Villas in Cantón Quepos

"Makanda by the Sea is exceptional—pure luxury in paradise. The staff makes every moment magical, and I’m deeply grateful for their warmth and care. Jorge is an outstanding Spanish teacher, patiently guiding me with enthusiasm. Jessica, though new, excels and shines brightly. Alfredo at the front desk is the most helpful person alive—always going above and beyond. Andrew and Joe greet you with genuine smiles that instantly lift your spirits. Alexander bounces around with endless energy and a big “pura vida” smile, handling everything swiftly. Branden takes incredible care of our room, keeping it perfect. Elias at the pool bar is as friendly as can be. Roger, looking like a movie star, pops up everywhere with his infectious smile. Bayran provides excellent driving service. Johnathan and Samuel zip us around effortlessly from beach to pool and beyond. Thank you all—the heart of Makanda. Pura vida!"

"Amazing Room! Very Helpful Staff! "

"Beautiful space. Friendly host. Tuna steak at the restaurant was delicious."

"Excellente!"

"Staff were great, especially our server/bartender, room was clean, the view was nice. Our favorite was the included breakfast along with the views of the ocean at the restaurant. The property is located very close to the national park and is a short walk to the beach. We were fortunate enough to see Toucans and Howler Monkeys during our stay. Our room was located directly underneath the restaurant, which made it a little noisy during business hours, but after closing time and before opening, there were no noise issues from the restaurant. Would stay here again, but not directly under the restaurant."

"The food was great, all the staff were amazing, especially Johnathan! Only suggestion would be a mini fridge in the room and maybe a tv but not a big deal at all. Would recommend the place for sure! "
