Shana By the Beach: An Ideal EscapeĀ 

This is why you should stay at this hotel in Manuel Antonio.

Private Beach Access Surrounded by Rainforest

Private Beach Access Surrounded by Rainforest

Shana sits atop the hills of Quepos Point, surrounded by lush vegetation while providing expansive views of the Pacific Ocean. Its peaceful atmosphere and on-site facilities make for a good night’s sleep in an unassuming space with private beach access.

The Manuel Antonio area is the place where the rainforest and beach meet, and Shana showcases this perfectly. It’s nestled in the rocky hills of Quepos point, away from the busy world outside and surrounded by jungle trees and well-kept gardens.

It’s also located 10 minutes away from the Manuel Antonio National Park and a 15-minute drive from Quepos, the most important town in the area.

A Haven of Relaxation & Nature

Shana’s relaxed, casual atmosphere makes relaxation possible. Here, the surrounding views sit front and center. Sit back and admire both the forest and the ocean from the balcony in the room.

Another way to commune with nature is to take a stroll down to the coast. This is the opportunity to enjoy one of the hotel’s best perks: private beach access.

Descend from the top of the hill down a nature trail shaded by jungle trees and tropical flowers. The path is full of opportunities to admire the local wildlife. Keep an eye out for the toucans, sloths, and monkeys that move among the trees.

After the walk down the slope, the forest opens to Biesanz beach. This beach has soft waves and dark, volcanic rocks dotted. Explore the area, splash in the water, or sunbathe in the sand for a soothing experience.

Keeping up with the overall ambiance, the rooms are also designed to be hidden spaces where you can loosen up without excessive clutter in the way. These modernized accommodations are comfortable and spacious, offering views of the surrounding vegetation and ocean.

The rest of the hotel has a laid-back attitude that allows you to enjoy the vacation at your own pace.

The pool is where most guests want to hang out during their stay, as it offers a refreshing lounging area with a deck to sit and sunbathe. In addition, the forest expands beyond the pool’s edge making for a great view during the day and harmony of natural sounds at night.

The poolside bar is conveniently located so that you can keep a supply of your favorite cocktail from the menu at hand. However, make sure not to miss out on their classic margaritas while watching the sun setting on the horizon.

Elements Spa is also available for massages and body treatments. With internationally certified technicians and the best products, this is the place to forget your worries truly. Enjoy the hand-picked essential oils and the local ingredients used in every treatment. Let these aromas and expert hands soothe any soreness in your muscles.
