Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

Multiple guests describe the resort as very clean and immaculately kept; rooms and common areas praised for cleanliness.

Staff repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and welcoming (reception, pool bar, breakfast staff), with isolated incidents of early/poor communication from some staff members.

Excellent location with private beach access, close to the national park and spectacular ocean views; many guests highlighted beach proximity and scenery.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable for many guests, but some mentioned uncomfortable beds/pillows and disturbances from in-room work or housekeeping.

Strong amenities: impressive pools, pool bar service, beach access, and pet-friendly options; some guests noted the hilly site (cart available) and limited/tight parking.

Generally good experience but a few guests felt the price could be improved or that value was mixed given occasional service/parking issues.

Breakfast buffet and many dishes received praise and the restaurant offers a good wine selection; some noted limited breakfast variety, an underwhelming sirloin, and bar cocktails could improve.

Overall very positive stays reported — beautiful property, wildlife sightings, attentive staff and memorable views — with a few negatives that did not dominate guests' impressions.
