AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio delivers striking ocean-and-jungle views, abundant wildlife sightings, and generally friendly, attentive staff, but its steep hillside setting and beach access via a hilly trail won’t suit all travelers.

Clean and spacious room, beds were a little hard and the AC took a little while to kick in. But overall the staff were great and friendly and very helpful. Beach access is a little hard but worth the walk for a private beach access.

We loved this place! Very charming and beautiful, highly recommend for families but not necessarily for couples or friends. Only things missing from the hotel: a gym and a bit more of a daytime vibe/activities (Yoga, workout classes, etc) and maybe some entertainment. The venue closed down very early every night, so perfect for those looking for a quieter experience. Although the location is incredible and full in nature: we had monkeys visit us everyday! :)

Room was spacious with beautiful ocean view, just like the picture in the ads. The monkeys coming up to our patio was an unexpected extra. Golf cart driver was always around to offer trips up the STEEP hills from beach access, restaurant, and pools to guest rooms, though we preferred getting the workout. Pools were glorious. Beach pretty nice, though I'd recommend the better beaches inside park or outside park entrance. Staff went out of their way to get us a national park tour after an initial miscommunication canceled our reservation. Staff were wonderful all around. My only complaint is that the area around the hotel was not walkable and it was difficult to get to the nearby restaurants and music clubs without a taxi.
