"This was the BEST property we’ve ever stayed at!! Very secluded and private. Views are amazing and the food is incredible!! Rooms are beautiful and very well furnished. So many activities to do!! The staff treated us like we were the only people there."
"Zimmergrösse war in Ordnung, aber leider nicht geputzt. Handtücher, Seife und Shampoo waren noch vom Vorgänger da. Überall lagen tote Insekten.
Essen war ungenießbar. Irgendwelche Pasta mit Dosengemüse und Fertigsauce, Reis mit Fleisch komplett versalzen. Alles sehr lieblos.
Eigentlich sehr schade, weil die Anlage und Location sehr schön wäre. "

"This was the perfect property for our first visit to Manuel Antonio. The rooms were spacious ane comfortable. We saw monkeys on our balcony! We didn’t have a rooms with a view but I imagine the higher floors must have stunning views. The pool was beautiful and relaxing and had a plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for shade. The monkeys gave us quite a show in the late afternoon hopping balcony to balcony. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner there as well. We received amazing service from Javier, Edgar, Allan, Jazmin. And the beach was stunning and we loved walking right down the trail. The trail itself was so pretty with all of the flowers and vegetation but fair warning it was rocky and muddy and a very steep climb coming back. Wear tennis or sturdy shoes. It was a nice little hike! We rented chairs and umbrellas and standup paddleboards at the beach for not too much money. And we had delicious drinks and excellent service from the beach stands. There is no reason not to stay at Shana by the Beach! Rides to restaurants and Manuel Antonio National Park were about $10 each way. Enjoy!"
"The view is spectacular . Staff is kind , helpful and go above and beyond . I have stayed at this hotel 4x . The breakfast is so good ! Rooms are clean and very comfortable. Lots of restaurants that are walkable and it’s a quick bus ride to the beach every 15 min . The hotel has shuttle service as well ! 10/10 "
"Beautiful boutique hotel about a 5 min taxi from Manuel Antonio. Lots of monkeys and macaws to be seen around the lovely pool.
Very relaxing spot, fun bar/restaurant and another one by the pool.
Fabulous staff and the rooms are stunning and very spacious "
"We visited 3 regions of Costa Rica and this was our favorite. The food was amazing and well priced. We were overlooking the ocean and the jungle. Wildlife was everywhere. So many things to do nearby. "
"This hotel is truly one of a kind! The location is amazing—set right inside a beautiful park, it feels like you're staying in the middle of nature. The hotel offers both day and night tours, which were unforgettable. We saw so many animals, including colorful macaws and even a sloth! It was such a special experience.
Our room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. If you book a mountain view or ocean view room, you're in for a treat. Just a small note: if your room isn’t one of those, you may need to walk uphill a bit to get there unless you ask for a golf cart—but it’s not a big issue, and the walk is pleasant.
Everything was wonderful overall, though I did notice one girl working at the café didn’t seem not very happy. It didn’t affect our experience too much, but I hope management can work on improving customer service there.
All in all, this is a peaceful, unique place to stay if you love nature and wildlife. Highly recommended!"
"We really enjoyed this beautiful, intimate property. The staff were all super friendly and the atmosphere was great. The included breakfast was delicious. We will be back!"
"This hotel definitely has the best views in Manuel Antonio. The sunset and the view of the ocean were absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend eating dinner at the hotel restaurant during sunset. We were on the top floor with ocean view and it was stunning.
The only issue was that the elevator would go up to our floor but it wouldn’t go down. We didn’t mind walking down the stairs but it was tough when we were going to check out and had to carry our luggage. "
