"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

"Not right on the beach but close. They need additional blinds for sleeping, a bit bright. If you close the bedroom door you will get no ac from the living room where the ac is located. They are very helpful in all your needs!"
"Luz the manager was helpful and efficient. Location is great, set back from the beach with a private pool and busy restaurant/ bar in front. Lovely surf beach.
Had an excellent massage at spa with Rosita. "
"We had a long and amazing stay at Manala. The property is beatiful , to the location is perfect , the staff is fantastic. I could not recommend this place enough and will definitely stay here again. "
"Very friendly staff, I tried yoga and it was a good experience. Rooms were spacious and clean. I will probably stay there again on my next Mal Pais trip."
"Everything was perfect! Rosella, Johanna and Richard were always so helpful. The place is perfectly located in the downtown area and walking distance to the beach. Beautiful place."
"The villa was super cute, very clean, and the area very walkable. They had security as well, which was an added plus. Two things that could be improved— internet speed was ridiculously slow or nonexistent at times. I also asked for an iron at 6pm and they just told me, sorry housekeeping is gone until tomorrow. So the service lacked a bit there… "

"Loved staying at Zula Inn. Family of 4 with small kids 9&5 yrs old.
We stayed for 4 nights and ot was just wonderful. Super comfy and spotlessly clean. Rooms provide all utensils you need to stock up on groceries and do your thing. We decided to eat out every meal and there are mulyiple options near by.
My favorite part...After a sun baked day at the beach with an amazing sunset (5-8 min walk) walking into a cooled A/C clean room with all cleaned and beds made 😎. Of course dont forget the nighly deep in the pool before calling it a night with the kids.
Would definitely stay again if in the area. "

"This place was remarkable! Best vacation I’ve ever had! I felt so safe, everything was clean, and we never wanted to leave the resort as it had so many amenities. The pool was great, the bungalows are great, and the staff were very friendly! Definitely going back! "
"I stayed in one of the private rooms. It was very clean and it had everything I needed. The room was a little small, but comfortable. The hotel grounds are pretty and very clean. There is also a very nice small pool. The staff were friendly and answered any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again. "
