Very glad we chose Shana!

The property is small and charming; all the staff is so hospitable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The beach is small and can be crowded but it is beautiful and the walk down to the beach is a nice fantastic jungle hike . We had monkeys on our veranda daily. The pool temp was perfect. The food is great. The breakfast buffet is more than substantial. The only disappointment is the spa only had one worker and no availability though signs up everywhere advertising it. Felt silly and useless. We would most definitely stay here again!
Monkeys on the Lanai next to our room.

This resort is beautiful!! All the staff members were very professional and very respectful! My fiancé and I had a great time! The beach is a little difficult to get to and the walks are a little steep, but it is definitely worth it as they have Kevin that drives you back-and-forth. Gracias Kevin por ser muy amable y una buena experiencia. Te vemos para la próxima vez.!
