Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

Junior suite! High ceilings. Gorgeous balcony overlooking jungle with sea behind it. Free breakfast is delicious. So much food! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They are amazing and it makes your stay that much better. The pool is gorgeous. We had pizza at the pool bar it was very good. Monkeys were climbing along the railings at the pool and tried to take a ladies fruit from her drink. They were climbing on the balconies as well. We saw a macaw on the property. The walk to the beach was pleasant it took us 5-10 minutes carrying our two year old son. Back up is harder but not terrible just take it slow. It’s very neat through the jungle.

It isn’t close to many restaurants and the only store doesn’t have all that much. You can’t really walk up the hill to restaurants and shops unless you are tip top shape and want a workout. It’s straight uphill. A taxi is $10 to get up the hill. Bathroom lighting was poor and they don’t have faceclothes. The AC units on the wall light up the room like a Christmas tree which was tough with a two year old.

It has a beautiful location overlooking the ocean high on a hill.

The roads to and from the location are windy and somewhat steep.

Everything was wonderful. The walk to the beach was amazing!

The hill to climb was step.

We had the Superior Ocean View Room and loved sitting on the small balcony overlooking the pool, jungle, and ocean. Breakfast was a buffet where they would make eggs, omelettes, or pancakes. The fruit was fresh and breads were good. The trail to the beach was steep. I walked it every morning and we got a shaded lounger 2 days ($20 per day for 2 chairs and an umbrella). There is a family pool and a small adult only pool.

Honestly, everything was wonderful. The monkeys were able to get into the rooms if the sliding glass door was not latched. Watching the monkeys was fun, but it is too bad they have been introduced to “people food”.

The dehumidifier in the room ,clean room and friendliness of the staff

The food. Piled high with chips and rice together, very greasy my partner couldn’t eat it and the righteous cleared it away without asking why he left it.

Beautiful sea view, Great location, short walk to the beach, abundance of wildlife including monkeys at breakfast, toucans, iguanas and macaws.

Building work being undertaken while time of our say. Drilling drowned out the noise of wildlife, not at all relaxing. Repairs needed within the room - bathroom sink broken, all units stained and damaged. Hotel is aged. Food was average, not a great choice for breakfast. Paying for the monkeys and location to the beach.

Beautiful ocean view studio room. Nice walk through foliage to arrive at the beach.

Located on steep hillside. Parking was tight. Massage was terrible.
