Small resort. Employees were ALL extremely nice & helpful! The beach access is not convenient! The rooms could use updating; furniture, lighting, & bathroom. "No toilet paper" in the toilet took some getting used to!

Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Pool- not large but lovely and rarely crowded
