Maca Bana Luxury Boutique Resort

We loved this beautiful boutique hotel! Excellent views, beautiful grounds, comfortable villa, great amenities, nice restaurant and beach, great location. We stayed in the Mango villa. Joanne was excellent to work with and took great care of us. We would absolutely stay again! We didn't rent a car and instead hired a driver recommended by the hotel. He took us everywhere and was friendly, always on time, and easy to get in touch with. We were able to add his charges to our hotel bill, which was very convenient. FYI there are a lot of hills and stairs which were not a problem for us but would be for those with mobility issues.

We spent a delightful week with two other couples at Maca Bana’s three-bedroom Coconut Villa. The resort itself is breathtaking. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the pristine Magazine Beach, it offers an unparalleled blend of luxury and natural beauty at an incredible value. The resort features a collection of intimate villas that provide a serene, private retreat and the Aquarium restaurant where one can enjoy a plenitude of delicious ambrosial delights and island themed cocktails only a few short steps from the beach. The accommodations are clean, modern, well-appointed and spacious. We stayed at the Coconut Villa, the largest, three-bedroom villa that perfectly accommodated our party of six. We enjoyed the use of a fully equipped kitchen and an expansive deck with a private hot tub that allowed us to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking views of Magazine Beach and the picturesque coastline. The resort’s proximity to Magazine Beach – beautiful and less congested than most - is a significant benefit. A short stroll through Maca Bana's well appointed gardens led us to its pristine sands where we relaxed with delicious island cocktails and swam/snorkeled in its crystal blue waters in relative privacy. A review of the Maca Bana would be woefully inadequate without recognizing the superior, attentive service provided by Joanne, the property manager. She gave us restaurant recommendations, arranged grocery deliveries, connected us with a driver to transport us around the island (ask for Chris for a memorable experience) and was available to assist us on short notice to ensure we had a memorable stay. Her gracious hospitality was one among many highlights of our vacation. In summary, Maca Bana offers a luxurious escape characterized by its beautiful beachfront accommodations and the outstanding service of its attentive staff. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway or a tranquil retreat, the Maca Bana will not disappoint.

Came here for dinner at the Aquarium. Had lunch here the day before. Menu is decent and the customer service can be better. Crazy steep hill at the entrance but the views from behind are spectacular.
