    private bungalows

    A simple breakdown of my experience

    This hidden gem offers cozy bungalows just steps from a stunning beach. With only four units, privacy is guaranteed. The modern amenities, including a delightful breakfast, made for a comfortable stay. Tyler and his team provided superb assistance while respecting our space, creating a perfect balance. Can't wait to return!

    We enjoyed our stay at the bungalows, especially the beautiful beach just a two-minute walk away. The kids loved the fresh fruit breakfast and the lush surroundings were perfect for relaxing with our dog. The hosts made us feel at home!

    modern amenities
    comfortable beds
    serene atmosphere
    outdoor bathroom
    limited breakfast options
    nighttime inconvenience

    I appreciated the modern amenities and comfortable beds in my Queen Studio. The garden setting and proximity to the beach created a serene atmosphere, ideal for relaxation. However, the bathroom's outdoor accessibility was less convenient, especially at night, and some breakfast options were limited for specific dietary needs.

    beach proximity

    Just an ideal choice for a stopover in Playa Santa Teresa with extraordinarily good value for money. The beach is only a 2-minute walk away, and I enjoyed my mornings there with almost nobody around. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent for the jungle area when planning to stroll out in the evening.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Makanas Beach Bungalows. The bungalows are beautifully restored and very spacious, set in a tranquil jungle location, perfect for relaxing and watching the abundant wildlife passing by. The accessible pathways made it easy for me to navigate.

    A few more accessible outdoor seating options would help.

    private terrace

    Highly recommend for couples seeking intimacy

    The bungalow was impeccably maintained! had a private terrace we used for morning coffee, watching the monkeys swinging around above us.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but good enough for what we experienced.

    spotlessly clean
    well-equipped
    fresh breakfast
    outdoor bathroom
    nighttime access

    The Bungalow with Patio was spotlessly clean and well-equipped. I loved how peaceful it felt, with the wildlife like monkeys right above us. A/C worked great, which was a must during the humid days. Breakfast was fresh and delicious too. Only downside? The outdoor bathroom situation wasn’t ideal at night—that could get a bit inconvenient.

    stunning beach
    attentive hosts
    family atmosphere
    bathroom accessibility

    Staying here was a delight, especially with my grandson. The beaches were stunning, lined with tall coconut trees—the perfect spot for a day of surfing or swimming. The hosts were wonderfully attentive, making us feel like part of their family, with breakfast set out every morning.

    My kids wished for better bathroom accessibility at night.
