We had a wonderful week long stay at Shana. Our 7 year old daughter had a blast at the pool and the beach nearby (hotel has direct access). We saw so much wildlife right from our balcony! Staff were very nice and helpful and assisted us with making plans in the area. Shana also set us up with transportation to/from the airport. We appreciated the hospitality!

My husband and I appreciated our ocean view room and balcony. A amazing view. Saw lots of monkeys (learned we needed to lock the sliding door to keep them out of the room!) and loved seeing the sloths doing their thing in the trumpet tree. Room was comfortable-a mirror outside of the bathroom would have been helpful along with more towel racks or hooks. Our tv didn’t always work and we were told the internet was the issue. Power also went out a few times during our stay (we experienced a few thunderstorms). Staff were overall friendly and helpful - solid customer service for sure. Unfortunately, the hotel was undergoing construction during our stay (I wish this fact was disclosed on Expedia) and it was incredibly noisy over a few days - when I told the front desk we were offered a gift certificate to use in the restaurant which was some compensation. Restaurant was pleasant with good quality food. A local musician performed in the restaurant one night which was a welcome change from the sometimes overly loud pop music that played in the pool area. In such a beautiful location, the too loud mostly old American music detracted from the experience. Beautifully landscaped, lovely walk to Biesanz beach. We also walked all the way to Manuel Antonio beach but that was quite the hike.

We stayed with the magnificent trees of Costa Rica. Monkeys sometimes visited our patio with butterflies dancing below. The staff was warm, eager to make us feel welcome, prepared yummy local breakfast, and connected us to wonderful tours. It felt like we were in a living painting. We are grateful for all the conservation efforts from the locals so the world can have safe breaths. Gracias. Pura Vida.
