Let me preface this by saying while I love to read reviews, I never write them, but my husband and I fell in love with this resort and I was inspired. I will not bore you with the details, but needless to say my husband and I were not having the best day after arriving at the Honolulu Airport at... More

This hotel is great. We stayed April 21st -May 2nd. The hotel grounds are very nice, beach is great, and rooms are nice. The Hotel is a bit of a drive to go anywhere but for us that was the appeal. It is about a 10 minute drive to wailea and 20 minutes to kihei. We had the package that... More

The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. The rooms are of average size and clean, but appears old but newly painted over. Airconditioning was not working very well. We had to ask someone to come over and take a look. It improved a little bit after that, but not by much. Breakfast was a bit of a hassle.... More

We loved every minute of our stay at Makena. Everyone we met there, from bell hops, to valets, to waiters, were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful, and you will not find a better beach in Maui for swimming or snorkeling. We saw turtles every time we went into the water. The breakfast buffet is so amazing, we... More

We spent 4 nights here, and loved the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Our room was fine - decorated nicely enough, and clean enough, with a great view of the ocean. We loved leaving the sliding doors open and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. The only negative was that the bed was very soft (not in a good... More

My husband and I stayed at Makena May 4-11 and we absolutely fell in love with it! It was our first visit to Maui and before we booked our stay at Makena, we seriously thought about staying at the Sheraton. The free breakfast buffet, the waived resort and parking fees swayed us to pick Makena and we were so glad... More

Makena Beach and Golf Resort is not the fanciest place on Maui, but the location and the staff make up for any needed upgrades. Beach is great, golf course is super, pool probably needs to be upgraded, but suffices. food choices at the property are a little sparse, but what they do have it pretty good. I was only there...

Our stay was brief, but amazing. Room was extremely clean and the breeze was so pleasant we never turned on the air conditioning. The courtyard was beautiful with towering trees and a koi pond where numerous fish roamed the water. Pool was small, but very clean and we noticed it was thoroughly cleaned each morning around sunrise. The jogging trail... More

We go to this hotel every Mother's Day for their excellent brunch. We weren't disappointed, it gets better every year. We also appreciate the recent updates to the property. The layout of the resort is very friendly and so is the staff. If you want a feel for the relaxed and lovely feeling of old Hawaii this is the place.... More
