Not sure I would stay again but overall was a good experience and would recommend if not bothered by super loud rain. ##### Herry Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The bungalows are on the outskirts of Santa Teresa, which was good. Santa Teresa extremely busy, lots of surfers. Beach was beautiful but not really swimmable due to rip current. Not a lot of close by restaurants to chose from ##### Christina Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Makanas felt so homey and warm. Tyler and Mary were great hosts and helped us with anything we needed. The bungalows are so beautiful and clean. The beach is breath taking, private, and we got to watch sunsets every night. I do suggest renting an ATV to help you get around town. ##### Natalie Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina 25 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Monkeys hanging out above our cabana!

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. ##### Katerina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pato 11 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Pato Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arwen 1 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Arwen Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 5 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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! ##### Matthew Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice place. Had a jungle trail down to the beach. Quaint complex. Nice set up and grounds were beautiful. Property manager was not onsite, but was very quick to answer any questions via whatsapp. A few drawbacks - lack of outlets, water pressure was terrible (but good hot water), very steep driveway (luckily my spouse is a confident driver), no microwave. But the biggest drawback was the noise from the street. The town has really rough roads (lots of potholes), so people ride ATV's and motorcycles, which are very loud. There were also lots of trucks on the road. We stayed in Bungalow #6, which is right next to the street. The traffic started at 5am and lasted all day and into the evening. Not what I expected to hear in Costa Rica. Was very disappointing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katerina 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Katerina Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities This place is great as long as you really read the reviews and set expectations. Very clean room, great pillows, comfy bed and good showers! This totally worked for us because we had a car and could easily go eat and get around town. If you’re there in the dry season the roads out front are dirt and dust kicks up everywhere so walking isn’t ideal. Plus it’s a hike to town - solid 20 min walk. The offer of breakfast needs to be prearranged I think. Santa Teresa is such an amazing destination we were never planning on hanging out at the hotel but if you are, this might not work for you. So worth it for us. The owners were so responsive and helpful. Pure pleasure! Pura Vida. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marek 18 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Marek Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Samson 17 May 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrible communication. ##### Samson Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Astrid 19 Nov 2025 Liked: Staff & service The room was very small, ca 9 sqm. In the bathroom were ants coming out of small holes in the wall. ##### Astrid Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marlen 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La propiedad es hermosa, tal cual en las fotos y lo mejor es que todos los días hacen la limpieza de la habitación y te suministran toallas de playas. ##### Marlen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Line 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dejligt ophold Vi boede i Santa Teresa 4 nætter, hyggeligt og roligt område - alligevel tæt på det hele. Lækkert bade sted 400 meter til højre, når lav vand, ellers klipper. God kaffe og morgenmad. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B9E0E3772617D338DFCEDE789B9E32368FB8E3BA1708784456957.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EAEA77225D0ED176BC1455AE9570A0E66093F7F41708784457176.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9C47B7FE09A2439294708DBEABD2AA2A97BE535B1708784457162.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Line Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sigrid 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Recomendable para jóvenes y adultos que les gusta la naturaleza. ##### Sigrid Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Anthony 18 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location , a bit pricey for what is offered .very steep entry that is difficult to get safely out on the street.
