Till next time. ZEBRA.”
“We usually do boat trips but now I’m getting older (51) comfort is nearly as important as good waves. Here at maccas, there are plenty of ways to get comfortable, from “Rannis” relaxing massage by the pool to cooling down with a bintang or 6 in the pool. The staff are “all” superfriendly and nothing is a problem for them. The view from my room (4) was great, your own personal balcony is great. The most important thing “the wave” (maccas) was great with its long rippable walls to its intense barrel. Whether it’s 3 foot or 8 foot still great fun and not too scary. I had a great time and I will be back. Mark H.”

“Macas, It has been neat. Every day had something to offer, no matter if there were waves or not. I haven’t worn shoes since I checked in 2,5 weeks ago and it’s been a foot-odor-free goofy footer’s dream. I ALMOST extended my stay but came to my senses and definitely made the wrong decision to leave as planned. Between hanging out with old amigos and new, it’s been the vacation of a lifetime. Eghardt, thank you for introducing me to Macas, I leave this place with a very heavy heart, it will not be the last time. As the terminator said “I’ll be back”. Yeeeeep Tobias.”
“Mini Macas, I came by myself but I don’t think I did a single thing by myself . The community here is the best part. Fish fingers with the gals then trying out Mini Macas was such a highlight.
