Beautiful setting for the resort. Enjoyed taking time between the pool, the beach and our room jacuzzi. Staff were super helpful and went out of their way to assist us.
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)
You have to stay here ! What a wonderful place , staff is amazing , property is beautiful , you will have an a amazing experience here , can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Cartagena
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!
Smooth checkin process , great staff all around. Facilities , rooms, pool area etc all top notch. Easy checkout process. Beautiful Island and private space set aside for overnight guests
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 .
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.
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.
