The property itself was excellent. Built on the side of a mountain, walking was difficult due to steep incline. There is no transportation to the beach, which is disappointing. Walking in the steep inclines and numerous stairs down to the beach discourages older people from enjoying the beach.

We loved everything about the hotel, especially the constant entertainment of the monkeys! If you came to Costa Rica to enjoy the wildlife, you'll be very happy at this hotel. Our room was very nice and clean, the breakfast was delicious and there were lots of options to chose from. The pools had a beautiful views of the greenery and the ocean. Only downside is that the hotel is about 20-25 mins from town where all the restaurants and shops are, and it's quite the hike with the area having big hills and no sidewalks. But if you're the kind of person who is happy just having the hotel food, this won't be a problem. There are so many food options on the menu. I definitely recommend staying at this hotel!

I had carefully reviewed several 5-star hotels before deciding to book Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio. Unfortunately, this was a major disappointment. Upon arrival, I was informed by the front desk that there was daily construction happening every morning. This was never disclosed online at the time of booking. When I raised this issue, the staff told me they had already informed Expedia to post a notice. That’s not the customer’s responsibility — it’s the hotel’s duty to ensure transparency. Despite acknowledging the problem, no compensation or meaningful solution was offered. The room itself was far from what one would expect from a 5-star property. The faucet was loose and wobbly, the room had a dense, unpleasant smell, and the overall condition felt outdated and poorly maintained. It was clear that the property has not been properly cleaned or refreshed for some time. Between the constant noise, lack of disclosure, and substandard room quality, I would honestly rate this hotel as a 3-star at best. I would not recommend this place to anyone expecting a true 5-star resort experience.
