"My stay at Makanda in Costa Rica was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Every detail of the resort reflects thoughtful design and a commitment to creating a truly elevated experience. What sets Makanda apart, however, is the level of service. The staff was beyond helpful and genuinely attentive, rivaling what you would expect at some of the finest hotels in the world. Candy and Alfredo went above and beyond in assisting with our private plane arrangements and ensured that every aspect of our stay was seamless and perfectly coordinated within the resort. Alexander, who took care of us in the pool area, made an already incredible experience unforgettable. His attentiveness and care were unmatched, and he truly spoiled us while we enjoyed some of the most magical sunsets I have ever seen. I rarely take the time to write reviews, as I generally expect excellence from the places I choose to stay. However, Makanda exceeded those expectations in every way, and it absolutely deserves recognition. This is a destination I would return to without hesitation."

"Do not hesitate. The property is absolutely outstanding. Well appointed room, amazing bedding, extraordinarily helpful and pleasant staff, amazing views from the room, the restaurant, and the lounge (perfect for sunsets). Toucans, macaws, iguanas inhabit the property as well. Every concern is catered to. The highest possible recommendation!"
