Having said that, it’s been a great experience with tastefully designed interior in the room / villa and I’d go again for a quiet relaxing retreat. ##### Sara Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### claito Jan 5, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice facilities! The facilities are amazing! What made me happy, was to see that the hotel and employes take care of the dogs of the island. I hope they have a program to castrate the female, so they keep healthy. It was joyfull to have them with us! Amazing pool, restaurant and the rooms are also super cosy with nice furniture. ##### claito Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Yossi Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The property is on the secluded island by itself. No adult hotels or restaurants rooms are beautiful and dining room area. Very nice. He can only be rich by boat stuff barely speak English I would say no English so the only way to communicate is through WhatsApp. ##### Yossi Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Genevieve Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very happy with our stay would absolutely recommend. The boat pick up situation was a little confusing as the tent they had indicated as theirs seemed to be occupied by a family spending the day at the beach… but when we returned it seemed like it was a specific tent for makani. Many people on the beach will ask you where you are going to try and get you in their boat… the makani crew all work makani shirts - we had them show us their pick up list so we could be certain it was the right boat. Beyond that the room was incredible the private pool deck fantastic, staff very lovely and helpful and all common areas were gorgeous. Food was also really good and a la carte breakfast included was delicious. Very happy we chose to spend the last few days of our trip here. ##### Genevieve Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tarl Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Overall, it’s a beautiful property. Within a couple hours of arriving, we were already considering extending our stay… that is, until we took a shower. One min of scalding water followed by 5 mins of cold, rinse and repeat (no pun intended). Maintenance just said that’s the way it is. On the plus side, Alejandro (a manager I believe) was very proactive in offering to compensate us by offering us spa treatments. Overall we enjoyed our stay- and had the shower worked properly, we would have really enjoyed it. It’s just if you’re paying $450+ a night for a room, a shower works properly is a must. ##### Tarl Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea Sep 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Makani is beautiful. When booking, please be mindful that this resort is not located on the mainland, but on an island. Cartagena is 20 minutes away by speedboat. The boat ride to the island was an adventure. If you are looking to party and be up all night wandering the city, then do not book here! This is a great place for quiet, reflection, and relaxing. Upon arrival, We were greeted to a nice cool drink and staff that were friendly. If you do not speak the language, Google translator is a must! The room was beautiful. However, the showers are hot or cold, never warm. I enjoyed the private jacuzzi. It felt like sitting in my own oasis. One downfall is the cost of food and drinks. 1 bottle of water is over $2 usd if you add in the tip and service tax. French fries is about $7\. We ordered 2 Tequilla sunrise and was charged for separate ingredients… orange juice! Tequilla… until a discussion was had.. so be sure to look before signing the receipt. Overall this was a great experience. I would recommend staying here. I give this place 4.5 stars! ##### Andrea Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcela Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The place is brand new, cozy and modern. The facilities were outstanding! It is as good of a stay as any luxury chain resort. Getting there was easy enough since they provide their own Makani transportation, 18 min later we were welcomed at the property with a very cold beverage. We were upgraded on the pool chairs since the place was not busy and our room wasn’t ready We stayed with kids and they loved it! We were able to snorkel on their beach. Kids wished we stayed there for the entire vacation. My daughter got sick the night before we got there (too much sun exposure, I think since she got better right away) and the staff sent the property nurse. Everyone knew she was sick and offered to bring her tea/water/medicine etc. Even at night, the staff told me the guard of the property knew and will help in the worst case scenario, to take my daughter to Emergencies. Thankfully she felt better the next day and was snorkeling with dad all day Everyone knew my name and welcomed me (by my name) every time I got a drink or food. We came during the weekday and it wasn’t crowded at all! There are no vendors hustling on the beach, (anywhere you go in the beach, people will try to sell you things, be careful) However none of this happened on this resort. Relaxing here was amazing (no one was in sight) The price per night was expensive, but if you pay for the day or 2 to come here, then staying the night is worth it especially if you are here ##### Marcela Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Oct 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful Retreat An amazing peaceful resort that reminded me of my stays on small islands in Fiji without the 14 hour flight. Communication from hotel is great. They tell you to meet at a tent on the beach and helpful boat staff take care of all luggage. Some mention the boat ride is rough, but for us both directions was a pleasant ride. Staff greet you upon arrival at island. Check in was easy and fast. We staying in the villa that overlooks the water. Private pool is clean and everything in room is perfect. Important to know that this resort is a day club. Stayed 3 nights and generally about 10-20 people come from 11-5\. Before 11 and after 5 we had the entire resort to ourselves or would see at most 4 other guests. Food in restuarant was excellent. There are 6 dogs they live on property. If you hate dogs the staff will chase them away, but we were the opposite and they are super cute. One spent the night with us and kids will enjoy the small friendly dogs. Read the fine print about where your lounge chairs will be. As a hotel guest, you are below the pool, in front of a wall before the beach because the pool chairs are for day club guests. 