마카니 럭셔리 카르타헤나

Loved it! Truly a paradise! Great food, private beach, beautiful hotel, great staff. The only suggestion I have is: the shop is over priced (100% more than original prices)

2 jours en fin de voyage en Colombie. Joli hotel, mais si on veut vraiment faire du balnéaire, je pense qu’il vaut mieux aller sur les îles San Andres

We stayed there last minute and the staff was kind and accommodating

Todo estuvo prerfecto en la estancia , limpio bonito y el personal muy amable. La comida deliciosa y llenador. Solo el telefono no sirvio no podiamos pedir a la habitacion y no lo pudieron arreglar xq si fueron. El transporte de ida en la lancha era personal nuevo que estaba aprendiendo y casi nos volteamos varias veces, iba muy rapido y todavia no sabia agarrar las olas bien. En la lancha de regreso no tuvimos ningun percance.

Perfecto:-)

Nice resort - we enjoyed our time at the pool and spa!

Este hotel en una isla es el lugar perfecto para desconectar de la ciudad y disfrutar de la tranquilidad frente al mar. Aunque durante el día la música suena fuerte en algunas áreas, hay lugares más tranquilos para relajarse. El servicio es excelente y, aunque las opciones gastronómicas son limitadas, la comida es de buena calidad. Las áreas públicas son lindas y acogedoras, ideales para pasar el tiempo, y las cabañas son amplias, limpias, bien equipadas y cuentan con una terraza privada muy agradable. Un excelente destino para disfrutar con amigos o pareja, aunque no es muy adecuado para familias.

Such a beautiful experience! We loved every moment of it and it was an amazing aesthetic; it was so much relaxation and the food was great.

Hotel is nice, clean and safe, they would benefit from a gym and getting wifi to work on the roof of the premium rooms (where the jacuzzi and outdoor areas are). Unfortunately dining, customer service & management is lacking. Every single day the hotel ran out of food and drinks. The staff did nothing to resolve issues, rather just walked away quickly, made excuses or stood there saying nothing. During our stay the hotel ran out of STILL WATER, Coke Zero, pizza bases, ham, beef, deserts, other ingredients in cocktails on their menu. These problems happened EVERY day and eventually we met with the quality service manager, who did give us a free dinner, which was appreciated, however he just made more excuses rather than solving issues. Apparently it is the “hotel’s” fault, not any individual… One day we ordered our own food and drink from Cartagena for delivery, which proves getting supplies isn’t that hard, but nobody at the hotel was able to make this happen. Boats run every hour from Cartagena and staff on both sides? We ordered a drink off their menu only for staff to come back 20 minutes later and say they don’t have all the ingredients, then walk away without offering an alternative. We would come back if they got fixed these issues, but with an experience like this, if these issues aren’t resolved, we’d prefer to go back to Punta Faro on Mucura instead of come back here. Facility is luxury but service is far from it. Fix the problems and we would return.

Zona exclusiva y tranquila

The Makani was amazing. My family and I can’t wait to come back. It’s really close to Cartagena and they were great helping us arrange the time to take the boat to Tierra Bomba!

You have to stay here ! What a wonderful place , staff is amazing , property is beautiful , you will have an a amazing experience here , can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Cartagena

El lugar es romantico y perfecto!, ideal para ir en pareja. El servicio es excelente!!!

Beautiful hotel and location. Most impressed with the service. Super friendly and helpful staff.

food and entertainment

Makani is beautiful. When booking, please be mindful that this resort is not located on the mainland, but on an island. Cartagena is 20 minutes away by speedboat. The boat ride to the island was an adventure. If you are looking to party and be up all night wandering the city, then do not book here! This is a great place for quiet, reflection, and relaxing. Upon arrival, We were greeted to a nice cool drink and staff that were friendly. If you do not speak the language, Google translator is a must! The room was beautiful. However, the showers are hot or cold, never warm. I enjoyed the private jacuzzi. It felt like sitting in my own oasis. One downfall is the cost of food and drinks. 1 bottle of water is over $2 usd if you add in the tip and service tax. French fries is about $7. We ordered 2 Tequilla sunrise and was charged for separate ingredients… orange juice! Tequilla… until a discussion was had.. so be sure to look before signing the receipt. Overall this was a great experience. I would recommend staying here. I give this place 4.5 stars!

Condiciones e aseo de la piscina l final del dia no eran las mejores, sitio muy lindo , construccion espectacular

Great place to stay in Cartagena. Very upscale and special with your family and loved ones

Staff was very helpful on our way there and back, however whilst we were on the resort, especially those by the pool were slightly absent minded. Having said that, it’s been a great experience with tastefully designed interior in the room / villa and I’d go again for a quiet relaxing retreat.

Overall, it’s a beautiful property. Within a couple hours of arriving, we were already considering extending our stay… that is, until we took a shower. One min of scalding water followed by 5 mins of cold, rinse and repeat (no pun intended). Maintenance just said that’s the way it is. On the plus side, Alejandro (a manager I believe) was very proactive in offering to compensate us by offering us spa treatments. Overall we enjoyed our stay- and had the shower worked properly, we would have really enjoyed it. It’s just if you’re paying $450+ a night for a room, a shower works properly is a must.
