Lovely room, cleaned thoroughly daily. The walk to and from the beach was a highlight. The restaurant was mediocre at best and it is an incredibly difficult walk uphill to get to other restaurants or stores. We had a full kitchen but could not buy water or other food while we were on the property. A shuttle service into town OR a small hotel shop selling food basics would have made this a perfect perfect stay. Beautiful and secluded with amazing beach. Ultimately, this is what really matters !

We really enjoyed the private trail from the hotel to the beach. There are local people providing rental services such as lounge chairs and kayaks at the beach as well as beverages for sale. The beach is in a protected cove and wonderful to swim in. The view from the restaurant and pool area is lovely, overlooking the tree canopy and the water. Staff were great - Elvis at check in, Kevin in the golf cart, Byron at the pool and more. The hotel manager visited with us to insure we were enjoying ourselves and did not have any issues.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. The views are great, and so is the beach. Parking is a challenge. Did not like the restaurant, so taking 1 star off.

I would give this resort much better reviews, however, there is a horrible sewer smell present the majority of the time in the adult pool/family pool area, that occasionally blows into the restaurant /bar area.. it gets worse depending on the direction of the wind. It’s very unfortunate because the views, cleanliness, and service at Shana is fantastic! They also have a private beach with great families that provide services such as stand up paddle boarding, beach chairs, and umbrellas for reasonable prices.

We took Royal jungle view room with private pool(room no. 227). However, the room did not had any balcony(how would I have a view without balcony?). 227 is below the restaurant and you will hear disturbance from upstairs(kitchen stuff) through out the night(atleast starting from 2 am). Moreover, Expedia charged us $250 over the normal price charged by other websites and hotel(I was able to verify this from the hotel staff). Overall, terrible experience with Expedia and the hotel.
