batteries. The breakfast is also terrible, linens are dirty and old, there’s no sound isolation, and useless staff. Overall, absolute nightmare and so not worth the money

It was a very unique property with monkeys seen daily . Buffet breakfast was great with multiple options . William the guest service person was super helpful and willing to assist with all our excursions and transportation needs . The staff was amazing and always smiling and accommodating. Unfortunately our room was dated with appliances that did not function properly, the counter around the bathroom sink was broken and the taps very loose. Also the toilet was held to the floor with only one nut and appeared to be leaking . The toilet barely flushed as well .

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.

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!

The property is beautiful and our room was lovely. The hotel provides beach access via a steep path to a public beach, where vendors rent lounge chairs and umbrellas and sell food and other items. Not private. The room TV is internet, not cable. You must connect to your own apps and a "casting" app costs $. Seems chintzy for an otherwise lovely and expensive hotel. Staff is wonderful. Nice pool area with adult pool. Views outstanding. Overall I would return.

Shana's location was excellent: close to a wonderful beach accessible from the property, and a short (though hilly) walk to Manuel Antonio town. Our party had two rooms with ocean views that were close together. They were, bright, clean, nicely appointed, and comfortable. There are two pool areas, but we only discovered the adult pool towards the end of our stay (would have used it more.) We really enjoyed the views from the open-air restaurant and witnessed monkeys there a few times. Overall, the food selection was good and whatever we ordered was tasty. We particularly liked the breakfast buffet. A shout out to Javier, Andre, Edgar, and Lizandro for their excellent service. Be sure to catch the beautiful sunset views from the property!

Not a premium or luxury experience, very basic. There is nothing special about this property, rooms are very basic and kind of boring actually. In need of redesign or remodeling. For example the lighting needs work, allow some sort of dimming. We also hated the smell of their body gel and shampoo, I hope they consider something different. It's a long walk down to the beach and you can definitely go to a nicer beach close by. The staff were friendly though. I think they just need a creative mind to uplift the experience, room designs/comfort, add some soul and luxury to the rooms, revamp the bathroom stuff, make sure there is ventilation in the bathrooms. Maybe include complimentary water everyday at the very least. We walked to the reception area multiple times to ask for water (which is very difficult to get to) and the night reception manager Oliver told us if the restaurant is closed just drink water from bathroom sink. We saw piles of bottle water in the storage areas everyday we walked by, they did have bottled water available, maybe just lazy to give it to us. Anyways this is supposed to be a premium property and experience based on the way it presents itself on travel websites but thats not the overall experience we had.

Ofrecer una habitación al momento de reservar y al llegar es algo súper diferente, una habitación con un olor repugnante, toda la noche con un olor a humedad es un problema que ya tienen desde hace bastante por qué tienen varios aparatos de humanizador que igual no quitan del todo el olor, mi hermana es asmática y aún así no les importo y solo dijeron que no tenían más habitaciones, no tienen un buen servicio al cliente y su excusa era porque había llegado tarde cuándo es un hotel y puedo llegar a la hora que yo quiera, no deberían ofrecer esa habitación si saben el problema que tienen, me sentí cero satisfecha, JAMÁS volvería a este hotel y mucho menos volvería reservar por Expedia porque no dan un seguro, les mencioné lo que sucedía y lo único que hicieron fue dizque un bono de 50 dólares cuando no equivale ni un cuarto a lo que pague, pase una noche fatal.
