My stay at Hotel Makanda was absolutely incredible! Nestled in the rainforest and overlooking the Pacific, the hotel offered breathtaking views and a unique connection with nature. The rooms were amazing, spacious, and beautifully designed. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcomed, but the paths can be a bit slippery when wet, and improvements could be made to enhance accessibility for those with mobility issues. Overall, this hotel combines luxury with serene natural beauty, making it a fantastic getaway.

Our stay at Makanda by the Sea was truly memorable. The staff was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about sharing the wildlife around the resort. The private beach and pool area made it feel exclusive, though our room's proximity to the monkeys was a bit noisy at times. The food was outstanding with generous portions. While the social atmosphere at dinner was lively, the noise level made conversation a challenge. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would love to repeat!

The villa we stayed in was beautifully designed with a spacious layout, a large wood deck overlooking the ocean, and a private jacuzzi - perfect for enjoying the sunset. It felt luxurious and secluded, although the sounds of monkeys jumping on the roof early in the morning can be a bit disruptive.
