The hotel is a boutique hotel. Only 9 rooms. The staff was great. The room was good and had an amazing view of the sea (the only one with this option).
ColombiaVery kind staff. Nice breakfast. Rooms on second floor are spacious.
United States of AmericaGreat location on the beach with a large common area. The restaurant was very good and the staff was friendly and helpful.
ColombiaThe experience and custom service. Each employee treats and approaches you by your name and are always willing to help. Big shout out to Anderson, Jaime and Luis.
ColombiaThe owner of the hotel treated staff very well during Covid closure and They in turn pampered us to death. It was a great place to escape the Covid hysteria with high safety protocols with almost no impact on high quality food, rooms and service. It was my second time at the Makao because I love the chill factor and I can't wait to go back. Special thanks to Luis and Margarita for making sure things were made right!
CanadaVery clean and modern spot right on the beach, nice for relaxing and a quick walk to all the main spots on Palomino. Clean room with fresh linens daily, Staff were super friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!
CanadaRight on the beach. Beautiful location, very cozy. Close to everything, but so is everything in Palomino. Food was delicious and an excellent selection of wine. Staff was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Could not have asked for a better experience.
United States of AmericaThe staff, restaurant and hotel are all wonderful!!
SpainStaff was beyond kind and helpful. Food was great (we ate the Makao club for lunch almost every day because we loved it so much)! Perfect place for a peaceful relaxing getaway. Water is not super swimmable due to the undertow but we just went for small dips when we got too hot. Truly enjoyed watching the surfers !!
United States of AmericaVery chic cool hotel you feel like you’re sleeping in the ocean. Amazing staff, breakfast was delicious. Loved the location. It was perfect.
