If you want quiet, convenience and a killer view, this is a great place. If you are looking for a 24 hour party, or you have loud children, stay away. We had a 'garden view' room, it was only garden view because I had to stand up to look at the ocean. No beach access, but several lanais where we... More

We had a room on 2nd floor with balcony overlooking the ocean. We spent a lot of the day sitting outside enjoying the view.The room was clean & tidy. I don't know where the person who claims to have stayed in January 2013 and found it dirty because it was not this Hotel. Our stay here was February 2013 and... More

Excellent spot - lets make this clear - this is a spot for a quiet vacation! Not very Maui-like to some, Im sure. Not a good spot to party, stay up late with other guests. For us, it was perfect. For 7 nights, we had the ocean to ourselves, all the neighbours were polite, friendly, and the owner was superbly... More

I stayed at the Makia in January of 2013. The room was not clean, the fridge had grime in it, the coffee pot filthy, the bath tub dirty, the sheets were worn and nubby, the towels clean but shabby, and no hot water when I wanted a shower midday. The location was good - a short walk to the Cannery... More

Positive things is the price, the location and that parking and wifi is complementary, negative thing is that the cleaning could have been better. Makai inn is running by a friendly and very helpfull couple and I don't understand the... More

I have travelled extensively for business and I have stayed in hundreds of motels, hotels and inns. This is the absolute I have ever seen. I have never seen such filth in one room. I arrived at 9:30 pm on a Saturday night. My first choice was booked up so I asked for suggestions and ended up at The Maikai... More

This is a really great place ( I can't think of more positive adjectives). We rented what was essentially a small one bedroom flat for a few days' stay on Lahaina. The service was very personal, but not invasive in any way. The proprietors are an older couple who provided us with a large carton of salt when we didn't... More

Well situated in Lahaina, 5 minute driving distance from downtown Lahaina. From outside, this hotel looks nice and welcoming. But once inside, it doesn't smell good, everything is old and dirty.
