Shana By The Beach Hotel is a great family-friendly resort located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Great staff, friendly service, wonderful food and excellent experience. They have a great new sports bar by the pool and they offer FREE Pool Access to the public, Free WiFi, Great Happy Hour Specials, Karaoke and Bingo on Sundays.
One of the best options in Costa Rica. They have a beautiful propperty with a direct access to a hidden small beach. Rooms are nice and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.I recommend the Shana very high.
Excellent hotel between the jungle and the ocean. Food is great. Staff very friendly and the rooms are the best.
This is an excellent hotel in Manuel Antonio and very friendly for families. The rooms are modern and very clean. All the staff are very friendly and offer the best Costarican hospitality. We recommend it highly.
This the best friendly hotel in Costa Rica. Rooms are excellent and the property is amazing. Why friendly, because the staff are the best, smily, friendly ,helpful and very professional. The pool area is like a dream. The path to the beach is like a tour, jungle, animals and the walk is so beautiful. Food is a big WAAAAW.
First, this is the hotel your guaranteed to have monkeys explore your room if you leave your balcony door open. We had visit to our balcony from multiple monkeys during our three day visit. Next the hotel pool and pool bar offered great view as well. Michael the bar tender provided outstanding customer service. Very personable and sought to ensure we were all taken care of. Definitely a recommend.
Not as "by the beach" as you would expect. You need to hike through non flipflop friendly jungle to get to the beach (which floods during high tide).
Big, clean, and beautiful rooms. Very good but expensive food. Had daily issues with magnetic key cards.
Great Hotel with exellent customer services, the food is also great
Hotel is beautiful and nice view yet the restaurant is very slow . We ordered a pizza . It came after 70 minutes
Nice hotel close the the beach.
Sloths, monkeys, toucans vosited for breakfast.
This has been the best stay of my entire vacation! The staff was so wonderful and nice. We were only going to stay one night and ended up staying a second night because our accommodations were so great. The complimentary breakfast was amazing and we even had a view of a sloth hanging in the trees off of the balcony. The rooms were gorgeous and clean. I would definitely suggest this place, only sorry we didn't have more time.
Friendly staff. Nice secluded beach w/hidden access. Clean & modern.
Quaint hotel, very nice rooms and surroundings. Food is just ok.
Stopped of for lunch.
Very friendly staff. Freshly made to order pizza in a wood-fired oven on premises.
The prices were pretty steep by Costa Rican (and American standards), but it's the closest place for lunch to Playa Beisanz (if you don't include the stalls on the beach).
A nice place, but know you are right near the jungle. Meaning, be ready to see animals all around, and sometimes inside, your room. We were greeted by a sloth outside our window. Crabs scuttled through the hallway at night. It was a good time.
This is rated as a 4+ star hotel, but found lizards, ants, spiders & cockroaches in our room. From the pictures on the hotel website, it looks very modern and the exterior is indeed very nice. Pool and the restaurant are also very nice. The room we are in has good view but the furniture seems substandard. The bed skirt is torn. Floor tiles have spots giving a dirty appearance. Bathroom is modern but again there are many ants. All in all the insects in the room made the experience really creepy. Absolutely not recommended.
