8/10 Good
"Facility is a bit outdated. Loved the power/heated toilet! Bathtub was significantly chipped and has seen better days. Room was good sized, bathroom was nice. In-room mini fridge and coffee service was a plus. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The 'adult' pool is in the middle of the buildings, which means it gets VERY limited sun. The 'everyone' pool is shallow--I don't think it got above 3.5 or 4 feet--and the water temp was in the 90s. The sandy zero-depth entry for the kids spread pebbles everywhere, not fund for us old folks who don't walk around outside that often with no shoes on, and especially not on rocks."

"I was very pleased with this resort. My favorite part was the private lagoon area. I had a partial ocean view room that was lovely. Listening to the ocean waves as I fell asleep was memorable. My only peeve was: I walked to town specifically to grab a coffee then enjoy breakfast at the resort. The waitress told me I could not have an outside drink. She was quite rude. I ended up having breakfast elsewhere. Not a big deal but I think that was a bit excessive. Other than one rude staff member all the others were so kind and helpful. Danny (one of the pool attendant) was great. And recommended water shoes to avoid foot injuries in the lagoon. He was right!! (Thank you Danny) I would definitely stay here again!"

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. It provides a luxurious base from which to explore the island, including Makalawena's pristine shores.Families will find the Waikoloa Beach Resort area particularly accommodating. 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?

You'll experience less rainfall and calmer ocean conditions, superb for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. This time is particularly good for couples seeking a tranquil and unhurried escape, as they can enjoy the natural beauty without the peak season crowds.While December to March is also popular for its cooler, drier weather, it coincides with peak tourist season, leading to higher prices and more people. Families traveling with children might find the shoulder seasons more appealing due to better availability of accommodations and a more relaxed pace.
