I had a wonderful experience at Shana By The Beach, enjoying the beautiful views and cleanliness of the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. However, the steep trek to the beach might not be ideal for everyone, particularly those with mobility issues. The food had some mixed reviews in terms of flavor, and at times, it felt a bit overpriced compared to local restaurants. Overall, it's a great spot if you don't mind a little trek and are ready to indulge in nature!
