Makao Beach Hotel

We stayed 6 nights at Makao Hotel. Anderson and the entire team made us very welcome from arrival to departure. The sounds of the sea crashing on the beach is amazing and lovely to help you fall asleep and to wake up to. Anderson sorted is out taxi on departure , a guide to take us river tubing and tips for local restaurants. There is no air con in the upstairs rooms but you don’t need it the breeze flows through so it keeps cool enough. And we weren’t bothered by insects.

We truly enjoyed the exceptional hospitality of the Team, they all introduced themselves personally and cared very well for us. Also the hotel has nice beach chairs and showers, facilities we have not seen in places nearby. Also the way they protect the beach from the rough currents & waves is nice. Food was great, too, as well as the happy hour 😎

We had dinner at Makao Beach Hotel and were lucky to get a fresh lobster that tasted delicious and at a very fair price. The service was great too. If you want to enjoy a nice and romantic dinner other than the typical pizza and burger in Palomino, this is the perfect place.

This is a small and very nice hotel right at the beach. The staff is so friendly and make you feel so welcome. We had the king ocean front. The view is amazing and the breeze in the room lovely. Enjoyed the minibar in the room. The sun beds are situated right on the beach at no extra charge. They also have surf lessons next door.

We really enjoyed this place, it's great for relaxing. it's on the smaller side, which means there isn't a huge amount of beach frontage, but it's possible to use the beach on the side where there's no development, so no big deal. The good thing about it being on the smaller side is that it doesn't attract the party crowd. The staff were great, held a room for us even though we were late arriving due to downed trees and landslides on the highway. Very attentive and the food was very good too. Close enough to walk to Palomino town, which is funky and on the way up. There's all kinds of things you can do, we took a private horse ride and it was a blast. The rooms were meticulously clean, and we had a nice view of the sea even though we weren't in the front room. I'd stay here again.

No recomendaría este lugar (NO es un Hotel). Sencillamente, no es lo que parece por las fotos subidas. Servicios pésimos en general. El precio exageradamente caro, para lo que ofrecen. Lo único que me llevé fué la Amabilidad del Colombiano.
