Hawaiian Princess Makaha

We loved everything about our stay. The Condo was pristine with all the linens available for 4 people. The Beach was empty except for guests from the condos. The ocean was exciting with medium waves coming in. If you don't get out soon enough you might get hit. I still have sand in my swimsuit.

Absolutely gorgeous location & fantastic unit with an great patio to enjoy morning coffee, afternoon lunch and of course a great sunset. With all the positives I would not stay here again for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that it is not convenient to get to the North Shore. In all my research I did not realize the road going North is not open for traffic. It still appears as a road on maps but apparently it has been washed out so many times they decided to to repair the road. So you had to go 30 minutes south then go 30 more minutes to go North. That was an hour of travel time (on a good day & time of day)to get to the North Shore. A second negative was the amount of homeless tent cities. The majority of local beaches in that area were taken over by the homeless, not a place for tourists. I will add that there were no problems on the beach at this hotel. It was a very beautiful beach and quiet beach. The waves were large so great if you want to be daring and body surf or boogie board, not so great for little kids or just floating. If you are looking for quiet and have no plans to travel around the island this could be a good choice.

Beautiful view, right on the beach. We had a lovely stay. The laundry in the unit was great. Our unit was a small upgrade studio. The beach, although beautiful, was not kid/senior friendly. The waves were big, and it wasn't easy for me to get in and out of the water. All the rooms are oceanfront. Parking was tight at night, but we always found a spot. The location is far from honolulu so you must rent a car. I would stay here again but, hubby said it's to far from everything. He won't like to book here again. There was not enough places to eat near by. If you're looking to lay on the beach or by the pool with a book, this might be for you.

Charming one bedroom condo with spectacular ocean front view and beach. The sound of the waves and beautiful sunsets, gated access, elevator, complete kitchen, washer and dryer all added up to just what we needed.
