Friendly small hotel with simple rooms and excellent beachfront location

Lovely beachfront location at quiet end of Palomino, delicious varied breakfast options, spacious room

All was great aside from hot water in shower lukewarm (not major issue being in such hot climate).

Erholung und Service pur!

Das Personal war extrem freundlich und wir wurden immer mit Vornamen angesprochen. Wir waren im Zimmer 2 und hatten einen tollen Ausblick von unserem kleinen Balkon auf das Meer und den Strand, da wir aber die gesamte Zeit unten am Strand verbracht haben, haben wir das kaum genutzt außer um unseren Begrüßungsdrink zu trinken und morgens vom Bett aus aufs Meer zu schauen. Das Zimmer war schön, das Bett mit Moskitonetz war gut, es gab Handtücher und Ablageflächen. Das Essen war extrem lecker und man sitzt natürlich toll direkt am Strand. Es gibt mehrere Liegen und man erhält extra Strandhandtücher. Wenn man den Weg von der Hauptstraße bis vor zum Strand nicht laufen will (knapp 15 Minuten), dann kann man auch ein TukTuk nehmen. Es war auch schön, dass das Hotel nicht so groß war, dadurch hat man richtiges Privatstrandfeeling gehabt. Wir konnten auch ins Wasser gehen, das Personal hat uns sozusagen das „Go“ dafür gegeben, da es nicht immer geht.

Der Check-out war ein wenig früh um 11:00 Uhr, aber wir haben unsere Sachen gepackt und konnten an der Rezeption alles abgeben und konnten dann trotzdem noch alles nutzen und uns an der Stranddusche abduschen und die Restaurant-WC‘s nutzen.

Makao is the dream hotel. It is vibrant, lovely and very special. Food is delicious, service is really good (thanks Anderson and Jesus for being the BEST) and the beach is great.

Lovely stay, the food was great and the staff was excellent. Also the location is one of the best in Palomino

The toilet in our room didn’t flush properly, which was slightly annoying. Apart from this, everything else was great

Lovely place at the beach

Hotel staff were very helpfull and friendly. Nice breakfast.

WIFI and electricity was cut at times. This however was a problem for the whole village. Water was cut and when it worked again, the faucets gave brown water till the next day. Food is below average and pricy. Ordered nachos with sauses for evening snack. The nachos came out of a plastic bag, the guacamole was something I luckily never tasted before, and will never try there again.

Great stay and amazing price for such a clean and amazing hotel right by the beach!

Beautiful hotel right by the beach in Palomino. I stayed in the sweet which was super nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff were really great and helpful with everything I needed. The food and drinks were also great - I didn't leave the place while I was there.

I liked everything!

Very relaxing beach break at a hotel that values their customers

The staff were excellent and went the xtra mile. The location was very good as the hotel is right on the beach and easy to walk to restaurants and bars etc. the breakfast was very good and so was the food in general. The room and food/drink prices were reasonable

The next door hotel’s music was annoying but it did stop at 10pm. Some shady areas would have been welcomed

perfect in every way

Super friendly staff! They made it feel like home. Even if the hotel is booked out it doesn’t feel busy. The rooms are very bright and spacious. It is not too busy or loud at the beach since there are no neighbours on one side.

Excellent hotel and we will return.

The property was super comfortable and relaxing for us. Great location and easy walking distance to explore the many shops, restaurants and bars. Also super clean with an incredible staff that was very accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about the staff.

10 stars ⭐️ for Makao

The Makao Team welcomed us with a great hospitality! The hotel has a nice private beach and is located perfectly for going out in Palomino. We stayed one week in Makao & enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the comfy & always clean room, yummi cocktails as well as the great kitchen! Carol, Chiara & the rest of the kitchen staff cook incredibly tasty & fresh meals! Besides that the whole Makao Staff treated us like family right from the beginning - it is a true treasure that you experience such a warm, friendly, generous & lovely service! entonse MUCHAS GRACIAS Jaime, Margherita, Luis, Jesus, Estella, Rosio, Ander y todo el equipo Makao!

Lovely but pretty disappointing for the price.

The place is very lovely and clean. Most of the staff is friendly, sweet and genuinely wanting to help. It’s super comfy to be right on the beach, with a nice restaurant menu etc. Loved the watermelon juice as a welcome and the ceviche is wow. Wi-Fi is steady.

I understand it is the Caribbean and it’s a remote beach, but I would have loved to know there was a problem with the hot water from the beginning. Every time I went to take a hot shower (much needed after a beach day, windy day) there was little to no hot water. One member of their staff didn’t seem to care much and told me it shouldn’t be expected as an amenity (I was given the example of a swimming pool). Others tried to help and call maintenance but the problem didn’t really get fixed. The rooms at the ground floor (air conditioning) and especially the one next to the kitchen is pretty noisy with all the reception interactions, staff talk, music playing… not superior at all and I wouldn’t book that again. The rooms with balcony above are nice but bring mosquito spray!

if you willing to pay more for a quiet beach relaxation go for it

it’s a good beach-side hotel if you want to disconnect yourself from other noisy hotels in the neighborhood. it’s more suitable for a private romantic plan. the breakfast was excellent.

the guest room is a little disappointing value-quality-wise and at night it appears too many insects at night. Also no option for hot water in the shower. overall food at the hotel is over priced and small portion.

Good

Nice, airy and carribean style rooms, all with a side sea view.

Unfortunately no hot water. During our 7 night stay the room has only been cleaned 3 times, which wouldn't be a problem, but the toilet bin def needs to be emptied daily. Be aware that there is no beach whatsoever. Compared to other places in palomino i found it too expensive

Wind down on the waterfront

This nice place has just a few rooms, which makes it a nice intimate place right on the water. The room had everything I could possibly want — a balcony with sea view, a large bathroom, bug bed and a desk for getting a little work done. The common areas included a day bed and other lounging areas that were nice.

There was no outlet close to the desk.... my computer cord wouldn't reach to the closest one.
