Maca bana is the place to stay if you are looking for a serene paradise, far away from cookie cutter resorts. The property views are breathtaking, the beach sand is the softest I’ve felt, and the beach is tucked away, providing a private paradise. The people working here were extremely attentive and friendly, in particular Joanne at the front, and her recommended driver, Chris. We will be back!

Maca Bana is a compound of villas of various colors and sizes. We stayed in Mango, a two bedroom, two bath villa and it was perfect for our needs. We had a full size kitchen and the fridge was already filled with breakfast items, eggs, bacon, bread, yogurt, orange juice and milk. For our first evening there, we opted to dine out at The Aquarium, the restaurant at the bottom of the property. It is a steep driveway down to the restaurant so you will get a bit of a workout especially when coming back up. The food was average, service was very good and the location is a few steps from the beach. Our bedrooms were spacious and allowed us to stretch out and relax. The deck surrounding the villa was extraordinary, offering us a beautiful view of the ocean every day. The pool was just a walk away from the villa. The beach is accessible through The Aquarium restaurant and is a quiet stretch of sand. This was a fantastic stay and made so much better with excellent assistance from Joanne, who runs the resort. She connected us with a trustworthy taxi driver who took us to various spots on the island. Joanne also set us up with a fantastic masseuse for our last day. While it rained outside, we each enjoyed a massage. Besides Joanne, we were treated so well by everyone on staff and we could not have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary but more importantly, help our daughter move into SGU. We will be coming back here.

If you want to snorkel off the beach this is a great place to stay. We stayed in the three-bedroom villa. The bedrooms are air-conditioned, but the living room / kitchen does not have A/C, so it was rather hot in the common area. Restuarant is tasty, but also does not have A/C and is not always open. Breakfast items were included with the room so we could make our own breakfast since the restaurant was not open.

The grounds are well manicured. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. The view was lovely. I got the peace and quiet I was looking for at Maca Bana. Well appointed room. Joanne recommended Chris for transportation. He was a delight and knowledgeable about Grenada. I will be back. Enjoy your stay at Maca Bana.

This is a beautiful Villa style, hotel tucked in tropical vegetation on top of the hill overlooking the bay. Simply amazing. JoAnne and Colleen took very good care of us, helped us with transport and tours, and were always pleasant. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful view from the Mango villa, unfortunately, the villa is very outdated, needs renovations

The view was great and the villa has a good kitchen and fridge. However, we were extremely disappointed at the fact that the hot tub was not working for the first two nights of a 6 night stay. The initial response was "it's not supposed to get that hot", but the water was cold. They finally fixed it. On the third and fourth night of our stay, there was very loud music coming up from the restaurant late at night. The bass made the bedroom walls shake. We did complain but the music was not turned down. The "explanation" for one night was "we had a private function that ran late" and the second was "the music was coming from somewhere else", even though we had personally checked the source of the music. We didn't book a party hotel! On the 5th day of our stay I talked to the manager to (again) let her know that we were having a disappointing stay. There was no attempt to rectify the situation in any way, not even a token complimentary drink. Nice view, but definitely not "luxury", not "boutique" and not "resort".

The room, hot tub, the privacy, and most of all... THE VIEW!

After multiple delays of our wedding and honeymoon, we finally left the U.S. Joanne welcomed us to MacaBana and was readily available for anything we needed. We stayed in the Mango Villa for 6 nights. It was quiet, roomy, and we couldn’t get enough of the view. We had our coffee and breakfast on the deck that overlooks the water and faces st. George every morning. We ventured out to other areas on the island most days and never had any issues getting to or from anywhere. The location was very close to the airport, which made me nervous when booking, but you would really never know the airport is a 10 minute walk away. The Aquarium restaurant onsite on Magazine beach has a popular Sunday BBQ and live music (and good food). If you’re looking for a party scene or all-inclusive life, this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for a place to relax and take in some great views and have easy access to a small beach not overridden with tourists, and one of the best restaurants on the island, this place is perfect.

Joanne was wonderful. Cleaning ladies did a great job and very friendly. Had resort to ourselves most of the time . Food at restaurant was great. Unfortunately manings closed down and curfew was in place when tjere but happy we had a great place to stay

Overall a great stay. The view, the hot tub, the bed/pillows were all fantastic. Joanne, the property manager was helpful as well. The wifi wasn't working properly and I asked for it to be fixed (router most likely needed to be reset) and Joanne said she contacted the service provider, but it never worked. The drain in the shower was jagged and had to be avoided in order to not cut your foot. There was some ants in the kitchen, but I saw them at all of my locations in Grenada so I was used to them. Lastly, and this was partly my fault (must not have locked the main door to the villa) we had an unexpected visitor passed out in our hot tub when we woke up in the morning. She wasn't a guest and actually came back to the resort the next day to get the ring she left on the patio/deck. The good outweighed the small issues, and uninvited guest. The restaurant staff were lovely climbing up the hill a few times to deliver food/drinks. Not recommended for handicap or people who can't take a short, but steep walk down to the beach/restaurant. Views make the trip down worth it though.

So, we have been to many places in the world between us. However, have have both agreed that this hotel resort and location has been the best experience so far. The staff (Joanne) has been wonderful. We can honestly say that we could see ourselves living here forever.. lol. I’m laying on the surprising comfortable bed (and I do mean comfortable) looking out at the mountains in the distance, listening to the waves crash on to the beautiful beach that I can also see. Thinking of having a nice orange juice in the hot tub in a minute. Romantic, amazing and extraordinary place. Even the fact that the restaurant was closed for the day had a silver lining to us. The boss allowed all of the staff to go and enjoy Spice Mass during carnival. You don’t find these kind of bosses anymore. Happy staff success business. Smart man. Sympathetic man. Planning our wedding next October. We will be back.

The location was very nice, the view was very beautiful. The food and service, we loved. I felt like they gave us the best room in the hotel. It made a birthday celebration super special.

Good location, clean and comfortable suite, infinity pool, what more could you ask for! Short walk to the beach and plenty of places to eat in the vicinity. Most important, the host with the most! His hospitality and will to accommodate was of the highest customer service!

We loved our stay at Maca Bana. The location is convenient to both the airport as well as the best beaches and local dining.

Best view ever! Used the hot tub every night. The patio alone is worth the money. We got there with a stocked fridge and used almost everything.

Fantastic 2 weeks on MacaBana on Pinapple villa, one of Granadas best beaches, best restaurant on the beach - personal touch!

My wife and I had an excellent stay at the Maca Bana! We were upgraded to the coconut room on the first night and the room and view were stunning. My wife's breath was taken away. There is nothing like staying in a villa on a mountain and having total privacy but beautiful scenery. Phillip the manager was very helpful and friendly and our taxi driver Rickey was awesome. Our time at Maca Bana was truly special and when I return to Grenada, Maca Bana is where I'll be staying.
