Wow, wow, wow! That was everything I expected and more! We stayed in the luxury Penhouse, Suite 19. The room is beautiful, large, and the bathroom is also large. The living room and bathroom have doors that lead to the huge balcony. Every evening, from the balcony, we enjoyed a perfect sunset view. We enjoyed our friendly visitors each day: small monkeys, an iguana, humming birds, butterflies, and red/blue birds. Despite being surrounded by the forest, no bugs or insects disturbed us. We were able to leave the doors open for hours. The monkeys would walk by a few occasions, but never entered lol. Cool experience.
The most impressive feature for me is the WhatsApp communication service. Anything you need, weather it be pillows at 11pm, a taxi ride to and from the hotel or anywhere, room food service, etc, it's only one text away, and the response time is literally only seconds!
The main pool / restaurant area is extremely beautiful. The staff is friendly and professional. We had planned to do so many adventurous things such as zip lining, jet skiing, visiting waterfalls, etc, but we didn't do any of those things because we enjoyed just staying in our large room and relaxing on the balcony and swimming in the private pool attached the balcony.
Thank you, Hotel Makana, for an unforgettable experience.

Good place. Stunning views, friendly staff, luxury room interiors and exteriors.
However, the expectations for a 5 star resort are high.
For example, when a particular dish is missing on the high-end restaurant menu, you'd expect a waiter to share that in advance. Then 2 days later, 2 dishes are missing...
The beach is at the bottom of a steep hill. There are gulf carts which take down and up. However, the service stops at 4 p.m. ??? Why not at least 6 or later?

What an amazing place to stay. Two pools, excellent quick and friendly service. I would put Makanda up against any other stay in Costa Rica. Absolutely beautiful in every way and an attention to detail that is hard to find anywhere to the level that Makanda delivers.

Our stay at Makanda by the Sea was amazing. The staff there goes above and beyond to give you a great experience and the views are amazing. Tons of wildlife around the hotel to view and the food was good as well. Would definitely go back. If Eli is working the bar he has all the information for what’s around.

We stayed in the sky penthouse and it was a very beautiful room. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Overall we rated it a 3 because the walkways and private pool were super slippery and hard to walk around. Luckily they had people in golf carts who helped get around the property. The food was average and the pools were a little too cold. Overall we loved our room but the property wasn’t as amazing as we had hoped for.
