Nice hotel shame about the food
Overall we enjoyed this hotel, we stayed in a jungle room with shared pool. There were however a number of negative points. Out of all the hotels we stayed in in Costa Rica (7 in total) I found the staff here to be the most unhelpful and unfriendly. They wore T shirts saying "I love my job" but mostly they just looked miserable! They refused to serve tap water in the restaurant and overall I found the restaurant to be very expensive for what I'd consider mediocre food.

This was our fancy night on an otherwise more budgeted trip and we LOVED it! Shana clings to the side of the hill at the end of a narrow road on a pretty undeveloped peninsula, so there are lots of animals in the surrounding jungle. We saw a sloth at the beach, and toucans and squirrel monkeys from the open-air restaurant. The pool was lovely. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was almost silly it was so large, I went snorkeling from the beach but didn't have good visibility. You can rent kayaks on the beach. The one downside is this isn't a good option for anyone who has mobility issues because it's on such a steep slope. There's a staff member with a golf cart to give anyone a ride from their room level up to the restaurant, etc., so that helps. The walk down to Playa Briensz is down (and up) a steep trail. Also, the view faces north, so you don't have a view of the ocean or the sunset.

Lovely room, cleaned thoroughly daily. The walk to and from the beach was a highlight. The restaurant was mediocre at best and it is an incredibly difficult walk uphill to get to other restaurants or stores. We had a full kitchen but could not buy water or other food while we were on the property. A shuttle service into town OR a small hotel shop selling food basics would have made this a perfect perfect stay. Beautiful and secluded with amazing beach. Ultimately, this is what really matters !

We really enjoyed the private trail from the hotel to the beach. There are local people providing rental services such as lounge chairs and kayaks at the beach as well as beverages for sale. The beach is in a protected cove and wonderful to swim in. The view from the restaurant and pool area is lovely, overlooking the tree canopy and the water. Staff were great - Elvis at check in, Kevin in the golf cart, Byron at the pool and more. The hotel manager visited with us to insure we were enjoying ourselves and did not have any issues.
