A little out of the way and the food was pricey but beautiful and close to the beach which can be a trek from other hotels. Currently building additional rooms so a bit noisy but not too bad.

Great place for family. The beach was within walking distance. We had monkey on our balcony every day, even had a sloth we could see in a tree as well. Very helpful staff! Enjoyed our stay!

The property is gorgeous, filled with beautiful vegetation and flowering shrubs, and trees. It is bursting with unique, birds, butterflies, and monkeys. We even spotted sloths in the trees multiple times with the help of the friendly staff. Our accommodation were clean and comfortable.

Small resort. Employees were ALL extremely nice & helpful! The beach access is not convenient! The rooms could use updating; furniture, lighting, & bathroom. "No toilet paper" in the toilet took some getting used to!

Property needs bit of a facelift not as luxurious as I thought it would be from photos It was a weekend when we arrived so lots of locals had come to the hotel and music and sports matches on the TVs were blasting out by the pool, quiter and more relaxing on Monday Surrounding trees and views were lovely and great seeing monkeys and birds snd a sloth from our balcony which was such a highlight Room 326 had a great balcony for wildlife spotting Breakfast was average

It is in a good location; walking distance with a private path to the beach. The breakfast was bland. The room we stayed at was big but the floor was super dirty.
Mina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Shana for a week over spring break. Everything about it was wonderful. The staff, the beach, the pool, the breakfast. we saw more wildlife on the hotel proper than we did in Manuel Antonio National Park. The monkeys were daily entertainment. There is a sloth that hangs out in a tree by the adult pool and a set of scarlet macaws that will fly in every day. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.
Jaclyn L, 6-night trip

Jose, 2-night trip

Hotel was tired and having stayed at several other places in CR, Shana felt an ordinary place to stay for the price we paid. We had a couple of issues with our room as well which was problematic. Manuel Antonio as a place to explore? absolutely amazing, beautiful beaches and parks with Sloths just hanging out in the trees - simply amazing.
Mark, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a nice hotel. For me the pool was a highlight. The listing for the hotel says the rooms are soundproofed. I’m not sure why because they clearly are not. I listened to the child next door scream every evening. It seemed just like one of the things you encounter when you travel.
