Makanda by the Sea

Perfect!

Makanda by the Sea is now our favorite hotel experience in all of our travels around the globe. The service is impeccable- 5 star for sure! They told us if we needed anything to ring the reception desk- and they truly meant it. They were one step ahead and anticipated our needs for everything! it's beautifully situated and has the most rich and unique decor and design! The rainforest animals all came out during our stay as they are living in a beautiful location. And the bed was so comfortable that it was hard to get out until I opened my eyes to the majestic view through the large windows overlooking the ocean. The welcome drink was fabulous- the Pipa! The private beach was so cool and the opportunity to rest on comfortable hammock beds under beautiful trees with a view like that was unbelievable. And the pools - awesome designs/ decor- are so fabulous for days or nights. The photos online are not exaggerating- this place is amazing!

Beautiful views, delicious sushi, excellent customer service, clean grounds, modern rooms, and tons of wildlife.

Food was overpriced and not as good for the price. Drinks overpriced as well.

The penthouse suite was spectacular. Private pool, unbelievable view, excellent service.

The location of the hotel is truly stunning with it’s views of ocean. But as other reviewers have said the choice of material on steep walkways to rooms & restaurants, pools & beach is puzzling! Any moisture on them leaves them super slippery regardless of footwear! Yes the golf carts take you around but they don’t take you right to door of your room or for that matter all the way to beach! We managed fine though! Pools lovely. Thought breakfast menu choices were limited ! Loved the monkeys swinging by !

Great Staff and Customer Service. Our room was beautiful!!

Let’s just say that it was paradise !!! from the beginning to the end a beautiful hotel with fantastic staff…

We loved our stay at Makanda by the sea. This is a boutique hotel for adults only. Great service, beautiful property, rooms are large with beautiful views. Loved seeing moneys, birds, etc on the property.Breakfast is included and it is good, but not amazing.

VERY steep hills around the property that are difficult to walk. However, transportation is readily available via golf carts and attendants are very responsive. Room and property was exceptionally clean and presentable. Staff was courteous and responsive before and during the stay.
