This was one of the stops from our itinerary and Shana by the Beach provides that Pura Vida experience package all in one area. We arrived at Quepos super early around 9AM due to dropping off a friend for an early flight home just prior. We knew check-in was at 3pm but there was lots to do in the area anyway until ready time. We did ask if early check-in was possible and we weren't giving our hopes up, but Elvis Artavia from the front desk team went Above and Beyond to accommodate us and checked us in at 11AM! Our room was very clean, the A/C comfortably set and had the greatest ocean view from our balcony. Monkeys and toucans! Yes! -just from our balcony. Staffing all throughout was awesome. Friendliness goes both ways and long. This indeed did add for a more pleasant stay and experience. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Shana by the Beach...

The view is beautiful and staff and facilities are nice, but overall feels a bit overpriced for what it is. Being able to walk down the beautiful path to the beach is the selling point, but some of the issues with noise, especially early in the morning for deliveries, the datedness of rooms and lack of extra touches and the quality of breakfast make it feel lower than the higher end resort it’s billed as. Overall we had a great stay but would probably look ant different options next time, at lower price point.

Our stay at Shana was wonderful. The customer service of the staff was amazing from start to finish. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. My only complaint is the linens appeared to be a bit worn and could be replaced. The pillows were also not that comfortable. The area isn’t really walkable due to steep hills but transportation to nearby restaurants was easy and staff were available on golf carts to assist with getting up the hills and carrying luggage. I would definitely stay here again.

Shana by the beach is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and clean, monkeys are everywhere, they come to the balcony and swing from one room to the other hoping to find an unlocked door. We saw 3 kinds, Squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys who kept jumping into the balcony and knocking the chairs. It was fun to watch. The included buffet breakfast is good, monkeys try to steal food so watch out, the staff is extra friendly, the 2 pools were nice. Beautiful place . Would love to go again.

Shana by the Beach is a beautiful property. The rooms are big, clean and you feel like you’re immersed in the middle of nature. We had monkeys visit us every day. A big plus is access to the beach from the hotel which most hotels in the area do not have. Couple of things I’m going to nitpick at, especially because this is a four-star hotel, service at the restaurant was not good. Food took too long to come out on most days and the buffet run inefficiently. I would say the main issue here was they seem to be very understaffed in the restaurant. Add a couple of busboys, and a couple additional service during breakfast and this issue could easily be solved. Overall, a great property to stay at, lots of amenities, quiet, and very close to manual Antonio national Park.

I had a delightful stay at Shana by the Beach. The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery and offers breathtaking views of the ocean. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. The food at the on-site restaurant was delicious, especially the fresh seafood. The pool area was a great place to relax, and the swim-up bar was a nice touch. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica.

Beautiful hotel, truly enjoyed all the wildlife we got to see there- monkeys, sloths and macaw birds. Unfortunately, we had issues with the room. The jacuzzi didn't work and had to get serviced while we were there. Once we thought the issue with the room was over, my child discovered some kinda bug/roach in his bed. Overall, we did enjoy our time because of the amazing environment and location.

While the staff at this property were nice, I was very disappointed at them requesting an additional fee in the hundreds upon our check in even though I was fully paid through Expedia. They said this was due to us having two kids and our reservation was made for 2 adults. We booked the family suite with two king beds, and I don’t understand why having two kids would require the additional charges. We did attend the free breakfast nor did we request housekeeping. I asked the manager to waive the charges, but they denied. So beware if you are staying there that kids cost extra regardless of your room type.

What an amazing property! We loved our stay. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautiful. The high ceilings were striking and the lighting was great. I wouldn’t normally comment on this, but those touches were notable. The coffee in the room was exceptional. My only note — and not enough to dock a star — is that there are no hooks or racks to hang anything on. Not even in the bathrooms. So, our wet towels and suits ended up being draped all over the room. The walk down to the beach is quite steep, but it’s a beautiful path and doable in flip flops. Bring water socks for the beach. The sand is lovely but the cove itself has lots of rocks and shells that can tear you up. This beach is lovely but also pretty small. Great for small children and paddle boarding, but the waves aren’t substantial enough for boogie boarding. If you’re staying more than a couple of days you will want to explore other beaches.
