Shana is not worth the price nor is it a 4 star hotel. The property is in an inconvenient location with no nearby restaurants or shops. Next, its breakfast buffet was no better than what you would get at a good motel. The rooms were dated, and not well maintained. Also, if you’re in one of lower room numbers, you have to walk up a very steep hill to get to the pool or reception desk. The best part was the pool. Great water temperature and excellent pool bar. We won’t choose this hotel again. .

Shana is definitely better than the other hotel we stayed at. The playa biseanz is a wonderful beach with iguana’s and crab’s and clear water. We got a Royal jungle view with private pool - I would say the room and the bathroom were amazing but the private is outside and not connected to your room. We had to call front desk every time to turn the pool on and the lights didn't work which becomes dark to swim after sunset. The breakfast was amazing and all the facilities were provided. Overall I would say Shana is a top-class hotel and it is worth the price to stay.

The Hotel is well located with both jungle and beach vibes. The wild local monkeys put on a show in the mornings and evenings. I also saw a sloth from my second floor balcony. The 1st floor rooms in the 2nd and 3rd buildings are dark with view of brush. The higher the floor the better the view which can be amazing Staff were friendly and food was good Fruits are great. Overall the place is good but could be better. 4/5 I would stay again and do recommend this place.

Our stay was so wonderful! It was the perfect location to have easy access to beach pool and the rainforest. The staff were so helpful and kind. There was great wildlife to see right from the hotel at the right times of day! We had just a few minor recommendations- please provide a couple more bath towels, install a door sweep under the door (there was a small gap and we had a gecko roommate one night) and more hooks in the room for towels and wet items! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the jungle room with semiprivate pool that was cool and shaded.

Pro's: Excellent breakfast. Great that they have a family pool and adult only pool. Arranged for transportation into town at a reasonable price. We had booked a room with a "private pool" but we couldn't use it at night because of the mosquitoes -- it was nice for a late afternoon dip though with a cocktail. Con's: location is not very convenient for walking up hill to town and the private trail to the beach is available, but the beach below is nothing special. Hotel is on a steep hill, that they have a golf cart shuttle to take you from your room to the lobby. I would not recommend for people with mobility issues Overall, if I went again to the area the question is would I stay here again, and the answer is no, hence me 2 star rating.

We had a fantastic stay at Shana! The service was outstanding—from advance planning, arrival, tour scheduling, and meals at the restaurant—the staff went above and beyond. Their attentiveness and professionalism set this hotel apart. The location is really great too. We enjoyed the beach access and convenience to Manuel Antonio Nat'l Park and Ziplining Tour. I’ll definitely be returning!
