Troy, 5-night trip

The location of the hotel was great. Very close to Manuel Antonio park, with gorgeous views of the ocean. The property amenities were wonderful. However, the rooms although spacious and clean were in need of remodeling.
Yocelyn, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The Hotel is nice. On a hill! There are NOT activities planned in the hotel, you are in your own. The bedrooms doors connected to next door bedrooms aren’t safe, I requested adding a lock on the 3 doors… they did! Going to the beach is a 10 minutes walking, but the beach is AWESOME!

Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff and management were amazing. They were very accommodating. The room was so spacious. The walk to the beach was an adventure and it is beautiful. The breakfast was amazing and pizza at the restaurant was good. So excited to see monkeys outside balcony. I saw more wildlife at Shana than at the park. I definitely recommend this place. I loved it

Mario, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This resort is beautiful!! All the staff members were very professional and very respectful! My fiancé and I had a great time! The beach is a little difficult to get to and the walks are a little steep, but it is definitely worth it as they have Kevin that drives you back-and-forth. Gracias Kevin por ser muy amable y una buena experiencia. Te vemos para la próxima vez.!

10/10 Excellent

Everything about this place was great. The views, the monkeys and toucans we could see from our balcony, the sloths down the beach, the golf cart and breakfast, and even the bottles of water for the road when we checked out
Heidi, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great hotel for the price. Due to location, the property is on a very steep hill so be prepared to get your work out. Also, the beach is not 4 min, more like a 15 min hike. My husband and I did not mind it at all as we liked the exercise. We would definitely recommend ( did not receive the VIP amenities though, just a room upgrade for 3/4 nights. We had to move to a different room on the 4th night)

Property needs bit of a facelift not as luxurious as I thought it would be from photos It was a weekend when we arrived so lots of locals had come to the hotel and music and sports matches on the TVs were blasting out by the pool, quiter and more relaxing on Monday Surrounding trees and views were lovely and great seeing monkeys and birds snd a sloth from our balcony which was such a highlight Room 326 had a great balcony for wildlife spotting Breakfast was average
