This property is built into a steep hill overlooking the ocean. It is beautiful - a bit difficult to navigate getting in and out with your vehicle, but very doable. The pool area and restaurant are absolutely beautiful. The breakfast provided is amazing and if you go early (between 6 and 7) you will see the white faced monkeys trying to partake in the breakfast as well - haha! The pool has a great bar with some wonderful drinks. The mistake we made was getting there on a Monday evening not realizing the Manuel Antonio is closed on Tuesdays. You can go to the beach and shops around the park, just not go into the park on Tuesday. We did come back and enjoyed it on our last day and it is a flatter well manicured park with fantastic beaches inside the park - it is flat enough that you can tour with sandals instead of hiking shoes. If you can buy your tickets to the park online ahead of time, then you can avoid those people trying to make you pull over if you are driving to the park. There is a parking lot very close to the park and we had to just make up stories to get those people to stop bugging us about pulling over and parking. In the end we did get a space in the very close official lot and a great tour guide. The staff was very attentive and helpful with everything - however, we felt that the area that you book tours was not well organized and they didn't really help us with the questions we asked. We just embarked on our own and had a great time anyway!

Shana by the Ocean was not a pleasant experience. It's kind of like an a cheesy all inclusive, without including anything but breakfast (which you would get anywhere in Costa Rica). Management is not helpful, if you have any problems with your room, you will suffer. Stay at a cute boutique hotel, you will save money AND have a better experience! We loved our other 3 hotels in Costa Rica, they were perfect!

Overall, the area and view the hotel has is a 4/5. Most of the staff was friendly and has great customer service however, that was not the case with some of the waitresses in the restuarant. Nothing in this road is walkable due to narrow roads w/o sidewalks. Most of the tours provide transportation to and from.

1. The room was smelling of MOLD, we could not sleep, had allergic response - sneezing, itching and headache , tried turning the air condition "on" and "off", turning it on made it worse. I could not believe that a top rated hotel would be this bad. 2. The hotel says it has private access to the beach. While it was true, the access to the beach was very difficult and there was knee deep water heading to the beach shore. I Would rather spend my money on a hotel away from the beach and take a taxi to the beach. 3. Provided feedback to the hotel staff at check out. they didn't seem to take it seriously. 4. Breakfast was very good.

Shana is not worth the price nor is it a 4 star hotel. The property is in an inconvenient location with no nearby restaurants or shops. Next, its breakfast buffet was no better than what you would get at a good motel. The rooms were dated, and not well maintained. Also, if you’re in one of lower room numbers, you have to walk up a very steep hill to get to the pool or reception desk. The best part was the pool. Great water temperature and excellent pool bar. We won’t choose this hotel again. .

Shana is definitely better than the other hotel we stayed at. The playa biseanz is a wonderful beach with iguana’s and crab’s and clear water. We got a Royal jungle view with private pool - I would say the room and the bathroom were amazing but the private is outside and not connected to your room. We had to call front desk every time to turn the pool on and the lights didn't work which becomes dark to swim after sunset. The breakfast was amazing and all the facilities were provided. Overall I would say Shana is a top-class hotel and it is worth the price to stay.

The Hotel is well located with both jungle and beach vibes. The wild local monkeys put on a show in the mornings and evenings. I also saw a sloth from my second floor balcony. The 1st floor rooms in the 2nd and 3rd buildings are dark with view of brush. The higher the floor the better the view which can be amazing Staff were friendly and food was good Fruits are great. Overall the place is good but could be better. 4/5 I would stay again and do recommend this place.

Our stay was so wonderful! It was the perfect location to have easy access to beach pool and the rainforest. The staff were so helpful and kind. There was great wildlife to see right from the hotel at the right times of day! We had just a few minor recommendations- please provide a couple more bath towels, install a door sweep under the door (there was a small gap and we had a gecko roommate one night) and more hooks in the room for towels and wet items! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the jungle room with semiprivate pool that was cool and shaded.
