Features: Makanda's
open-air design accentuates the surrounding ocean views with
a sense of relaxing freedom and a consistent coastal breeze. The first structure at Makanda by the Sea was the
Large Villa, originally designed as a home. This villa now
hosts three attractive studios 2, 3 and 4 on the lower level
and the larger "Villa 1" on the upper level. The
design allows guests to enjoy a private room or combine
them through a series of Japanese gardens and patio walkways
for large groups.

The other villas are
independently set in the forests along the mountain side.
Expansive bi-fold doors open onto large balconies, making
nature a part of the home. From each private balcony to the
king size beds, the closeness of the jungle is present. From
the full kitchens to the bathrooms, forest and ocean views
keep your eyes fixed on the windows. Large Villas with
sixteen foot vaulted ceilings, a large sofa, hand-crafted
tiles and exotic hardwoods add just the right touch to make
your stay in the jungle one of elegance.
The geometrically designed
infinity pool has over four thousand feet of deck space and
is perched on a forty-five degree hillside. Spacious
viewing decks reach into the jungle canopy, bringing animal
life within arms reach. The sun sets among clouds, sizzling
as it sinks below the liquid horizon. Sipping on a cool
tropical drink while soaking in the Jacuzzi is enhanced by
the evening's cool breezes.
Review:
Located just off the
main road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park,
Makanda By the Sea's unique contemporary design blends
elegant architecture with its striking green backdrop in one
of Costa Rica's richest natural settings. Makanda By the
Sea is the ideal location for visitors wishing to experience
Costa Rica's natural splendor and variety while enjoying the
comforts of first-class jungle lodging.
