Do not expect a 4-star hotel when booking. This hotel is on a great property but the hotel lacks upkeep. I have stayed at other 4-star hotels and this hotel does not compare at all. At most this hotel is a 3 star but the location is great. The rooms are old and have not been updated for over 10... more

If you want a hotel that is private this is it !!. Great staff, Great beds, Great beach, Great snorkling. Twenty yards of shore you are swiming with 300 pound turtles and dolphins. The turtles come to this area to get their shells cleaned by the local fish that are all around. Maybe 20-25 minutes from airport. You MUST and... more

My husband and I decided on a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We booked the trip through American Airlines Vacations in January, for travel in September. We chose the “4-Star” vacation package, which included 4 nights at the Maui Prince in Makena, and 3 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu. Throughout the time from... more

Filthy, bugs and critters everywhere!!!! at $500 us a night I felt robbed. The staff? extraodinarily unfriendly, didn't speak enough english to help and those that did speak it didn't know anything.

My wife and I were recently married on Maui, and stayed at Makena Beach and golf resort from Oct 5th to Oct 9th. We stayed in an Ocean Front room (picture of view enclosed) and the room was excellent, although it could use a little updating. Here’s the down-low you need to know: If you have a Hawaii ID, you... more

Formerly known as the Maui Prince (and the hotel had just switched over during our stay, so some of the signage hadn't been updated yet), this simple and elegant hotel has an amazing beach and we enjoyed the best genuinely warm service we have EVER received at any hotel. Makena Beach is perfect...nice sandy beach, great swimming, snorkeling on either... more

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Makena Resort with one of my friends. We stayed at the resort for 4 days/5 nights from Oct 4th-8th, and it was wonderful!! We have always spent alot of time reviewing hotels in any place that we choose to visit, and so it was a tough decision on where to stay... more

My wife and I just returned from a week in Maui, where I participated in the Maui Marathon. 3 nights at the Hyatt Regency, Kaanapali and 4 nights at the Makena Resort. We had booked the Makena Resort through Orbitz in July and obtained a good deal; approximately $280/night for an ocean view room. The hotel is in the southern... more
