Review for Jan 2024- Shana by the Beach
We stayed at Shana by the Beach for 7 nights in a superior ocean view room. As mentioned in several of the reviews, if you have any kind of mobility issues or are in poor physical condition, this property is not for you. Especially in the ocean view rooms, walking to any other part of the property entails traversing a very steep walkway. Additionally, walking to the beach is rather steep with many stairs. They do have employees on golf carts assisting but they are not always around and they cannot assist with beach access. This property is not within walking distance of shopping or restaurants due to the steep, long winding roadway. If you use a taxi, it will cost you at least $10 one way to the neighboring town of Quepos & Manual Antonio. My 4 star review is due to these things along with some water issues we experienced on two separate days (absolutely no water for periods of the day). Pros for this property are: free breakfast, good food, great views, excellent service at the front desk and tour office. We also saw lots of animals (fiery billed aracari bird, macaws, toucans, spider & white faced monkeys to name a few). Bar and restaurant service was average.

Our stay at Shana by the Beach was a wildlife experience! Each day we had “ front row seats” to capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and toucans. Most of them were right in the trees by our balcony! The included breakfast was excellent with choices galore. Fortunately there were golf cart drivers to take us up the steep road to the restaurant and pool. Although there is access to a lovely beach in a cove, there is no way to get there but to walk. Going down is fine. The hike back up was tough on our 70 yr old bodies. Our room was spacious with a huge bathroom and comfortable bed. We would have enjoyed having a stronger output from the air conditioner. Even with the hike and not as cool as we like room, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will return
