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.

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.

The property was beautiful and had a fantastic view of the ocean. The staff were exceptional. We received excellent service from Javier, Johnny and Kevin. The location allowed for many animal sittings - monkeys, sloths, iguanas, parrots, and toucans.

My stay at Shana by the Beach was nothing short of magical. Nestled amidst lush jungle and just a short stroll from the sparkling sands of Playa Biesanz, the location offered pure serenity. The staff was warm and attentive, making every interaction feel personal and genuine. My room was spacious, and immaculately clean, with a balcony that opened to a mesmerizing view. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals—fresh seafood and tropical cocktails were standouts! Perfect for couples, solo travelers, families or anyone craving a relaxing yet luxurious beach escape. I left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of my return.

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.
