The best part of our time in Costa Rica
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.

Beautiful resort, wonderful staff!
The property, the views, and our room were beautiful. The staff were incredible, professional, and friendly - Irina, Elias, and team were the best. The restaurant was good, but has a limited menu and is a little pricey. The breakfasts, fruits, juices, and coffee were amazing.
