Makena Vacations from $675

Good amenities, good neighborhood. If you are willing to drive some distance then this place works great as you can walk to the Napili and Kapalua beaches.

Great view , room had anything we needed. Staff wonderful. Nice location. Small resort feel.

Yes it's secluded. Yes it is a large property that requires a lot of walking. The rooms are slightly dated. It's all made up by the attention and care from the staff at the Ritz. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon. We were treated with the utmost care from the kind folks there. The property is well manicured and clean. The pools were fun and the golf cart ride for the long walk to the beach is a must. Unfortunately we left with a slight sour note at the end of the trip. I left my Nike Dri-Fit hoodie in the armoire the entire time during my stay... Never took it out, and only had it there for the weather back home. Although it was my mistake, I left my sweater behind. I contacted the hotel an hour after I checked out. And somehow, the staff "did not locate" the sweater. It was frustrating to have to keep asking for updates for a sweater. Until lost and found finally admitted they didn't find a sweater.

The good: Beach is amazing including the snorkeling. Store has everything you need, a little more expensive but not ridiculous. The bad: weird check-in and service. The rooms are obviously managed by different companies. Front desk isn't necessarily your main contact. They call someone else. The 'B' rooms are tiny......only enough room to sleep. No ice....have to buy it for $5 per bag at the store. Overall, we'd come back to this area but not sure if we would do the 'B' room.

Bed was uncomfortable.
