The Maui Prince Hotel, no longer princely. On my third visit to the Maui Prentice in November of 2009, I see the most radical transition of all in any of the nonperforming assets in the Prince portfolio. The downgrade from the Aveda bodycare products found in the toilets was a notable first sign of distress. While the replacements are functional,... more

Clean quiet hotel. I didn't see a speck of dirt anywhere except the beach. My room was impeccable. Freshly shampooed carpet, spotless bathrooms, clean lanais. The corridor tile was even super clean. Get one of the suites. It's as big as an apartment and totally worth the money. Stay here, you won't be disappointed! more

The location and property were very nice, the beach was amazing and the view fantastic. The people who worked there were very friendly and polite, but I could not get over the dirty feeling of the room we were in. The bathroom felt like it needed a deep cleaning and the carpets, well lets just say I was uncomfortable taking... more

We spent our 5 day honeymoon @ Makena Beach & Golf Resort. I was dissapointed with how outdated the inside of the hotel was especially the room. The pictures must have been from 20 years ago or photo shopped. It is a very private location with beautiful views of the pacific ocean. The staff is amazing! But if your looking... more

My wife and I originally booked for 6 nights but after 24 hours decided to stay a further 3 days , and never regretted it. We had originally booked while the hotel was still Maui Prince but there were no problems , and the friendly staff were very helpful and efficient. We had Ocean view rooms which were good with... more

Do not expect a 4-star hotel when booking. This hotel is on a great property but the hotel lacks upkeep. I have stayed at other 4-star hotels and this hotel does not compare at all. At most this hotel is a 3 star but the location is great. The rooms are old and have not been updated for over 10... more

If you want a hotel that is private this is it !!. Great staff, Great beds, Great beach, Great snorkling. Twenty yards of shore you are swiming with 300 pound turtles and dolphins. The turtles come to this area to get their shells cleaned by the local fish that are all around. Maybe 20-25 minutes from airport. You MUST and... more

My husband and I decided on a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We booked the trip through American Airlines Vacations in January, for travel in September. We chose the “4-Star” vacation package, which included 4 nights at the Maui Prince in Makena, and 3 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu. Throughout the time from... more

Filthy, bugs and critters everywhere!!!! at $500 us a night I felt robbed. The staff? extraodinarily unfriendly, didn't speak enough english to help and those that did speak it didn't know anything. Hope you don't get hungry often because the restuarants only open three times a day for a couple of short hours, don't be late for dinner at 5... more

AWFUL!
