Makanda by the Sea

This place is so beautiful!

Amazing property! The views and grounds were fabulous. The staff even better.

My second time here, and it’s always amazing and magical.

We spent 6 nights at Makanda in the luxury villa which was a fantastic experience. The Villa was stunning and had real wow factor….we’ve stayed in many places around the world but this was definitely the best and oozes pure luxury in every detail. Staff are so friendly and helpful and are very quick to address your needs. Food was lovely and the resort as a whole is beautiful. The wild life and nature just makes it even more exotic as we saw the white face monkeys and beautiful ocean views from our private pool. This was our first time in Costa Rica and we will definitely be back as it’s such a lovely place with lovely people! Thanks to all the Makanda staff for their excellent service and hospitality which was most appreciated! Pura Vida!

Facility and room was beautiful. Good not good

Amazing, unique place! A lot of wild life around and beautiful beach! Definitely we will be back!

Mikanda, has been one of our favorite stays ever in Costa Rica! The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. The grounds are breathtaking, extremely clean, wildlife everywhere and the rooms are so private. We're already planning our return trip!!!!

The property and staff were great. Service is excellent. Food is extremely over priced compared to other 5 star resorts in the area. Food is also not great for 200 per meal. Drinks are also expensive but very good. Wi-Fi was not consistent enough for me to work. Great amenities but not good food. If food is important to you I would look for somewhere else.

The compound is amazing and the staff helpful and friendly. My big disappointment is I booked this property based on a description on their website, advertising it as: "Escape to Serenity: Experience Unmatched Tranquility" (Why Us in their About section on their website). It turns out they have music around the 2 pool areas all day long (with pretty loud music). Our room was located above the pool and we could here the music windows closed. Far from "unmatched tranquility". When I pointed this out they did change our rooms (and upgraded us - thank you) but it ruined my experience. I was not able to lounge at the pool. It's a great place if you are in that constant loungy mood but not the idea I had of a high end eco-friendly boutique hotel is CR.

Very nice
