Makanda by the Sea Hotel Adults Only

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.

My husband and I came to Makanda for our honeymoon and absolutely loved our time. The resort was beautiful at every turn and very well kept. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff was very accommodating to help plan out our stay and make sure all of our needs/transportation/and excursion requests were met. The room was cleaned every day at a time of our convenience and we always felt safe leaving our belongings on the resort. Not to mention the food was delicious! We also saw a lot of wild life while on the resort (sloth, monkeys, lizards, macaws, etc.) We hope to come back in the future!

The treatment of the work team together with facilities from another planet make your stay in Makanda incredible. Everyone should experience it once in their life! Every place in the hotel has amazing details. And it allows you to see animals as if you were in a national park!

This is the best experience we have ever had at a resort. The views were exquisite and the food was amazing. Our room was beautiful. My wife noted that this was the first trip she had ever come home from that she hadn’t missed her own bed. Great job!!

Beautiful property. Food was beyond excellent. Service was impeccable, especially Bayron — who went above and beyond to be helpful. Makanda exceeded my already high expectations. Thank you Bayron and staff for making the experience so awesome.

This hotel represents true luxury. I've never been so amazed by a resort experience. The food is outstanding, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is incredibly attentive, and the views are stunning—an absolute top-notch experience! Check-in at La Makanda was smooth and informative, located on the mountainside, offering a clean and beautiful reception area. We were welcomed with a complimentary drink, which we could enjoy immediately or save for the next day. The staff provided us with extensive information and personally escorted us to our room. The room and its view were absolutely spectacular! The room had a Bose speaker which we enjoyed our entire trip, Britt espresso machine, and a fully stocked mini-bar. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and the white stone rock and wood plank floors around the area were very beautiful. We had two porches: one at the rear of the room which looked out to lush plants and trees and a larger one overlooking more lush trees, plants, and the Pacific Ocean. We sat there every day and listened to the howler monkeys and birds chirping. The dining experience was superb with five-star quality food. Even my picky-eater husband loved every meal, thanks to the attentive staff who catered to our every need. I can't praise La Makanda enough. I even got emotional when we checked out, it was such an incredible stay. While we typically don't revisit hotels, we are already planning to return here without hesitation. I highly recommend La Makanda for an unforgettable stay!
