Restaurant staff was excellent. Hallways were dark and we had to use our phone lights to see at night. Appreciate golf cart service to get up/down the steep walk to the restaurant and pool. Construction noise outside our building started early.

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 The faucet was loose and wobbly, the room had a dense, unpleasant smell, and the overall condition felt outdated and poorly maintained.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.

The staff were very friendly, great breakfast buffet with Javier, Edgar, Elieth, and Allan the cook. Great omelettes and fresh fruit. The happy hour was fun with Andre and Daniel. The rooms were spacious, and the pool and hot tub were fabulous. The walk to the beach could be treacherous for some people, all downhill then all uphill. The white faced monkeys like to steal sugar and food so be cautious!

I liked this property, the staff is friendly, except the ladie that works making eggs in the breakfast, she wasn't was friendly anytime, didn't smile and she looks like sad, the rest of the staff so friendly and polite. The second day we have an issue in the room with the water heating, apararently wasn't working properly, but they gave us an room upgrade, we didn't have any issue with the new room, the breakfast is great, the property is well maintained, they are doing some upgrade to some part of the hotel, resuming my stay was great, definitely come back to this hotel in the future. Thank you for your excellent attention and make great our vacations Me gustó esta propiedad. El personal es amable, excepto la señora que prepara los huevos para el desayuno, quien no fue amable en ningún momento, no sonrió y parecía triste. El resto del personal fue muy amable y educado. El segundo día tuvimos un problema con el calentador de agua en la habitación; aparentemente no funcionaba bien, pero nos dieron una habitación de categoría superior. No tuvimos ningún problema con la nueva habitación. El desayuno es excelente, la propiedad está bien mantenida y están realizando mejoras en algunas partes del hotel. Mi estancia fue excelente; definitivamente volveré a este hotel en el futuro. Gracias por su excelente atención y por hacer de nuestras vacaciones unas vacaciones inolvidables.

The manager and some of the staff were friendly, which we appreciated during our stay. We paid for the spa, lunch, and dinner package for our 5-day visit, and overall enjoyed the amenities. On our last day, we decided to purchase a few drinks offsite to enjoy by the pool. However, a waiter approached us rather rudely, stating that he would “let us finish our last drink” but would not tolerate outside beverages at the pool. While we understand the policy, the way it was addressed felt unnecessary and left a poor impression on our final day. I do not think we will stay there again.

The hotel overall was great. We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were a little old & plain. We did observe portions of the hotel closed for refurbishing. The breakfast & dinner were excellent. Including entertainment from the monkeys. The staff was wonderful especially Kevin the cart driver. He always seemed to be present when needed.
