1. those are minor issues, compared to a gorgeous private beach, an attentive and gracious staff, the tropical central garden/koi pond area, the very nice rooms with fabulous views with spacious balconies, the incredibly comfortable beds and pillows, and the beautiful serene gardens with that great secluded Makena feel.

2. This may not be an issue to some visitors, but I like to go to Hawaii for the beach and ocean, so I missed not having the scenic ocean views that most of the hotels in Hawaii take advantage of.
