Dear Linda.

Overall, I can tell you that the villa, staff, setting and help with planning were fantastic. Everyone raved about the whole trip. Here are a few specifics.

If we could have brought the staff home with us we would have. Kayla cooks extremely well, and her personality and laughter were contagious. We asked her to cook local foods; we can get hamburgers and pasta at home. The kids loved it as well as the adults. Devon, the butler, is a such a sweet, gentle, caring man. He did anything and everything for us and we loved talking to him. Every time we turned around he was there to help, to make sure we were comfortable and to accommodate us in every way. We all fell in love! Roydel is also a really nice, sweet man who was especially helpful with the kids. They always wanted to play tennis with him or have him make "smoothies" at the bar. We all appreciated what he did for us but he made a special connection with the kids and that was great! Also very attentive to the kids was Henry, who helped them at the beach by taking them kayaking and snorkeling. He initiated excursions in the water and was very, very nice and helpful to all of us. The housekeepers, assistant cook and laundress were fabulous and they met our every need.

We will definitely recommend Linda Smith and Makana Villa. We have a few more places in the world to visit, but we will be back!

Dear Linda,

Unbelievable!!! The staff at this house goes above and beyond the call of duty. It was an incredible experience. I can’t say enough about the house or the staff. Fantastic! We will never forget this trip. Thank you!

Dear Linda,

This is a beautiful property! The staff is well-trained, courteous, and there to meet needs. Food quality and preparation was outstanding! Devon was particularly good, helped with kids and anticipated needs. We plan to book again.

Dear Linda,

The staff and services were far above our expectations. Because of the staff’s hospitality, we will return to this villa. The villa is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Thank you for making our vacation most memorable!

Dear Linda,

Everyone was absolutely lovely to us everyday in every way! The accommodations were beautiful and immaculately kept. We couldn’t have been happier!

Dear Linda,

It was great to have the whole staff out front to greet us as we disembarked our van. Their welcoming greeting was warm and friendly. Such smiles! They were wonderful about our needs and wants. When something we liked was gone it was immediately replaced. The staff made this vacation!

Dear Linda,

Everything is of such high quality throughout the property and we received excellent service from all the staff. If we had a villa, we would want the staff from Makana there!

Dear Linda,

The staff was pleasant, accommodating, helpful and friendly. They couldn't have been nicer to us or the children.
We are going to recommend this villa to our friends and we will be back.
The house is great but the staff is even greater!!
