"Beautiful location with friendly staff"

"The hotel upgraded us to the master suite and it was absolutely beautiful. The best hotel suite I have ever had. Also, the staff is very friendly at the hotel and the resort is beautiful, with plenty of activities. You can also see impressive wildlife right at the resort, including sloths and monkeys."

"Makanda by the Sea is exceptional—pure luxury in paradise. The staff makes every moment magical, and I’m deeply grateful for their warmth and care. Jorge is an outstanding Spanish teacher, patiently guiding me with enthusiasm. Jessica, though new, excels and shines brightly. Alfredo at the front desk is the most helpful person alive—always going above and beyond. Andrew and Joe greet you with genuine smiles that instantly lift your spirits. Alexander bounces around with endless energy and a big “pura vida” smile, handling everything swiftly. Branden takes incredible care of our room, keeping it perfect. Elias at the pool bar is as friendly as can be. Roger, looking like a movie star, pops up everywhere with his infectious smile. Bayran provides excellent driving service. Johnathan and Samuel zip us around effortlessly from beach to pool and beyond. Thank you all—the heart of Makanda. Pura vida!"

"This hotel was a dream! The minute we stepped onto the beach it was paradise. Our room was beautiful and had an amazing view of the ocean. It was a bit of a hike (stairs) but worth it. It was a few minutes walk to the beach where there was good music, monkeys everywhere in the trees, and the staff is so accommodating, making sure we had beach chairs and anything we needed. 2 for one happy hour was great too! Surf and body board rentals right there, parasailing and jet ski rentals just up the beach, you can even get fresh ceviche and massages from local vendors. Easy to spend the whole day there and not need to go anywhere. The front desk was also wonderful and friendly and responsive to our needs. After spending 4 days in la Fortuna in the rain and not seeing much wildlife (even after paying for tours), arriving to Playa Espadilla was the hi-light of the trip! The sunsets from the beach were spectacular and you can go sit out at the beach at night, it's so relaxing. El Avion and Agua Azul were great for dinner and watching the sunset. We even saw monkeys from the rooftops there. If you plan on visiting Manuel Antonio, you can literally walk there from the beach. 100% recommend staying here! "

"What an amazing vacation we had. After 5 days most of the staff had become good friends. It was sad to say goodbye to them. The location is stunning too with 180 degree views of 2 beaches. Outside our room we had a monkey highway as each morning 10 monkeys would walk across the vines outside our room. The wildlife are real happy there as we saw sloths, friendly lizards and lots of monkeys. And last but not least, the food was amazing at both restaurants. We cant wait to return!"
