We were told not to expect anything fancy and that it was a very modest Posada, etc, but upon arrival we immediately found it lovely! We were very nicely welcomed, we hadn't had any lunch at 3:30pm and they prepared something right away. The whole posada has a very nice feeling, the rooms are big enough and it's righ in... More

After carefully researching options this posada was one of the best in Los Roques, the reservation process took care of air and accomodation, the service from the food to personalized attention was amazing. Being so boutique I suggest you bring ear plugs to rest assure a quiet morning otherwise you will hear noise from early workers.

My wife and I have been visited Macanao Lodge over 8 years, and can properly say that it is the single most consistent high-care service provider on the isand. Staff well prepared, and kind. The location is one of the most convenient. Rooms full of details, from linen quality to wooden floors. If you are in for an amazing trip... More

My husband and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. The rooms didn't have air conditioning but we had hot water. We also were met at the airport and were warmly received. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Every day of our stay we were dropped on tiny island that we had to ourselves with a cooler of... More

My experience was amazing, the hotel is beautiful, but you do have to keep in mind that is a Posada, not a 5 star resort. The fact that the rooms do not have A.C. can be a problem, but before we were told before making the reservation. We had hot water, and service was excellent, Everyone in this posada made... More

Forget about this place, it has no A/C and no hot water. The rooms are plagued with mosquitoes. I count more than 20 bites in two nights, though I slept rolled in a mosquito net. The lady in charge (Marilu) made our experience even worst, she has a NO as answer to everything. Los Roques is a wonderful place and... More

We stayed at the Macanao Lodge for two nights and simply felt like a King and a Queen. As soon as we got to the island there was someone waiting for us at the "airport" to help us with our luggage. At arrival to the hotel, a nice lady was also waiting for us (who by the way spoke perfect... More

I'm writing on behalf of all us four, Betta (me!), Antonio (my husband), Carmen and Alfonso... I really want to thank you and your staff for the beautiful holiday and the fantastic stay at the Macanao Lodge. Los Roques is probably one of the best places in the whole world and that is a matter of fact but a holiday... More

Having stayed two weeks at the Macanao Lodge I was afforded many opportunities to familiarize myself with the staff and lodge. The architecture of the lodge is very beautiful, so are the views from the dining room and roof patio. The rooms are small but have high ceilings giving one an illusion of having a more spacious room. Unlike most... More

We just spent a week at Los Roques, staying at the Macanao Lodge. We had looked into staying at several others; La Gaviota, Natura Viva, Mediterraneo and Acquarela. A venezuelan friend who was going to be joining us had heard that Macanao was well worth the extra cost as it was reported to be far and away the best posada... More
