Staff was awesome, Alan the chef was amazing. Alan prepared a dish specifically made for us and it was delicious, he went out of his way to make us feel at home, thank you Alan! Edgar the waiter prepared a tropical juice that we would have every morning and had us thinking about it all day long. The staff at the office, they were just so helpful. Kevin, the best and always wanting to help us, we are going to miss you Kevin, hope you are enjoying your vacation, you deserve it! All in all if we ever go back this is the place where we will stay! Again thank you Shana by the beach. And PURA ViDA my friends.

Gem on the Pacific side!
Even though we had a problem getting the TV to work properly and the AC froze up, they immediately and pleasantly fixed the issues with little to know problems. The staff was super helpful and kind in their service. The view, pool, and pool area are stunning and relaxing.

Shana By the Beach is Beautiful and surrounded by the incredible natural area. The staff is pleasant and attentive and available to assist with any needs, even golf carts to help manage in the steep terrain. Steps descend from the hotel to Biesanz Beach, which was very convenient, but also a lovely surprise. A monkey crossed our path one morning- delightful! Breakfast is delicious and the full Costa Rican fare plus more, with spectacular views. The pools are beautiful, will try to spend some time there next time!
