Beautiful views and nice beach access (you will have to make the trek up and down the stairs). Breakfast was tasty and offered plenty of opportunity to see the local monkeys. Staff did an excellent job of keeping them away from people.

The hotel overall was great. We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were a little old & plain. We did observe portions of the hotel closed for refurbishing. The breakfast & dinner were excellent. Including entertainment from the monkeys. The staff was wonderful especially Kevin the cart driver. He always seemed to be present when needed.

Great place to stay. As people have mentioned the hills on the property are very steep. It’s also a little dated in the rooms. However if you want some delusion and a great staff it’s a great place to stay. Thanks everyone!

It's a short walk to a great beach and breakfast is fantastic. Best gallo pinto we had on our trip! Our room was huge but a little dated. The staff was excellent and we loved our stay at Shana!
John, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at Shana, the monkeys that live in the trees nearby being regular visitors to the hotel pool and balconies. There is easy access to the beach from the hotel. The pool bar offers 2-4-1 drinks every afternoon and serves very good Woodfired pizzas, burgers, steaks and local cuisine. The small town of Manuel Antonio is around 0.5mike up a steep track, but taxis were easy enough to arrange from the hotel to there and further afield into Quepos. Watching the sunset from the pool bar with pina colada was memorable.
