The public area gets rather crowded at times, especially the pool. The Hotel is a tag overrated I believe. The room is decent but the facilities are lacking. Would be nice to have more choices of food choices and such.

From the moment we arrived at Makanda we were greeted with open arms. Everyone was so welcoming and willing to help us navigate our trip since it was our first time in Costa Rica. The room was Amazing and I mean AMAZING (we stayed in the WOW Suite). They thought of every detail to make your stay the most luxurious as possible. Food… the food was hands down delicious! The second night we ventured out because we wanted to try a restaurant at the marina… big mistake…it was gross and we spent $200 and took like 3 bites (that never happens we love to eat)! Highlight of our trip was that we got to meet the owners and hang out with them!! Super welcoming and generous couple!! I did a body scrub at the spa (which I’ve been to many spas not outside of the US) and it was the best treatment I have ever received!! Thank you to Andres, Roger, Byron, Judith, Louise, Milton and all the rest (I apologize if I left your name out). You were all Wonderful!! If you have been this resort…just book it…you won’t be disappointed!!

This is no doubt the BEST hotel in Manuel Antonio and one of the Best in the Country, with top-notch quality in every single detail and friendly customer service. Fast check-in, valet parking, gorgeous room with breathtaking view, amazing food. Eco friendly, blends in with nature, and has private access to a small charming beach. A DREAMY GET AWAY.

We stayed at Makanda by the Sea for our 30th anniversary. The resort exceeded all our expectations. The property is as beautiful in person as in the photos. The staff went out of their way to insure we had a great stay. We were even upgraded to a better room for our anniversary. If you’re looking for a place to relax and feel pampered while enjoying the gorgeous rainforest, this is your place. We loved our time here.

Un hotel realmente paradisíaco, con unas instalaciones de lujo y una atención de primera. La vista al mar, la selva, los servicio del hotel y la onda de Costa Rica hicieron que tuviéramos una gran experiencia. Las habitaciones, su decoración diseño y comodidad son increíbles

This was my second trip to the property after visiting with a friend the previous year. While all the rooms have great design and personality, I requested the same room - a Wow Suite. It's a hike to get to, so if you don't like stairs, select a different room, but I enjoy the open design floorpan and infinity bathtub - great for use on the occasional rainy day. The staff is very accommodating and friendly and do whatever they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Though there is only one lunch/dinner menu to select your meals from, there are many options and all of the food is very good and has its own flair, so you won't get bored. My only suggestion would be to have some lighter and smaller fare available to have by the pool during the day. The waitstaff is very eager to help, recommend their favorite drinks, and point out the numerous sloths lazing about in the trees. Plus, they even had the kitchen make a birthday cake for a friend. I stayed for 8 nights and never left the property, though there is plenty to do in the area. I had just been to the region before and had done all of the touristy things you'd do previously and just wanted to relax by the pool, which I very much enjoyed doing every day. There is also a small, but very well-appointed spa on the property where I enjoyed three deep-tissue massages. I've received many massages in my life and it is hard to impress me, particularly at a hotel spa, but Milton did just that. I highly recommend him.

Cuando vimos las fotos del hotel y decidimos que ese era el lugar para ir de vacaciones, la verdad que es mucho mas que las fotos, esto generalmente no ocurre, pero créanme, este hotel es espectacular. Es un paraíso en la tierra. Recomendado 100%

A wonderfull place located in the mountain with a beach a few minutes ago. The service from the first moment is perfect also so kind with the people. Is like being living in the jungle, you can see a lot of animals from your room. The views are amazing and the architecture is from another world. The best hotel in Costa Rica, you have to go, trust me.
