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

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed our two day stay at the Makena Beack Resort. Every staff person we encountered took the time to assist us in every way possible. They were well trained and went the extra mile to ensure we were having an excellent visit. The property has recently been totally upgraded. A great beach and all the... 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

Just returned from a very nice stay at the renovated Maui Beach Resort. The hotel is at the end of the road in West Maui so the setting is quite quiet. That's exactly what we were seeking for a 3 night golf escape. We stayed in a partial ocean view room at the newly renovated hotel -- the room was... More

What a great property. I booked just one night via Hotwire for a business trip. Just $158 a night, which is kind of as good as it gets for a three and a half star hotel on Maui, even in November. The place was gorgeous--comfy rooms, nicely kept grounds. Super pretty. Bikes you could check out and ride around the... More

I wanted to ride in an outrigger canoe and this was the only place on Maui that provided this experience. I was so excited to find that not only did I get to experience and participate in the outrigger canoe ride, but also had a narrative of the Hawaiian culture given by the star of the theatre play Uleana!

Beautiful hotel, staff was very helpful. This hotel is a bit far from most attractions but if you are going to relax, this is the place! Went with a few girlfriends and we had an amazing time. I would definitely stay here again! More
