10/10 Excellent

A little out of the way and the food was pricey but beautiful and close to the beach which can be a trek from other hotels. Currently building additional rooms so a bit noisy but not too bad.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great customer service from every staff member we interacted with. We loved having access to the beach nearby. Happy hour every afternoon by the pool. Lots of wildlife just at our balcony, including sloths, toucans, and monkeys. We loved the stunning ocean view! Decent breakfast buffet included. We had dinner once on site which was ok. Enjoyed my massage. Johnny was great in helping us book our excursion.

Katarzyna, 4-night trip

Room was nice and clean. Parking was scary. Lol Pools were ok but pretty small and basic. Beach was a long walk down but pretty nice little beach. Walk back up is not super easy. All in all it was a nice place and the staff were all very friendly.
Shain M, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place for family. The beach was within walking distance. We had monkey on our balcony every day, even had a sloth we could see in a tree as well. Very helpful staff! Enjoyed our stay!
Troy, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The location of the hotel was great. Very close to Manuel Antonio park, with gorgeous views of the ocean. The property amenities were wonderful. However, the rooms although spacious and clean were in need of remodeling.
Yocelyn, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The Hotel is nice. On a hill! There are NOT activities planned in the hotel, you are in your own. The bedrooms doors connected to next door bedrooms aren’t safe, I requested adding a lock on the 3 doors… they did! Going to the beach is a 10 minutes walking, but the beach is AWESOME!

Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff and management were amazing. They were very accommodating. The room was so spacious. The walk to the beach was an adventure and it is beautiful. The breakfast was amazing and pizza at the restaurant was good. So excited to see monkeys outside balcony. I saw more wildlife at Shana than at the park. I definitely recommend this place. I loved it

This resort is beautiful!! All the staff members were very professional and very respectful! My fiancé and I had a great time! The beach is a little difficult to get to and the walks are a little steep, but it is definitely worth it as they have Kevin that drives you back-and-forth. Gracias Kevin por ser muy amable y una buena experiencia. Te vemos para la próxima vez.!
