Please note that my review is specific to the Makanas Beach Bungalows Comfort Suite with 1 Queen Bed and Garden View only! The dining room, seating area, and kitchen are entirely outdoors. Given the tropical temperatures, high humidity, and presence of insects in May, these outdoor areas were quite uncomfortable.

The bedroom features a single small window positioned above the bed, offering a view of a debris-filled area. Accessing the bathroom requires stepping outside in the heat and dealing with insects to unlock an exterior door. This door is locked to ensure exclusive use of the bathroom.

I strongly advise thoroughly studying the listing carefully and reading all follow-up emails for fine print details. You may wish to make other arrangements! In my opinion, Makanas Beach Bungalows and third-party booking sites have inadequately represented this unit, both in posted photos and the description provided.

What You Should Know Before You Book

Simple accommodations north of busy Santa Teresa. Clean comfortable. Daily breakfast, parking, AC. Reasonable price between $30 hostel and $600-$800 hotels. No ocean view; Short path to beach, past a few other homes. Can also walk to Rocomar beach restaurant but otherwise you would want a car to see more.  Numerous nearby beaches offer surfing at all levels.  We worked with Mario at Nalu surf shop and were happy.  Tyler was helpful and made several spot-on local recommendations. Santa Teresa is eclectic beach community where you will share the road with bikes, motorcycles, ATVs, delivery, trucks, dust, pedestrians, dogs and vehicles of all kind. It’s part of the experience Pura Vida.

Clean comfortable, near beach

This was a quaint bungalow in the jungle and steps to the beach. The grounds were beautiful, the breakfast was great, the owner very accomodating, rooms were very clean, enjoyed our stay here being so close to the beach.

Beautiful, Quiet Stay

The bungalow was super comfortable, clean and had a very comfortable king sized bed. The location is great because you are just far enough North of the busy center of town so that the forest and amazing beach are very quiet, but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and action if you want to. Owners Mary and Tyler are friendly and courteous, and went out of there way to help us out and make sure we had a good trip.

Beautiful jungle accommodation right on the beach

Perfect location steps away from the best beaches of Santa Teresa.  Giulia is the perfect host and was friendly and welcoming.  The bungalow is clean, simple, and a great base for exploring the area.  The included breakfast was delicious and did not disappoint!  I stayed here twice, at the beginning and end of my trip.  Florblanca resort is nearby for amazing yoga and has an awesome restaurant for lunch/dinner.  The market is a 10 minute walk and the main town area is about 15-20 minutes away.  I would definitely stay at Makana’s again 👍🏼

Quiet spot steps away from the best beaches

The caretaker of this place, Giuli, is amazing. She is the hostess of the mosses. She is also an amazing cook (breakfast is delicious). The location is the best part. Technically you are close enough to all the main activities, but you also get the super quiet and nice location. The beach is the best part. You literally walk like 2mins to the beach and barely people in this area. Most people are in town. The owners of the place need to invest some money to do some TLC on this place but regardless of this, I still would recommend it. This place is super clean, quiet, adorable and the location is the best. Also Wi-Fi works amazing - worked here w/no problems.
