This place truly feels like a slice of paradise! I spent a week at the hotel and felt such a warmth from the staff who were incredibly attentive and eager to assist with even the smallest requests. The beautiful blend of jungle and ocean views from the property created a tranquil atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the dining options, though the private beach could be considered a bit small. Overall, it provided a great value for an unforgettable experience.

However, I did encounter some significant issues with room cleanliness and maintenance that truly marred my visit.

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!
