Staff and management were amazing. They were very accommodating. The room was so spacious. The walk to the beach was an adventure and it is beautiful. The breakfast was amazing and pizza at the restaurant was good. So excited to see monkeys outside balcony. I saw more wildlife at Shana than at the park. I definitely recommend this place. I loved it

This was the perfect property for our first visit to Manuel Antonio. The rooms were spacious ane comfortable. We saw monkeys on our balcony! We didn’t have a rooms with a view but I imagine the higher floors must have stunning views. The pool was beautiful and relaxing and had a plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for shade. The monkeys gave us quite a show in the late afternoon hopping balcony to balcony. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner there as well. We received amazing service from Javier, Edgar, Allan, Jazmin. And the beach was stunning and we loved walking right down the trail. The trail itself was so pretty with all of the flowers and vegetation but fair warning it was rocky and muddy and a very steep climb coming back. Wear tennis or sturdy shoes. It was a nice little hike! We rented chairs and umbrellas and standup paddleboards at the beach for not too much money. And we had delicious drinks and excellent service from the beach stands. There is no reason not to stay at Shana by the Beach! Rides to restaurants and Manuel Antonio National Park were about $10 each way. Enjoy!

Very glad we chose Shana!

The property is small and charming; all the staff is so hospitable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The beach is small and can be crowded but it is beautiful and the walk down to the beach is a nice fantastic jungle hike . We had monkeys on our veranda daily. The pool temp was perfect. The food is great. The breakfast buffet is more than substantial. The only disappointment is the spa only had one worker and no availability though signs up everywhere advertising it. Felt silly and useless. We would most definitely stay here again!
Monkeys on the Lanai next to our room.

This resort is beautiful!! All the staff members were very professional and very respectful! My fiancé and I had a great time! The beach is a little difficult to get to and the walks are a little steep, but it is definitely worth it as they have Kevin that drives you back-and-forth. Gracias Kevin por ser muy amable y una buena experiencia. Te vemos para la próxima vez.!
