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.

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
