We stayed at the Makai Inn in Feb 2009 after finding out about the Inn in Fodor's Maui. Most of the criticisms I have read here and in other travel books and sites are accurate. Our biggest problem was the almost absurd infatuation with being quiet in and around the Inn. Suzie, the proprietor is nice and accommodating, however, when... more

This place is absolutely wonderful! The owners, the gardens and the view are all spectacular. We look forward to our visit again in 2009. :) more

If you are looking for a HD giant screen TV or a hi-teck communications system, then this is not the place for you. Heck there are not even phones in the rooms. But if you want to be only steps away from the ocean in a cosy, cute 1950's-type inn, then you should check this place out. We loved having... more

We booked this place for 4 nights after hearing good things about it from a friend. Based on his advice, we took 1 of the 4 corner units and weren't disappointed at all. The view from the patio / balcony are awesome and made every morning / evening worth it. Throughout the night you could hear the gentle waves splash... more

This hotel is perfectly situated on the Lahaina waterfront a little bit out of town but only a short drive into Lahaina, or a few minute drive in the other direction to Ka'anapali. Beware: NO NOISE is allowed to be made at this hotel. The Lahaina Canery Mall is situated just down the road and contains shopping, an ABC store,... more

I had a 9 day stay in Maui with my sister and her 18y/o daughter. We started out with a few nights at the Sheraton which was nice but we decided to change hotels after 5 nights. We talked to a local and they recommended the Makai Inn. We called and they had a room available so we booked it.... more

This is a small, non-chain inn just outside of Lahaina town center. Reasonably inexpensive, clean, but older. "Apartments" are very small, but adequate for 1 or 2 people max. All units have older "island" decor. Small kitchen with small, gas stove and full sized refrigerator has disposal and limited cooking utensils. Some units has dedicated lanais, but most do not.... more

Just came across this place while driving down the road, looking for a place. I checked it out. The folks running the place were cool people, and the garden and view were lovely. The room was clean enough, and I liked the homey feel (stuffed animal on bed, lots of knick-knacks around.) However, when bedtime came around, I found it... more

We stayed in the Hibiscus Hideaway for a week in the middle of May. We were two adults with a 14-month baby/toddler in Maui for a wedding. We chose the Makai Inn ahead of time mainly because of the price being so low. I was pleasantly surprised when I called and found out tax was included in the price on... more
