"Very nice room location with a great view of the ocean and pool area. We were in the main building in the middle. Rooms and public areas are looking a little worn and are in need of a refresh. Food and drinks were very good! Ahi tostada was excellent with super fresh fish and the beef was delicious as well. Pool was very nice and location for sunsets was excellent. Bar location and drinks are excellent! Entertainment at the bar was exceptional with famous Hawaiian singers on Thursday nights. We got to see Ledward Kaapana!"

"The property itself was next level, I was excited to stay. Very well maintained, clean and very much a resort vibe, not just another hotel. Staff were friendly, room was clean with a comfortable bed, pool was amazing and all situated right on the beach. My only complaint was the food, what was described on the menu was different from what I got, and the manager wasn't accommodating at all. Besides that though, 10 out of 10."

"I reserved a n oceanfront room and after traveling 6,000 miles we were put in a room with partial view of the ocean. This was very upsetting especially because I paid extra. We met two other people who had the same exact experience and they come annually. It would have been a perfect experience if the room was full oceanfront. We were told “ocean view” is not “oceanfront so I’d call several times to be sure."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic vacation here. The resort was beautiful, relaxing, great staff and service. We had several amazing dinners at Moana, the New York strip was phenomenal, grilled prawns were delicious, the house sourdough bread was on point, wine selection was good. Breakfast at Moana was also great, the French toast and the omelette should not be passed up. We also had dinner at the four seasons one night and it was not even close to being as good as Moana. The beach is a relaxing vibe, never felt crowded, just a serene view with relaxing waves to listen to, we had lunch and drinks at the shipwreck bar, grilled fish Baja tacos and ceviche with Island lagers really nailed it. They have a complimentary coffee bar open at 530 am with fresh fruit and the chocolate croissant was delicious , we did that every morning and worked out in the gym which has everything you need. Only comments which are not really complaints but could be improved, dinner at Kahuwai cookhouse could be better, the burger didn’t really impress for the price, bbq oysters also didn’t impress, needed more flavor on both, seems a missed opportunity for them to not have wood fired pizza or just a more bbq over fire focused menu, we would have loved that. Overall I would give it a 10/10, we will come back and plan to visit other Rosewood resorts after this."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makalawena?
The best areas for staying near Makalawena are along the Kohala Coast, particularly in resorts around Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach.These resort areas are designed for convenience and quality, offering a range of accommodations from luxury hotels to vacation rentals. They provide easy access to dining, shopping, and high-end amenities like golf courses and spas. While Makalawena Beach itself is undeveloped and requires a bit of effort to reach, staying nearby means you have comfortable lodging after a day of exploring the natural beauty.For couples seeking a relaxing and upscale retreat, the resorts in the Mauna Lani area are an excellent fit. This area is known for its beautiful beachfront properties, fine dining options, and recreational activities like golf and snorkeling.

This district features larger resorts with amenities suited for all ages, including expansive pools, diverse dining options, and cultural activities.
When is the best time to go to Makalawena?
