We were very excited to stay at the property based off of the reviews we read when planning our trip. I was disappointed with our room. It was not very clean and it’s needs a lot of TLC. We did love seeing the monkeys on our way to breakfast.

We stayed at the Shana for a week over spring break. Everything about it was wonderful. The staff, the beach, the pool, the breakfast. we saw more wildlife on the hotel proper than we did in Manuel Antonio National Park. The monkeys were daily entertainment. There is a sloth that hangs out in a tree by the adult pool and a set of scarlet macaws that will fly in every day. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

It’s a nice hotel. For me the pool was a highlight. The listing for the hotel says the rooms are soundproofed. I’m not sure why because they clearly are not. I listened to the child next door scream every evening. It seemed just like one of the things you encounter when you travel.
