The rooms were spacious, clean and had a true jungle view. Every staff member we encountered was great from front desk, drivers, activity coordinator, waiters, cleaning and masseuse. Easy access to the beach. If you have mobility problems getting to beach might be difficult.

The hotel is beautiful and the room was amazing. We had a room with a private pool that our kids absolutely loved. The staff was unbelievably kind and helpful. The only "complaint" we can think of is that the beds were hard.

The views were beautiful and the property well maintained. The only tweaks I’d make is the drains get very smelly in the rooms so might want to regularly clean those.

My stay was wonderful! My room was very spacious, and the bathroom was huge. I made a great decision staying at this hotel. I had an enormous spider on my bathroom cathedral ceiling, and someone was there to remove it within 5 minutes. Customer service was amazing, shoutout to Kevin and Fiona at the front desk. Food was ok, can’t rave over that. Lol. There is no gym, but if you walk that steep hill a few times a day you’ll be good. The walking path to the beach was longer than expected, but nice. WILL DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN.

Staff here go above and beyond to help you. The property is built on a cliff and isn’t easily walkable but they offered golf cart service to make our trip enjoyable. We could not get to the beach as the walk was too steep. Driving to the resort was scary and it was difficult to park at the resort. But the view and the room were great. We had monkeys on our balcony looking for food.

This was one of the stops from our itinerary and Shana by the Beach provides that Pura Vida experience package all in one area. We arrived at Quepos super early around 9AM due to dropping off a friend for an early flight home just prior. We knew check-in was at 3pm but there was lots to do in the area anyway until ready time. We did ask if early check-in was possible and we weren't giving our hopes up, but Elvis Artavia from the front desk team went Above and Beyond to accommodate us and checked us in at 11AM! Our room was very clean, the A/C comfortably set and had the greatest ocean view from our balcony. Monkeys and toucans! Yes! -just from our balcony. Staffing all throughout was awesome. Friendliness goes both ways and long. This indeed did add for a more pleasant stay and experience. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Shana by the Beach...

The view is beautiful and staff and facilities are nice, but overall feels a bit overpriced for what it is. Being able to walk down the beautiful path to the beach is the selling point, but some of the issues with noise, especially early in the morning for deliveries, the datedness of rooms and lack of extra touches and the quality of breakfast make it feel lower than the higher end resort it’s billed as. Overall we had a great stay but would probably look ant different options next time, at lower price point.

Our stay at Shana was wonderful. The customer service of the staff was amazing from start to finish. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. My only complaint is the linens appeared to be a bit worn and could be replaced. The pillows were also not that comfortable. The area isn’t really walkable due to steep hills but transportation to nearby restaurants was easy and staff were available on golf carts to assist with getting up the hills and carrying luggage. I would definitely stay here again.
