The first night the Junior suite we booked had very bad damp, musty smell. Made it hard to sleep, notified the staff and were able to give us a different room. We were there on Christmas eve till the day after Christmas. Breakfast was great both days,the Christmas dinner needed more options than f8sh, chicken and veggies especially at the price point. We opted to go out to a nearby nearby location with a full menu options. The Shana by the Beach staff are their best assets.

Its a bit of a drive in from the main road so you can't really walk to other places safely. Pool space, drinks and food is pretty good. The walk to the beach can be strenuous but doable in sandals/flipflops. Pretty close to Manuel Antonio. Would visit again.

Shana was a great place to stay. The resort is showing signs of age but was still very comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful and the dinner we had was amazing. The view is very nice and you are truly a part of nature with monkeys, Scarlett macaws and iguanas around. Overall we really enjoyed this resort

We got stranded in Costa Rica because of a tropical storm and had to leave the vrbo we were staying at. The shana was more than accommodating and found 4 rooms for us and made us real right at home. The property is gorgeous with tons of wild life and beautiful views. We would definitely return to this hotel on future visits!

Excellent location, beautiful surroundings and easy access to its private beach! Monkeys stole the show! Plenty of wildlife to see! Breakfast buffet was ok, not many selections. The hotel could use a hot tub especially during rainy season when the temperatures are low.

This property is NOT worthy of a 4-star category. I had booked a Oceanview room with a king bed for a 2 night stay. There were several issues.Toilet would not flush unless you press & hold the knob all the way until it completed the flush cycle. Calling repair service didn't help. Bathroom sink faucet was actually a very old style single handle with a long spout more like a kitchen sink faucet. Bathroom sink had no sink stopper or strainer with ugly sinkhole fully visible. Old wooden furniture with sticky wooden top surface everywhere in the room. All the old furniture, bathroom & shower fixtures desperately needs upgrading for aesthetic and appealing look & feel. Breakfast choices in the restaurant were very mediocre with very little options for vegetarians. For me this was more like a 2.5 star hotel and doesn't deserve 4-star classification.
