Makanda by the Sea
Exceptional
Fabulous hotel - grounds, room (with an exception of the bathroom which could do with updating), views, staff, food (hummus/octopus and avocado wrap/fish) and cocktails (caipirinha/g&t) were all exceptional. There are capuchin and howler monkeys, toucans and other birds whose names I don't know, plus many more in the grounds. There were some works going on during our stay (restaurant expansion) but it didn't affect our experience. The walk to the beach is just under 1km (the first half a road and the second a stepping stone path) - you can get a lift in a golf buggy half the way. We enjoyed walking to the beach every day but it is extremely steep and would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. The village is within a kilometre and has some quite nice restaurants (Emilio's Cafe was our favourite - amazing grilled king prawns). My husband and I spent four nights here as part of our wedding anniversary trip and had an amazing time. I hope to be back!

Very Good
Hotel was very nice and the staff attentive without being intrusive. Pretty grounds with two small pools. Only real downside was the beach. It's a hike (though you can get a golf cart lift part way) and very disappointing when you get there. Other beaches in the area are nice but if you want a beautiful sand beach steps away from your hotel room, this won't do it. Pool fans will be happy, though

A week in paradise!
We just loved Makanda by the Sea! Our room was a Deluxe studio with a King bed, that overlooked the salt water infinity pool and poolside sushi bar. We were greeted with a bottle of pink champagne upon our arrival, and every employee was extremely friendly and attentive. The hotel has it's own private beach, two infinity pools, a spa, and is a perfect place to relax!
