Makanda by the Sea

10/10 Excellent
"The ideal hotel for relaxing and watching the wildlife on property. We went on a national park tour and saw fewer monkeys and Sloths than each day at the hotel. Staff are amazingly helpful and accommodating. Low stress environment. You’ll spend a little more of food and drinks but for the property and amenities it’s worth every cent."
