This property is NOT worthy of a 4-star category. I had booked a Oceanview room with a king bed for a 2 night stay. There were several issues.Toilet would not flush unless you press & hold the knob all the way until it completed the flush cycle. Calling repair service didn't help. Bathroom sink faucet was actually a very old style single handle with a long spout more like a kitchen sink faucet. Bathroom sink had no sink stopper or strainer with ugly sinkhole fully visible. Old wooden furniture with sticky wooden top surface everywhere in the room. All the old furniture, bathroom & shower fixtures desperately needs upgrading for aesthetic and appealing look & feel. Breakfast choices in the restaurant were very mediocre with very little options for vegetarians. For me this was more like a 2.5 star hotel and doesn't deserve 4-star classification.

Gem on the Pacific side!
Even though we had a problem getting the TV to work properly and the AC froze up, they immediately and pleasantly fixed the issues with little to know problems. The staff was super helpful and kind in their service. The view, pool, and pool area are stunning and relaxing.

Shana By the Beach is Beautiful and surrounded by the incredible natural area. The staff is pleasant and attentive and available to assist with any needs, even golf carts to help manage in the steep terrain. Steps descend from the hotel to Biesanz Beach, which was very convenient, but also a lovely surprise. A monkey crossed our path one morning- delightful!
Breakfast is delicious and the full Costa Rican fare plus more, with spectacular views. The pools are beautiful, will try to spend some time there next time!

The rooms were spacious, clean and had a true jungle view. Every staff member we encountered was great from front desk, drivers, activity coordinator, waiters, cleaning and masseuse. Easy access to the beach.
If you have mobility problems getting to beach might be difficult.

The hotel is beautiful and the room was amazing. We had a room with a private pool that our kids absolutely loved. The staff was unbelievably kind and helpful. The only "complaint" we can think of is that the beds were hard.

The views were beautiful and the property well maintained. The only tweaks I’d make is the drains get very smelly in the rooms so might want to regularly clean those.

My stay was wonderful! My room was very spacious, and the bathroom was huge. I made a great decision staying at this hotel. I had an enormous spider on my bathroom cathedral ceiling, and someone was there to remove it within 5 minutes. Customer service was amazing, shoutout to Kevin and Fiona at the front desk. Food was ok, can’t rave over that. Lol. There is no gym, but if you walk that steep hill a few times a day you’ll be good. The walking path to the beach was longer than expected, but nice.
WILL DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN.

Staff here go above and beyond to help you. The property is built on a cliff and isn’t easily walkable but they offered golf cart service to make our trip enjoyable. We could not get to the beach as the walk was too steep. Driving to the resort was scary and it was difficult to park at the resort. But the view and the room were great. We had monkeys on our balcony looking for food.

This was one of the stops from our itinerary and Shana by the Beach provides that Pura Vida experience package all in one area. We arrived at Quepos super early around 9AM due to dropping off a friend for an early flight home just prior. We knew check-in was at 3pm but there was lots to do in the area anyway until ready time. We did ask if early check-in was possible and we weren't giving our hopes up, but Elvis Artavia from the front desk team went Above and Beyond to accommodate us and checked us in at 11AM! Our room was very clean, the A/C comfortably set and had the greatest ocean view from our balcony. Monkeys and toucans! Yes! -just from our balcony. Staffing all throughout was awesome. Friendliness goes both ways and long. This indeed did add for a more pleasant stay and experience. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Shana by the Beach...
