1. Recommend this hotel if you can get it for good price and can overlook their shortcomings (mostly the oldness and cost cutting).

3. Overall, I would NEVER recommend this hotel, because I know that for $50-$100 more a night you can upgrade to a much better quality hotel which would greatly impact your travel experience.

7. We highly recommend the Makena Beach and Golf Resort, but since we only stayed there two nights we did not get a chance to take advantage of the spectacular golf course, beach side massages, and hotel dining that were closed the nights we were there.
