Book a hotel near Manuel Antonio, Quepos

"We took two tours arranged by the resort: Manuel Antonio national guided walking tour and mysteries of the night (within the property). On the first, we saw three types of monkeys (white faced, howler and squirrel), sloths, and some birds. It was very hot the day we went, and we were very tired; though the tour was good, not that impressed given that this park was considered the best in the country. The night tour was much more impressive with so many frogs and toads with their unique sound apart from some nonvenomous snakes. It was worth our time and money. We found more sloths, toucans, and birds within the property than in the national park. The resort had a host of swimming pools, great breakfast and a variety of restaurants. The nearby beach town of Manuel Antonio was very small and the shuttle timings were not that convenient. The beach was just OK. The staff at the resort were all very friendly and they introduced us to the theme of Costa Rica, “Pure Vida” and lived up to it. The room was well lit and the service excellent. I would recommend the resort but it may be a little pricey. "

"Beautiful hotel and pool area- Great views - wonderful staff My stay was everything I wanted "

"The staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. Leo, in particular, went above and beyond."

"Shana by the beach is an amazing boutique resort. Immersed in the rain forest with amazing views including the ocean. We were on a ladies trip and it was perfect. The staff are so welcoming and they love their job, literally as their shirts say it too. Ironically I didn't notice until my girlfriend called it out but genuinely they are so nice. We had the most amazing fried snapper and were so relaxed after hanging poolside, we ordered in one night in the evening. We also did the Cataraman sunset tour which I highly recommend. The drive to get to Shana is worth it but be prepared as it is a hike and once you are there, you have trails to the beach which is part of the rain forest and be on guard as the white belly monkeys will visit. I plan to go back with my family. "
