"My wife and I hosted a 4-night creativity, art and music, retreat at this amazing place and it worked perfectly. We were 14 people (we rented this full villa and the 'owner's villa' next to it.) The location is breathtaking. Literally steps from a beautiful beach that we more or less had to ourselves. The ocean here is perfect for swimming and splashing around. We had visits from Capuchin monkeys, a sloth, and many beautiful birds and iguanas. The rooms are amazing and all our guest were very happy with the accommodations. The upstairs master bedroom is incredible. We hired Karla to make our lunches and dinners and her cooking was delicious and varied with lots of local fruits, vegetables and flavors. We worked with her to create the menu and it exceeded expectations. The villa is close to a little store that is well stocked for most anything. We also worked with Flory to coordinated transportation and scheduling and she is a joy to work with. The owners were very responsive as well. This is a fantastic place to stay and we hope to be back!"

"We loved staying at the Shana by the Beach. Highlights included our room (we had an amazing oceanfront view with double king beds, kitchen and a balcony with dining table), the pool area (has an adults-only side with infinity pool view of the ocean, though it’s a little small, and a 2 for 1 happy hour from 3-6 pm daily), delicious complimentary breakfast (however, they serve the same dishes daily and might consider changing it up a little), and abundant hotel wildlife like white faced and squirrel monkeys and Toucans. Amenities were clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. There is also a jungle path (7-10 minute walk) down to Playa Biesanz, which is a small public beach nestled in a cove (bring water shoes as it’s a little rocky and cash for drinks and snacks). Playa Espadilla (public beach) is also only a 10-minute Uber ride, and in my opinion the nicest of the four local beaches I visited, even Manuel Antonio Beach. A few suggestions or things I learned: (1) per my research, we rented a car but should have just got a shuttle from the airport to Manuel Antonio, (2) driving around Manuel Antonio is hectic with windy roads and tight spaces, so ubering is inexpensive and hassle-free since restaurant are close; and (3) the monkeys that live around the resort will open your balcony door, so keep it locked. Overall, I would recommend this resort for its location to Manuel Antonio Park, abundance of local restaurants, and its room and restaurant/pool views of the ocean. "
