- We recently spent a couple of weeks driving across Costa Rica and of all the places we stayed, the Shana by the Beach in Manuel Antonio was #1 on our list of favorites!
In this video, we’ll take you on a walk through the property and show you what YOU can expect if you decide to book a stay here. LET’S GO!!!

Looks great.
Thanks man!
Just stayed in Costa Rica from the 9th-17th. It was really enjoyable. Staff was kind, gym up the hill is free if you’re staying at Shana. Great 10/10 experience.
I was wondering about the gym. I didn’t get to make it up there. That would’ve been a great addition to the video. Did the gym just have machines, or free weights as well?
I liked all of your Costa Rica videos. You do a good job of pronouncing Spanish. Many CZcamsrs don’t even try.
Thank you so much! I’m glad someone said that. I’m working on one now and I’m thinking about leaving out the word Puntarenas because I don’t like the way I say it 😂
Are you from Costa Rica?
@@familyvacay_dfw I am also from the US. We have a modest vacation home in Costa Rica and try to get down there every year.
@@leejeffries9796 that’s amazing! We’ve always dreamed of owning property in places we like to travel to. What part of the country do you own property?
@@familyvacay_dfw It is in the south near San Vito. It is at about 4000 ft, in farm country. You can go several days without seeing another gringo.
@@leejeffries9796 so that’s right there by Panama then? We were talking to someone down there that said there’s quite a few hoops to jump through for people from the states wanting to buy property. Is there any truth to that?
Hey thanks for the upload! I'm going to visit Shana Hotel later this year with my family. Is there any local bars within walking distance of the hotel, and how far is the walk to Espadilla Beach from the Hotel? Thanks Again!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching!
We didn’t venture much off the property other than walking down to Playa Biesanz, which is the little beach in the video, and then we went to the National Park, which is about a 10 minute drive from the Shana.
After searching online, it looks like there might be a few restaurants/bars within walking distance, but most places will be at least a mile or 2 away. I’d call that driving distance with all the hills being as steep as they are 😂
It looks like Espadilla Beach is about a 20 minute walk from the Shana. We only went to Playa Espadilla Sur, which is a little section of Espadilla Beach that you’ll reach after walking through the National Park.
Are y’all planning on visiting the National Park?
quick question - did you feel safe on that beach? I know it can also be accessed by a road to the left and is technically open to the public so I'm wondering if it felt too remote? I've seen photos of it actually quite crowded so idk?
We went down there twice and it felt perfectly safe to us. We only saw 1 other family down there both times, but we were there during the week, so it might be a little more crowded on the weekend. Not sure about that.
As far as feeling remote… that’s kind of what was cool about it to us. The walk through the rainforest to get down there was beautiful and is something that we’re not used to, and it was far enough away from everything to feel a little secluded, but not so far that we were out in the middle of nowhere.
We were there during the rainy season too, so that could’ve also played a role in the beach not being crowded. When are you planning to go?
that answers my question perfectly. I love secluded beaches but not what I would consider isolated. this one sounds perfect and the fact that its a maintained path is great for the kiddos. We're going in November so I believe the rainy season as well. thanks so much! @@familyvacay_dfw
@@taragatorade absolutely! Glad I can help. Thanks so much for subscribing!
How long did it take there to get from the airport? Are there shuttles by chance? Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for watching!
Manuel Antonio is a little over 100 miles from San Jose and it looks like there’s plenty of options for shuttles online. The shared busses look like they cost a little less and private shuttles look like a little more. We rented a car, so we didn’t have any experience with public transportation, but there’s plenty of options available.
🍕🍕🍕
You know how much I love 🍕🤤
Yo I’m staying up the room to the right side of what you stayed at rn lol
😂 Nice!! How are you liking it?
@@familyvacay_dfw I saw in your username you also from dfw I’m from Allen haha and it’s nice but the management is bad the chicken in the burger wasn’t cooked so we didn’t have it and we ate the fries and they didn’t charge us for the burger they charged us just for the fries they are very cheap…. Maybe a different experience for us.
@@familyvacay_dfw it’s our second day in this area we were at arenal before
@@familyvacay_dfw we went down to the beach it’s nice
@@familyvacay_dfw we also went to the park it was nice lots of white faced monkeys it was very good
