Chalets in Cantón Pérez Zeledón

"Our king suite was overlooking the ocean and Manuel Antonio national park!! The entire wall was a window! It was a million dollar view. I said I could have just sat on the balcony or in the bed looking out and enjoyed my experience! The included bfast is amazing and the grounds are like being in the national park. We saw a baby sloth up close right by the bar and had monkeys on our balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff and clean and gorgeous hotel. Very close to wonderful food options. We drove an hour south to a beach with bigger waves, but this was still a perfect place to stay and jump off from. The front desk helped us schedule parasailing. Easy to park. Real gem. "

"We had an amazing stay! Clean room, yummy restaurant, lovely beach accessible, cool pool, stunning views, crazy monkeys for entertainment, and market available with snacks and essentials. We arrived to a gift of wine in our room, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. With the gated entrance, we felt very safe, but the whole area seemed safe and walkable (if you can do those steep inclines!). We’d love to stay again! "

"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!"
