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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

Unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience. The bed sheets and bath towels were clearly not washed from the last person that was there, the toilet and sink were completely dirty and not to mention the fan that had a large amount of dust. The bathroom door would not close and we had to keep it open the whole time. I booked the hotel because it was a 9.2 rating and this rating was not even closed to what I got, personally I would not recomend this hotel.

Our host was really lovely and the breakfast was excellent! Location is a bit close to the road and therefore a bit dusty. Cabins are a tight fit for a family of four - perfect for two. Beach is a short walk, easy to access for sunrise and sunset. Swimming right at the beach access is rocky but again it’s a short walk to sandy sections. Nearby Playa Hermosa is exceptional!

2 thumbs up!!! We were exhausted from getting to Santa Teresa by taxi, boat, and shuttle. We met Jon, the owner, right when we pulled in. We told him we like to book the first night on vacation and let the locals tell us what to do and where to go next. Jon spent several hours telling us what we need to do. He booked ATVs for us and booked us a flight back to san jose which saved us 10 hours of travel:) We would have never knew. I have traveled to over 50 countries and have never written a Review. I feel this place deserves a review. Jon was the most hospital hotel owner I have met in my travels. The place was perfect, right on the beach, and comfortable. We will be back to stay again.

I spent one night at Makanas with my boyfriend. We had dinner in playa Carmen. It was a great stay for a gr at price. It’s definitelt a bit isolated from the bustling surrounding areas but we liked that. Cute little cabanas tucked away in the jungle. Would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a quiet/mellow night or two.

What a sweet spot. Beautiful cabinas that were clean and stayed cool with AC. Less than a minute walk to the beach and sunsets to melt your mind. The staff is so kind, honest, fun and helpful. They really made our stay amazing!!! Also Makanas is a little north of the main hotels and restaurants in Santa but it makes for a peaceful and relaxing stay. So nice to get away from it all!!!!!

The bungalows are perfect if you are looking for a small, cute room walking distance to the beach. Massimo is the man, he is super friendly and will assist with getting the most of your stay in Santa Teresa. Definitely recommend having an atv or car, it is north of town (although the town is growing rapidly to the north) and can be a long, hot walk in dry season. Massimo has a guy that can hook you up with atv, they bring them to you at the bungalow. Breakfast is amazing, fresh fruit, coffee, eggs... it just kept coming! At sunset walk down to the beach and find a waterhole to sit in with a cold beer and take in the beauty of Costa Rica. Hope you enjoy this magical place as much as we do!
