Married couple in their 40's traveling with 12 year old son. We experienced great golf time as a couple. Resort staff was fantastic and very helpful for first time Hawaii visitors. There were plenty of activities for our son at the resort. I.e. ukulele lessons, tennis, basketball, exotic fruit tasting and pool activities. The resort is currently being upgraded and... more

This resort is in a very beautiful area. Very quiet ,away from all the bustle in Honolulu. However, the resort itself needs some work. First , we were promised a deluxe suite. What we got was a standard room. When i questioned that i was told that the only difference was that a deluxe room was upstairs...hmmm.. i doubt that.... more

This place was outdated and the staff were not very helpful. The area you have to drive through is terrible. Homeless all over the beaches. I found it disgusting. They did not move the people to the other side of the island. They are still there. There is a homeless shelter right in the area, but they chose to live... more

I stayed three nights at the Makaha in June 2008. It is a great place. It has the feel of a small resort. The rooms are clean and well upkept. The grounds are beautiful with lots of plumeria trees which were in bloom when we stayed. This place is off the beaten path and is not close to Waikki. I... more

We exchanged a timeshare to spend a week in Hawaii. While the resort grounds were very beautiful the rooms needed updating, but we didn't mind that and yes it was a walk to the parking lot but the golf carts were always available to take us back and forth and Tommy was wonderful to us. What upset us the most... more

My husband and I stayed here after slight hesitation due to the reviews on this site. We went to Hawaii to get married and stayed in Waikiki for our first two days. We wanted something more secluded for the honeymoon portion of our trip so we set it up to stay at the Makaha. We could not have been more... more

Mahaka resort, January, 2009. Just returned and will not return to this resort. The facilities need renovating, staff was not responsive to complaints. In fact, when staff was informed about our disappointment in accommodations, we were told that's just the way it is. When we made the reservations we were "guaranteed a certain type of accommodation". Upon arrival, we got... more

Ok, first the good things. The grounds are GORGEOUS!!! Very well maintained, very natural, surrounding mountains and beaches are great. Most (not all) of the staff were very friendly. Shuttle drivers were pleasant and very helpful. Food at the restaurant was good, but overpriced. Now the bad. WAY too far to walk to the parking lot. Our first night I... more

I read the bad reviews and thought it could not be that bad. Well please belive the reviews. Worse area in the island to many homeless and resentfull locals. Wow, what a disapointment, we left after our first night even though we had paid for a week in advance. The rooms, specially the carpets, were dirty. The beds are the... more
