Paradise

Loved it! Truly a paradise! Great food, private beach, beautiful hotel, great staff. The only suggestion I have is: the shop is over priced (100% more than original prices)

The Makani was amazing. My family and I can’t wait to come back. It’s really close to Cartagena and they were great helping us arrange the time to take the boat to Tierra Bomba!

The most beautiful resort I’ve stayed at yet! I loved how calm and peaceful the whole vibe was. Went here with my husband, and was so sad to leave. Highly recommend!

Fabulous resort. Did two days. Pool and restaurant were great . Room was even better with two floors and rooftop jacuzzi . Staff were attentive and very nice . Highly recommend 2-3 days or at least a day trip .
Josh, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very helpful on our way there and back, however whilst we were on the resort, especially those by the pool were slightly absent minded. Having said that, it’s been a great experience with tastefully designed interior in the room / villa and I’d go again for a quiet relaxing retreat.
Sara, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice facilities!

The facilities are amazing! What made me happy, was to see that the hotel and employes take care of the dogs of the island. I hope they have a program to castrate the female, so they keep healthy. It was joyfull to have them with us! Amazing pool, restaurant and the rooms are also super cosy with nice furniture.

The property is on the secluded island by itself. No adult hotels or restaurants rooms are beautiful and dining room area. Very nice. He can only be rich by boat stuff barely speak English I would say no English so the only way to communicate is through WhatsApp.

10/10 Exceptional

Very happy with our stay would absolutely recommend. The boat pick up situation was a little confusing as the tent they had indicated as theirs seemed to be occupied by a family spending the day at the beach… but when we returned it seemed like it was a specific tent for makani. Many people on the beach will ask you where you are going to try and get you in their boat… the makani crew all work makani shirts - we had them show us their pick up list so we could be certain it was the right boat. Beyond that the room was incredible the private pool deck fantastic, staff very lovely and helpful and all common areas were gorgeous. Food was also really good and a la carte breakfast included was delicious. Very happy we chose to spend the last few days of our trip here.
Genevieve, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, it’s a beautiful property. Within a couple hours of arriving, we were already considering extending our stay… that is, until we took a shower. One min of scalding water followed by 5 mins of cold, rinse and repeat (no pun intended). Maintenance just said that’s the way it is. On the plus side, Alejandro (a manager I believe) was very proactive in offering to compensate us by offering us spa treatments. Overall we enjoyed our stay- and had the shower worked properly, we would have really enjoyed it. It’s just if you’re paying $450+ a night for a room, a shower works properly is a must.
Tarl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The resort is beautifully made and has a great pool area as well as restaurants. Also the rooms are spacious and luxurious. However, the service has a lot of potential for improvement. Waiters forget your order and/or bring them twice. Every order takes 30-60min (even though there were barely any people sometimes) and the staff seems very relaxed and are talking with each other. We were locked out of our room for 3h and we received no apology for the long wait. The wifi also didn't work very well and had long outages. Furthermore, after denying them a tip because of the bad service some waiters completely ignored us until we told the reception and management.
Alexander, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not only that the ac and wifi for my villa werent working, i had at all times people inside my rooms fixing these issues, on top of that the property staff offered some discount if i ever wanted to come Back and alejandro didnt get back to me with necessary info to re book. I want my money back
Hasay, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Makani is beautiful. When booking, please be mindful that this resort is not located on the mainland, but on an island. Cartagena is 20 minutes away by speedboat. The boat ride to the island was an adventure. If you are looking to party and be up all night wandering the city, then do not book here! This is a great place for quiet, reflection, and relaxing. Upon arrival, We were greeted to a nice cool drink and staff that were friendly. If you do not speak the language, Google translator is a must! The room was beautiful. However, the showers are hot or cold, never warm. I enjoyed the private jacuzzi. It felt like sitting in my own oasis. One downfall is the cost of food and drinks. 1 bottle of water is over $2 usd if you add in the tip and service tax. French fries is about $7. We ordered 2 Tequilla sunrise and was charged for separate ingredients… orange juice! Tequilla… until a discussion was had.. so be sure to look before signing the receipt. Overall this was a great experience. I would recommend staying here. I give this place 4.5 stars!
