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!

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.

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.

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.

This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The place is brand new, cozy and modern. The facilities were outstanding! It is as good of a stay as any luxury chain resort. Getting there was easy enough since they provide their own Makani transportation, 18 min later we were welcomed at the property with a very cold beverage. We were upgraded on the pool chairs since the place was not busy and our room wasn’t ready We stayed with kids and they loved it! We were able to snorkel on their beach. Kids wished we stayed there for the entire vacation. My daughter got sick the night before we got there (too much sun exposure, I think since she got better right away) and the staff sent the property nurse. Everyone knew she was sick and offered to bring her tea/water/medicine etc. Even at night, the staff told me the guard of the property knew and will help in the worst case scenario, to take my daughter to Emergencies. Thankfully she felt better the next day and was snorkeling with dad all day Everyone knew my name and welcomed me (by my name) every time I got a drink or food. We came during the weekday and it wasn’t crowded at all! There are no vendors hustling on the beach, (anywhere you go in the beach, people will try to sell you things, be careful) However none of this happened on this resort. Relaxing here was amazing (no one was in sight) The price per night was expensive, but if you pay for the day or 2 to come here, then staying the night is worth it especially if you are here

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.
