Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Shana By The Beach Manuel Antonio offers a memorable experience, with many guests enjoying the convenience of a short walk to Biesanz beach via a jungle trail and the proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park. The spacious rooms often feature balconies with beautiful jungle or ocean views, sometimes even visited by monkeys, which many guests found delightful; however, some have noted the rooms could use some refreshing. The diverse breakfast options are widely appreciated, and the on-site pizza oven is a definite highlight for many, with some ordering pizza almost every day.

Jungle and Beach Access

various birdswhite-faced monkeyssecluded beachbeautiful walk
I found many birds including toucans and macaws near the hotel. White-faced monkeys approached the pouch, it made for fun moments. A trail led to a secluded beach. Two sloths were seen along this beautiful walk.
The walkway has a slope. Grandma needed carts, as her knees weren't good.
