"ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! This was my first time in Maui and I must commend Makena Beach & Golf resort!!! We had a marvelous time spending our vacation here!!!
The staff was outstanding, friendly, courteous, effecient and helpful in every way! Our favorite bartender was terrific!! Don't loose him!
The rooms were outstanding, clean and had a view to die for!!
We enjoyed the fact that this resort is away for the usual hub bub of tourists, nice and quiet at night and full of fun during the day. If you want some of the hub bub, only 30-45 minutes away, which we did frequently during the day. Alot of the ocean excursions go out of Lahaina...fun little oceanfront town!
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Makena Beach and Golf Resort!!!
We will be back!!!!!!!"

"The staff cleaning the rooms was very friendly, same for the reception staff.
The ladies at the information desk could put more effort into their job. I was told that there was no availability for car rentals. But I called Kihei Rent a car and had a rental vehicle booked for the next day within 15 min.
The beach was great, just a short walk to the big beach."

"Very, very over priced! The continental breakfast is just a big joke! It was disgusting! The breakfast buffet was way over priced, who the heck eats $25.00 worth of food for breakfast!! I refused to cater to that much overpricing. Even the dinners are ridiculous! Comeon, get some ordinary food in there already!"

BookIt.com Verified Traveler Jomy from Houston, Tx

"My wife and I decided to come to Maui, HI to celebrate our honeymoon there. After deliberating on where to stay, we decided to go to Makena. We were very impressed with our overall stay there. The breakfast was a buffet, and had a wide selection, needless to say we always found something to eat and were often full from breakfast that we didn't need to eat lunch. In the evening, our stay was very nice. After a long day, we would typically enjoy our dinner on the balcony where we can see the sunset along with the waves crashing along the beach, it was an ideal spot for our honeymoon. Sometimes, if late enough, when we would hang out outside at our balcony, we can actually see deers eating. Two cons about this place; 1) Its location was far from most places and 2) no microwave in the room. But if you are looking for a serene and quiet place (which we were), then this place is for you. Having no microwave was not that big of a deal, but it would have been nice to have a microwave, especially if you had left overs and you wanted to reheat some food. Overall, I would highly recommend Makena to anyone who wants to spend their honeymoon in Hawaii."

"We loved our trip here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Water was turned off periodically for resort repairs but that was my only complaint. Equipment and activities are available for rent at the resort and adjoining beach: great bonus."

"The rooms are lovely. The pool is fabulous and the poolside snacks are reasonable. Golf here is VERY expensive. The restaurants are VERY expensive.
One of the best things about this resort is proximity to the beach-it's a two minute walk from the pool and the snorkeling is great."
