Hotels in Makalawena with star-rating

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?
The best time to visit Makalawena is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to November, when the weather is consistently pleasant, and the area is less crowded.

These periods offer warm temperatures, typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, making it ideal for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities. 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.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Makalawena.
How much is the nightly rate at a Makalawena hotel?
Prices for hotels in Makalawena often vary, but you can find a great deal from $229 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
