Makanas felt so homey and warm. Tyler and Mary were great hosts and helped us with anything we needed. The bungalows are so beautiful and clean. The beach is breath taking, private, and we got to watch sunsets every night. I do suggest renting an ATV to help you get around town.

Great Spot

A diamond in the rough. I love a non chain where the owners show up to meet you and let you know the lay of the land. Clean updated rooms, great location, close to the the beach, fast wifi and great coffee.

Macanas is an excellent choice if you want to stay at the beach (without breaking your bank) yet within walking/driving distance from the hustle of the town. Property is gorgeous, small and private, and located in the jungle so you get to see and experience all the wildlife. Property owners are amazing and very accommodating, we could not wish for better attention, communication and hospitality they provide. We are very grateful for having found this place.

The bungalows are on the outskirts of Santa Teresa, which was good. Santa Teresa extremely busy, lots of surfers. Beach was beautiful but not really swimmable due to rip current. Not a lot of close by restaurants to chose from

My wife and I stayed at Makanas for 10 nights on May 2024. We definitely enjoyed our stay. The studio is nice ans has everything for the stay. The staff (Vane and Leysi are the best) was awesome and prepared the best waffles and gallo pinto ever for breakfast! I would HIGHLY recomend that if you did not rent a 4 wheeler or a car, find somewhere else to stay because Makanas is very far as a walking distance from either bars/restaurants/supermarkets, and taxis are extremely expensive

Really nice and modern room, wery clean. Close to the beach, 100 meter/ yards. WiFi worked maybe 5 hours of 2 days, unpossible to reach staff by telephone/ WhatsApp since the WiFi didn’t work. Cleaning staff couldn’t speak one word English. The road from Santa Teresa to the Lodge is really bad, and you need 4x4 car to park at the Bungalows.

We stayed with a young toddler during a rainy season, in the middle of a tropical storm, and even though mosquitoes, heavy rain and the rest of the jungle life was a bit more aggressive than during dry season, we enjoyed our stay. Property is beautiful and you get to experience jungle like to it's fullest. One of the best beaches with amazing tide pools in ST is 2 min walking . Property owners are very accommodating, warm and attentive. We appreciated all the attention and kindness they showed to us. We'll be back.

The bungalows are a hidden gem- newly restored and beautifully appointed, spacious for 2 people, away from the overcrowded tourist places, yet basically at the beach (short jungle walk away). Tyler, our host, was always there, super nice and super helpful. You need to have a 4WD to get there (steep driveway, about 2 miles from Santa Teresa downtown, rough roads). Its 5 min drive to the supermarket, 5 minute drive in the other direction to the Hermosa Beach (probably the best spot for surfing classes). Two nearby restaurants were closed (rain season), but its super close to multiple other food options (restaurant at the banana beach was probably our favorite). Highly recommended!

This place is great as long as you really read the reviews and set expectations. Very clean room, great pillows, comfy bed and good showers! This totally worked for us because we had a car and could easily go eat and get around town. If you’re there in the dry season the roads out front are dirt and dust kicks up everywhere so walking isn’t ideal. Plus it’s a hike to town - solid 20 min walk. The offer of breakfast needs to be prearranged I think. Santa Teresa is such an amazing destination we were never planning on hanging out at the hotel but if you are, this might not work for you. So worth it for us. The owners were so responsive and helpful. Pure pleasure! Pura Vida.

Nice place. Had a jungle trail down to the beach. Quaint complex. Nice set up and grounds were beautiful. Property manager was not onsite, but was very quick to answer any questions via whatsapp. A few drawbacks - lack of outlets, water pressure was terrible (but good hot water), very steep driveway (luckily my spouse is a confident driver), no microwave. But the biggest drawback was the noise from the street. The town has really rough roads (lots of potholes), so people ride ATV's and motorcycles, which are very loud. There were also lots of trucks on the road. We stayed in Bungalow #6, which is right next to the street. The traffic started at 5am and lasted all day and into the evening. Not what I expected to hear in Costa Rica. Was very disappointing.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay so very much. The short walk to the beach through plumeria trees was magical. We would bring our coffee to the beach and go visit the monkeys to the right end near the point. The property is outside of town, but still close to a ton of really great restaurants, which was a bonus So many great beaches and the staff was amazing So grateful we booked this place So peaceful and so adorable

Cool place but was woken up by the rain which sounded like metal grinding because of the type of roof and lack of insulation. Not sure I would stay again but overall was a good experience and would recommend if not bothered by super loud rain.

The bungalows are very peaceful, clean and cozy and the location was absolutely perfect! We loved every minute of our stay there and have already recommended Makanas to our friends and family. Tyler was an excellent host and provided us with great recommendations about what to do in town: where to go, what to see, what to eat and how to get around and make the best of our trip. He was incredibly hospitable, attentive to us and made our stay wonderful. Lacie makes a great breakfast, as well! Highly recommended.

I loved the king bed bungalow.The breakfast was a lovely start of my day. Two coures presented perfectly, a taste sensation. So much food, no need for lunch! Gulia and Simon truly care about your experience here and were very helpful arranging transport for me, as I only know a handful of spanish. Great dinner options a short walk away too but away from the busyness of town. Definitely coming back!
