The condo was big (900 sq ft) and well furnished, a bargain at 66% of the daily price posted on the wall, but there were reasons for the relatively low rate. It was last decorated in the 80's, judging by the decor. There was no A/C. The MBR suite sink porceline was broken under the faucet. But the major drawback was the location: . The building was the farthest one from the parking area and the only mostly stair-free path was quite long. The unit was on the first floor (a stairway down from ground level) next to a spot popular for viewing sunrise/sunset on an elevated point of the shoreline. People gathering there were unaware or uncaring that their conversations carried directly through the open windows (remember, no A/C) into the bedrooms and living room of the condo. My opinion was that the unit was unsalable, so it was the primary or only rental unit. BTW, two BR, two baths (one in MBR suite), full kitchen and living room.

I stayed here while in Hawaii for my sister's wedding. The view was spectacular, the people were very nice, and the condos were spacious and very clean. Some of the condos were more family friendly than others, but I supposed that's because each condo is independently own and ultimately fits the life style of its owner, I was traveling with my five year old, so it was nice to see find some beach toys in the laundry closets to BORROW so I didn't have to buy new ones and try to figure out where I was going to store it for the trip home. We did donate a child size tube floaty thing that we brought with us. The breeze from the tradewinds were wonderful for cooling down the unit with the ceiling fans depending on your condo's location there was a tremendous amount of cooling breezes coming thu with the door propped open as there aren't any air conditioners. Didn't see one fly or get bit by one mosquito. It was amazing I had to ask if there were mosquitoes in Hawaii.lol. Not having a/c when you needed it or when it was too hot in the unit that didn't get much wind was the only downside, but it still gets a top rating because if you got too hot the pool was plenty cold and Poipu beach was just right down the road, walking distance, and the price was amazing as well. It was a hop, skip and a jump from the the Hyatt which is where my sis got married. We walked with no problem.I would definitely recommend it and would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay, and we appreciated the later check out for a small fee.

The condos are located right on the ocean...beautiful location. But some of the units can be extremely uncomfortable. Some of the buildings block the breeze and none of the units have air conditioning....the result was that the first unit we had the afternoon temperatures in the condo were in the high 80's with humidity felt like 100 degrees. Fortunately there was construction going on next door (numerous remodel projects were being undertaken)....so we were reassigned a "superior" view unit...and it was and was able to catch the breeze....the difference was amazing. The staff was very helpful and accomodating...so if you get one of these sub-par units...I recommend going immediately to the staff.

Do not stay here. The room was filthy. There was mold in the room, dishes with food on them, and bedrooms drapes that did not clothes allowing anyone passing by to see into the bedroom. Very disappointed that someone would rent a room that was so poorly maintained.

OK, I didn't book the condo but was very surprised! It's amazing. Each is decorated differently as each is owned by different person - you can see e.g. different chairs on the balconies. We didn't have air condition - not sure if this is standard but we didn't mind. I really liked the place we stayed in and I think even though the condos are not the same, the quality must be similar. There were two body boards and three beach chairs in the cupboard! I liked the pool with whirlpool outside. Also the beach which is about 5 minutes drive/10-15 minutes walk is nice - you can snorkel there too - we saw a turtle. I saw a cockroach n our room but the problem is being tackled by professional company.

First of all, the hotel is simply known as the Makahuena forget the Castle part as the locals do not recognize this. This is a run down over priced hotel. We only stayed two nights and in that time had to have maintenance out twice to fix problems; Fab in Bedroom would not work properly, lights in the main bathroom would not work and we could not have the internet as promised as the repairs take 24 hrs plus. If you are considering this hotel, FORGET it unless they are charging only $25 a night.

The two bedroom suite we had, had everything needed to make for a nice stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, there was a computer connection, and the TV was a great flat screen. The hotel is approximately a 15 minute walk from the beach. Two possible drawbacks encountered included distance to a local grocery and mosquitos.

ホテルの場所はとにかく最高です。宿泊したのはオーシャンフロントで、モーニングコーヒーを飲みながらなんとクジラのジャンプが見ることができました。しかし、建物の老朽化は隠せません。2階の足音はよく聞こえるし、ラナイへ出る窓のサッシの戸車が壊れていてスムーズニ開きません。大人二人でやっとの思いで開けたとおもったら、今度は閉まりません。当然鍵も壊れていましたし、つっかえ棒で夜は寝ました。ハワイ13回目にしてはじめての経験でしたが、これもハワイスタイルと思い宿泊しました。やはり安いものには何かあるんですかね？
