Dining
- Cafe On the Green
- You don't have to be a hungry golfer to dine at the Makena Golf Course's Caf on the Green. Anybody can ride the free shuttle up to the golf course for a dining experience that combines stunning views with great food. Blue ocean vistas, emerald golf greens and casual al fresco dining on the trellised veranda are the hallmarks of this establishment. Hearty sandwiches, fresh garden salads, small plates, and an assortment of cocktails and beverages define the menu. Pau Hana happy hour specials on beer, mai tais, and a tempting array of appetizers are offered daily from 4 until 6 p.m. It's the best place to watch a glorious sunset on Maui!
- Molokini Bar and Grille
- This Maui landmark is known for serving Western comfort foods with culinary creativity. Paniolo favorites like South Maui barbeque ribs dripping in a homemade sauce, molasses glazed hanging tender, and rack of lamb with poha berry demi glace are served with a gourmet's flare. From the sea, fresh, fresh, fresh opakapaka and mahi mahi are sauted with a mango buerre blanc or perhaps, a lemongrass butter. Lighter fare like artisan pizza, an assortment of small plates, and the famous Molokini Bar & Grille Da Kine burger made with Smokehouse Farm cheddar and applewood bacon will "broke da mouth" (as we say in Hawaii.) Live music makes this a great place for drinks and small plates at the bar, or leisurely family dinners in the dining room. Chef McDowell recommends the ahi carpaccio as a starterserved with chunky ginger avocado, Kaffir lime parfait, and a South Pacific splash! Nice wine menu, too! Bon Appetit!
- Cafe Kiowai
- This delightful open-air dining area overlooks the koi fishpond and beautiful Japanese gardens with stunning waterfall and stream features. Every day is a wonderful day when you start with a hearty breakfast from the Caf Kiowai buffet or try something new from the a la carte menu. Fresh fruits and juices. Homemade banana bread. Made-to-order omelets and waffles. The array of items is intoxicating and changes seasonally. Light eater? Then order a continental breakfast buffet option, instead. Service here is fast, friendly, and designed to get you quickly on your way to golf, tennis, whale watching, or beach activities. Aloha Kakahiaka!
- In Room Dining
- Enjoy the luxury of breakfast in bed or the privacy of lunch or dinner service on your lanai (balcony). Or maybe you just want snacks and cold drinks while you watch your favorite sports game on your in-room flat screen TV.
- Sunday Brunch
- Voted "Best Brunch on Maui," Sunday Brunch at Makena Beach & Golf Resort is a feast fit for Ali'i or royalty. It's the best value for Sunday brunch on the island. Eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes, carving station with prime rib and whole roasted Kalua pig, made-to-order omelet station, an assortment of garden salads, fresh baked muffins, pastries, and desserts, sweet ripe melons, papayas and pineapples. You won't be disappointed!
- Poolside Snack Bar
- No shoes, no shirt? No problem! The Pool Snack Bar & Grill is just the place for barefoot and bikini-clad picnics by the pool or late afternoon cocktails and snacks. The Pool Bar & Grill is just perfect for oh-so-casual seaside dining. Heading to the beach? Grab a take-out lunch for a beachside soiree. The kid-friendly menu features grilled favorites and specialty pizzas fresh from the charcoal grill and brick pizza oven on site, as well as farm-fresh salads and tempting finger foods. Quench your thirst with a variety of frozen daiquiris, margaritas, and designer cocktails.

The complimentary breakfast was terrific! Our first room did have ants which the hotel acknowledged that it has from time to time. We did change rooms and had no further issues though we did take precautions (not leaving sugary drinks out for example). However, this was the only negative (and the staff was very accommodating when notified of this problem). The snorkeling in the ocean right outside the hotel was incredible! The hotel also had a table tennis table outside which was fun as well as a putt putt course on actual grass. Both were complimentary and nice additions to our stay. The rooms were nice, but not over the top. A few more paintings to break up the monochrome walls. The atrium area was absolutely gorgeous as well. It was fun feeding the fishes each morning after breakfast as well. Overall, a wonderful stay!!

The staff was so helpful and met our every request. They always had a smile and Aloha and seemed to be very happy to keep us happy. The pillows were fluffed and the brass around the elevator buttons was shiny!

Great Stay
We had a great stay at this hotel. The view was great. This was one of the better areas to stay on the island. The breakfast buffet was excellent. They definitely need to update there website because it looks sort of outdated and doesn't do it justice. It is a great value compared to the other 4 star resorts on the island.

Great location and value
4 out of 6 stars for sure.We would return given acceptable pricing. All rooms have a partial ocean view so this aspect you gotta love. We had to clean off our deck chairs and table due to a residue on the surface so use caution if you plan to sit outside right away without checking. Other than that the rooms seemed clean and in good order, and maids did a great job! Valet was on the ball as was pool staff and reception.

Great Hotel
The following is my opinion of the hotel: The resort is beautiful, as most are in Hawaii. The rooms are nice, but not spectacular. Our King room was fine for my wife and I. The view was excellent. I think there is only so much you can say about a hotel room itself. If it is clean, well organized and comfortable, it is a winner. This one was. What does not show up in the reviews is how great the facilities are. The beach is awesome. It is not crowded, and you can snorkel directly to pacific coral reef right from the beach. There are 5' sea turtles living right off the beach, and findable every single day. Great stuff, and FREE. I highly suggest purchasing quality gear and not renting. The rental equipment is nice, but you'll end up paying about the same if you stay a week, and when you buy a decent salesperson will fit your mask and gear correctly. Money well spent. The food was good. Not overly expensive (by East Coast standards). I opted for the breakfast package which was a waste. You are basically just paying in advance. Don't limit yourself to eating at the hotel every morning. The breakfast buffet was great. The pool is relatively small and not particularly kid friendly. Great for us since we left the kids at home. Tennis courts are great, and we are tennis players. Don't play golf so no review of that. The BIG deal: I lost my Rolex watch. I called the hotel and inquired after I had left. Behold, three days after I got home, the hotel manager called, found the watch, and sent it Fedex to my home. Words can't describe how awesome that is. The staff really went above and beyond on this one. They could have easily kept it, but returned it to me promptly. This is a very delightful, quiet, romatic resort. It will always have my business.

Stayed 7 nights and it was great every step of the way. You are right on the beach and there is plenty of activities around to do with spectacular views to boot.