3 of 4 days we were given great spots at the pool and only 1 day placed on the sand. Service is excellent, but almost no English if you care about that. Overall; incredible room and property. Alone at restaurant for breakfast, nice people come for the day and then deserted late afternoon once again. ##### Steve Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Benjamin Jan 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Staff & service Hotel is nice, clean and safe, they would benefit from a gym and getting wifi to work on the roof of the premium rooms (where the jacuzzi and outdoor areas are). Unfortunately dining, customer service & management is lacking. Every single day the hotel ran out of food and drinks. The staff did nothing to resolve issues, rather just walked away quickly, made excuses or stood there saying nothing. During our stay the hotel ran out of STILL WATER, Coke Zero, pizza bases, ham, beef, deserts, other ingredients in cocktails on their menu. These problems happened EVERY day and eventually we met with the quality service manager, who did give us a free dinner, which was appreciated, however he just made more excuses rather than solving issues. Apparently it is the “hotel’s” fault, not any individual… One day we ordered our own food and drink from Cartagena for delivery, which proves getting supplies isn’t that hard, but nobody at the hotel was able to make this happen. Boats run every hour from Cartagena and staff on both sides? We ordered a drink off their menu only for staff to come back 20 minutes later and say they don’t have all the ingredients, then walk away without offering an alternative. We would come back if they got fixed these issues, but with an experience like this, if these issues aren’t resolved, we’d prefer to go back to Punta Faro on Mucura instead of come back here. Facility is luxury but service is far from it. Fix the problems and we would return. ##### Benjamin Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing everything. ##### Hans Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best of All Worlds Great property, excellent staff, tranquil location, first class accommodations. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6941da8b-3b2b-4820-bdaa-eebe207e1c44-1755633936383.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Patiala](https://www.expedia.ca/Patiala-Hotels.d9038.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Cheap Hotels in Delfshaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Delfshaven-Rotterdam-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6284485-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [ELangata Olerai Luxury Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-ELangata-Olerai-Luxury-Camp.h31912750.Hotel-Information) > - [Cheap Hotels in Halton Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Halton-Hills-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d553248634534676778-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Luxury Hotels in Akasaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Akasaka-Tokyo-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-n6048235-0-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d4118-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotel Alba](https://www.expedia.ca/Reggio-NellEmilia-Hotels-HOTEL-ALBA.h45671505.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Inn & Suites Liverpool - Syracuse North](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h23659.Hotel-Information) > - [Pet-friendly Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178296-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Las Palmeras](https://www.expedia.ca/Cartagena-Hotels-Las-Palmeras.h80005984.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Doville](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/3000038759/flights-from-doville) > - [Flights from Schwechat (VIE) to Abu Dhabi (AZI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vie/azi/vienna-to-abu-dhabi) > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > - [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Ghobeiry (BEY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/bey/toronto-to-beirut) > - [WestJet Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Honolulu (HNL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-edmonton-intl-to-daniel-k-inouye-intl/ws/yeg/hnl) > - [Flights from Miami, FL (MIA-Miami Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/nyc/miami-to-new-york) > - [Flights from Palm Springs (PSP) to Mesa (AZA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/psp/aza/palm-springs-to-mesa) > - [Flights from San Diego (SAN) to Santa María Huatulco (HUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/san/hux/san-diego-to-huatulco) > - [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mco/sjo/orlando-to-san-jose) > - [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS-Schiphol) to Riga (RIX-Riga Intl.)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/rix/amsterdam-to-riga) > - [Flights from Iola](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/553248634983119784/flights-from-iola) > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/gla/calgary-to-glasgow) ### Cars > - [Dollar Rent A Car Car Rentals In Cape Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Dollar-Rent-A-Car-Car-Rentals-In-Cape-Canaveral.d6484-c43.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages ### General > - [Visit Turtle Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Turtle-Island.dx10100) > - [Visit Parioli](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Parioli.dx6185674)
