The service is what sets the Makena apart from the other resort-themed hotels on Maui. Shell necklaces at check in, cookies in the room, fresh pineapple slices and cold water served poolside and small bags of food to feed the fish at breakfast are a few of the small touches that make a stay at the Makena memorable. The grounds... More

Everything we expected and more. Beautiful beach, rooms, service and a wonderful breakfeast buffet. Ron at the front desk went the extra mile to make sure his guests were completely satisified. In all my years staying at hotels I never met a front desk person to be as acommadating as Ron. More

We spent the first 2 days of our 10 day vacation on Maui at this beautiful resort. Our room was a panoramic ocean view and boy was it ever! Amazing views of Molokini, Lanai, sunsets, and whales. Loved listening to the crash of the ocean on the beach during the night. Service was great, golf accommodations superb, grounds beautiful, and... More

We had a blast this past January in Maui. Staying at the Makena Golf & Beach resort for just four days, we were treated to amazing views, quiet private beach, top quality accommodation and very helpful staff. The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable, and the balcony was a nice touch for those mountain and beach views. Great location /... More

We traveled for 19 days in Hawaii and this was one of our favorite resorts. This hotel is an excellent value. We stayed for 2 nights. One of the aspects we enjoyed was that Staff people were thoughtful and extra considerate but they did NOT seem to be fishing for gratuity constantly. In fact, we did not see people offer... More

Small and quiet. Nice beach. Reasonably priced. What really sets this place apart though is the staff. In my case, I needed a quiet place for a few hours. Without any fuss, they just gave me access to a conference room. The guys at the beach had fun entertaining our kid and telling us old Hawaiian stories. The internet connection,... More

I've stayed here four times already, I love it but every time I go it seems the front desk employees are rude and unfriendly outside out checking in. Everything else is great. The staff and hostess in the cafe on the floor level is my favorite place to eat on the island. I'll go back even if I don't stay... More

WE booked on line and the place is beautiful. When we checked in we ahd a whistling in the door, and they sent a maintenance man to fix it promptly. The breakfast was incredible. The pool however was cold....sooo cold you couldnt stay in longer than 10 minutes. The larger pool has a ladder to get in with no steps,... More
