Service can make or break a hotel and the folks at this Hotel get customer service! Nichol at the front desk moved us twice when my wife wanted more of an ocean view. Most folks give you lip service and an "I'll try attitude" then do nothing to help. Not Nichol! She took care of us! Roey the concierge was... More

No, I didn't come here to play golf. I came to be lazy. I came here to be pampered. I came here to do as little as possible. With the excellent staff of the hotel I succeeded in all of these things. Once again, I splurged on myself and had valet parking. More

We stayed at the Makena Beach & Golf Resort during our stay on Maui and it was a great choice. The property is gorgeous and our room had a wonderful view of the pool area and the ocean. The room was spacious and had all the amenities. I appreciated the separate shower and having lots of room around the sink... More

I stayed at Makena for a week in January. I came with a couple of friends who were attending a convention in Wailea, and chose the hotel mainly considering the distance to the Grand Wailea hotel and the price. Prices are extortionary in Wailea. Having visited the other properties and comparing them to Makena Beach and Golf Resort, I actually... More

Aloha Reviewer. We thank you for your frank review. We are sorry to hear that our resort has fallen short of your expectations, the Makena Beach & Golf Resort provides a Maui vacation very different from our neighbors up the road as you suggested. The property is not meant to be an ultra luxury hotel but is throwback to an... More

We are not resort types, but the Makena Beach and Golf Resort was wonderful. We had a partial ocean view room, and it was lovely. Thanks to the peaceful location of the resort we were able to keep our 6 foot wide sliding door open all night to the cool ocean breezes and sounds. Our room looked over the golf... More

The place was beautiful especially since the recent renovations. Other hotels in the area are more expensive, and the Makena resort offered so much more than I expected for the price. Great for small families. Rooms were nice, make sure to get an ocean view. Short walk to their private beach which has some of the best snorkeling on the... More

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
