Guest reviews· 8.5/10 (1,985)

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio consistently receives high praise from guests, with many highlighting its excellent facilities and exceptionally friendly and entertaining staff. The hotel is frequently described as a "fantastic" and "pleasant" place to stay, particularly for families. Its unique location within the jungle offers a "one-of-a-kind experience," and the close proximity to a beautiful, accessible beach is a significant draw.

A recurring positive theme is the outstanding service, with guests emphasizing that the staff "made this a memorably happy stay" and would not hesitate to return. The on-site restaurant and spa and wellness center also contribute to the positive guest experience. Perks such as free on-site parking and special diet menus further enhance satisfaction.

While the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a common observation is the hotel's uphill location. Guests note that getting into town can be "a slog uphill," which might be a consideration for some. However, this is often balanced by the convenience of being close to the pool and the entertaining sight of monkeys, contributing to the hotel's jungle ambiance.
