Spacious and Comfortable

I absolutely loved the room I stayed in at Makena Beach & Golf Resort. It was large, with big, comfortable beds and a huge lanai that offered excellent views. It was perfect for relaxing after a day spent at the beach.

Fantastic Snorkeling Experience

I had the most amazing snorkeling experience just off the beach at the resort! The coral reefs were teeming with life, and I even spotted several sea turtles. It was truly an lovely aquatic adventure!

My stay at the Maui Prince was truly a hidden paradise! The hotel's circular design, surrounded by lush gardens and waterfalls, created a serene atmosphere. The location right on Makena beach was perfect for tranquil beach days. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they could use some modernization. The dining options were limited, which was a bit disappointing, but the overall experience was relaxing and laid-back. Although there was some noise from nearby construction, it didn’t detract much from my stay. I can't wait to come back to this lovely spot!

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, which boasts a fantastic location right on beautiful Makena beach. The ocean view room on the top floor was a treat, and the peaceful ambiance perfectly complemented our anniversary celebration. However, the rooms could use a bit of an upgrade, and the absence of dining options on-site was noticeable. Overall, considering the value we received, it's hard to beat this place!

Our stay at Maui Prince was incredible, with stunning views and a serene beach atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we loved the peaceful location, perfect for a romantic getaway. However, the snorkeling gear was very overpriced at the hotel, and the journey to shopping and luaus took about an hour. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to start our honeymoon.
