I loved the hotel. The room was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive. We experienced a few issues both before and during our stay, but they handled everything quickly and resolved them in the best possible way, which made us forget about them. We will definitely come back and highly recommend it.

We are accustomed to staying at luxury properties, which is precisely why we chose Makani Luxury. Unfortunately, the experience we encountered was far from what one would expect from a property carrying the “Luxury” designation. From the very beginning, the experience lacked the transparency and level of service expected at this price point. Upon arrival, we were taken to a beach area where guests wait for transportation to the hotel. There was no dock or proper boarding area. Instead, we were asked to wait directly on the sand under the sun for more than 30 minutes. There was no shade, no umbrellas, no water offered, and no seating available. Guests were left standing on hot sand in direct sunlight with no basic hospitality while waiting to be transported. When the transportation arrived, it was not a speedboat as one would reasonably expect from a luxury property, but rather a small local boat (yola). We were required to remove our shoes, walk through the water, and board the boat under conditions that were never disclosed during the booking process. After arriving at the island, we had still not had water or food for quite some time. We politely asked if we could sit at the restaurant and have lunch while waiting for our room to be ready. However, we were told that we could not dine until completing the property tour and were asked to wait on a sofa instead. Later that evening we also discovered that the hotel does not provide food service after 10:00 PM,

Hospedagem para relaxar

O café da manhã é maravilhoso. O quarto tem muito conforto, cama boa, jogo de lençol maravilhoso. A piscina é lindíssima e perfeita. O chuveiro não esquenta muito, ele esquenta e para. A chegada no hotel é direto no mar, não é algo que achei ruim, mas um aviso quando agendamos a lancha seria interessante, assim a gente se prepara melhor para se molhar. A praia é uma delícia. O almoço, petiscos na piscina e o jantar são pagos. Média dos pratos 60.000. Ao todo na nossa estadia de 3 dias gastamos 1.200.000 Tivemos uma noite de chuva intensa e nosso quarto teve muitas goteiras, mas a equipe nos mudou de quarto e foram ágeis. A jacuzzi que tem no quarto é uma delícia.

Todo estuvo prerfecto en la estancia , limpio bonito y el personal muy amable. La comida deliciosa y llenador. Solo el telefono no sirvio no podiamos pedir a la habitacion y no lo pudieron arreglar xq si fueron. El transporte de ida en la lancha era personal nuevo que estaba aprendiendo y casi nos volteamos varias veces, iba muy rapido y todavia no sabia agarrar las olas bien. En la lancha de regreso no tuvimos ningun percance.

Este hotel en una isla es el lugar perfecto para desconectar de la ciudad y disfrutar de la tranquilidad frente al mar. Aunque durante el día la música suena fuerte en algunas áreas, hay lugares más tranquilos para relajarse. El servicio es excelente y, aunque las opciones gastronómicas son limitadas, la comida es de buena calidad. Las áreas públicas son lindas y acogedoras, ideales para pasar el tiempo, y las cabañas son amplias, limpias, bien equipadas y cuentan con una terraza privada muy agradable. Un excelente destino para disfrutar con amigos o pareja, aunque no es muy adecuado para familias.
