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

i just spent a week at the new Makena Beach & Golf Resort in Makena, Maui and the hotel used to be the old Maui Prince Hotel. With a recent change in management, I wasn't really sure what to expect but was I pleasantly surprised!!! My visit started with an authentic Hawaiian greeting from the front desk team and beautiful... more

Know that this hotel is now the "Mekena Beach and Golf Resort" ( http://www.makenaresortmaui.com/ ). The management company changed this week. Service was still what you would expect from a resort, so only the name and purse strings are different. Overall, it could use a few millions dollars in a makeover. The outside needed paint, and there are visible small... more

So we were a little nervous what we would find when we got here, after hearing some of the reviews about dated furnishings and the fact it was going into foreclosure. We were pleasently surprised. Although the furnishings were not brand new, they were clean and functional as was the rooms themselves. The ocean view was great with good views... more

Considered the "Last Resort" on a string of South Beach resorts, the Maui Prince sits on a beautiful part of the island. It's surrounded by a wonderfully maintained tropical garden and zen garden. Most rooms will have a partial view of the ocean, we recommend going for a full view... it's worth it. The rooms are nice, basic, beds and... more

Simply stated, I was very disappointed with this hotel. I booked here because I gambled with naming my own price on Priceline. I was skeptical when I viewed the website, but was willing to give it a chance. However, it was not at all the caliber of resort my family desired for our vacation. I also feel we overpaid because... more
