All the staff was courteous, kind, and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable beds, with attention to detail. The property was immaculate and teaming wildlife. We saw sloths, monkeys, birds, iguanas, scarlet macaws, a few snakes, and a bunch of other animals I don’t know the name of. It’s was great!

Shana by the beach is an amazing boutique resort. Immersed in the rain forest with amazing views including the ocean. We were on a ladies trip and it was perfect. The staff are so welcoming and they love their job, literally as their shirts say it too. Ironically I didn't notice until my girlfriend called it out but genuinely they are so nice. We had the most amazing fried snapper and were so relaxed after hanging poolside, we ordered in one night in the evening. We also did the Cataraman sunset tour which I highly recommend. The drive to get to Shana is worth it but be prepared as it is a hike and once you are there, you have trails to the beach which is part of the rain forest and be on guard as the white belly monkeys will visit. I plan to go back with my family.

Disliked: Staff & service
I've been here before and I loved it! However, when I booked a new trip, they neglected to inform me that the usual route was and would be out. It would cost me hundreds of dollars just to get there, and an 8-10 hour drive. And then the rice back. I did not have the time or the money, and had to cancel. I was not reimbursed and told they could just give alternate routes (which I could not afford). It's too bad, I loved this place.

Paradise on earth, beach, rainforst,room. 10 of 10
Paradise! A near-private beach that was about as good as Manuel Antonio (accessible only through two hotel paths). Winding paths through a private rainforest, relaxing pool with swing chairs. Delicious breakfast buffet. Rooms were quiet, could not hear any neighbors even though it was full during my stay. Balcony overlooked the ocean and the forest canopy. I travel a lot (Marriott lifetime titanium) and this easily compared to some of the best hotels out there. Hope to come back one day.

I always love staying at Shana by the Beach. This is my third time in Costa Rica and my third time staying at this property. Everything is clean and nice and the staff are friendly and professional. I particularly adore Javier, a server in the restaurant. He always treats my family and I so pleasantly. Beautiful property with an amazing view of the ocean!

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 !
