Excellent service. The views and the pool are the reasons to stay here. It might be budget motel accommodation, but cant complain with a full kitchen in unit and the beach step from my sliding door. We had an excellent time and enjoyed our weekend immensely!

I've stayed at the Makia many times over the last 6 years.
My wife has been staying with them over the past 40 years.
The building is showing its age.. the owners are doing their best to keep up with it.. the newly remodeled kitchen & breakfast area looks great.
Our room was clean.. maintaince had to replace the refrigerator during our stay.
The view of the beach was great! Our bed very comfortable. Hotel.com said hotel was pet friendly but did not tell us there is a $25.00 per day charge for pets. Even for service dogs .
Would I choose the Makia again? Most definitely!

Third world country stay...the place was dilapidated, dirty, my partner received bites over both legs, we think the bedding. We were ground floor Ocean Front, with a patio that smelled like urine...
I have never had a more beautiful view and access to the ocean...complete opposite of the facilities...

Absolute horrible experience. I stay in about 70 hotels a year. This by far was my worst experience. First night there I'm sleeping it's midnight and a whole family barges through the front door. The front desk gave them the wrong room here I am at midnight sleeping and tired my first night there naked in bed and someone barges through my front door. Second night it rains outside the back door floods the bathroom walls are leaking in the front door floods and there's no towels because they're washing all the towels apparently. Not one time in the 4 days I was there could you find parking you have over a hundred rooms and you only have roughly 30 parking spots everybody else has to park across the street. Mind you this is a very busy street this is a five-lane highway so you have to carry your stuff across the street when you're getting there and carry your stuff across the street when you leave. None of this will make a difference to most of you that are reading this if you're broke you'll stay here with the rest of the broke families that will literally go put this $100 night hotel on their credit card just so they can stay on the beach and the utilize the pool. Understand you would not be the only broke family doing this The pool is designed for 20 people and the entire time I was there it had every family that was here inside the pool area absolutely the most horrible experience I've ever experienced in my entire life

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was nice and knowledgable. It was the first hotel that I've been to the actually served more than a continental breakfast for breakfast at a fair price which was right on the beach. No complaints here.

Better than last time but still needs renovations.
I stayed here a few years back and had a horrible extent this time was better. The room was clean, service was good. The room we were in was in need of repair, the front door and bathroom door had to be slammed to close. The kitchen cabinet doors didn’t close and there was 1 fork in the kitchen. Breakfast needs eggs added back.

We stay at Makai 3 to 4 times per year. Beach is easily accessible. Within reasonable walking distance to some restaurants. The front desk personnel is welcoming. Shout out to Lisa! Breakfast is ok, could use more fresh fruit options. Pool is great, my kids had a blast! Of course with all and any hotel, it does need updating but for the price, ya can’t beat it. See ya in November!
