8/10 Very good

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.
Herry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Christina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Natalie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Bungalow amid garden and close to beach You are preserved from bustling main road and city center and close to beach

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Pato, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Arwen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Katerina, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Makanas is an amazing place to stay in Santa Teresa! Tyler has done a wonderful job with the property and is very helpful with locals tips and recommendations. We got an ATV rental in town for the five days we were here and it was awesome. The perfect (and very fun) way to get around and explore. The breakfast was included at Makanas and was a delicious and simple Costa Rican plate. The rooms were up to date, cute, clean, and air conditioned. The beach was beautiful and 30 seconds from the front door. I’d highly recommend staying here as a home base for exploring Santa Teresa!

Dejligt ophold

Vi boede i Santa Teresa 4 nætter, hyggeligt og roligt område - alligevel tæt på det hele. Lækkert bade sted 400 meter til højre, når lav vand, ellers klipper. God kaffe og morgenmad.
