Great views & nice pool. Could be cleaner & in better repair.
Nothing fancy but nice staff, clean room. Loved being right on the beach!
Place is old. Room had a musty smell. Pictures online were deceiving.
This hotel is great,clean, and a great view of the ocean
First, when Orbitz says has a view, don't assume it is ocean view. The staff said we had booked a non-ocean view room but was willing to upgrade at a fee till the manager ok'd it without an additional charge. The bed headboard lights were non-functional from a frayed wire and the air conditioner unit stopped working in the morning with an E1 display. The beds and towels were great. If it were not for the pleasantness of the staff, the hotel would have scored a 1 star. I hope they work on upgrading the hotel.
They have let the place go, it's a decent place to stay and room was clean but the place like many others in the Daytona area are getting run down.
I would not recommend this hotel for families vacation at all.
The room was clean. Nice view of ocean. Building in horrible condition. Visibly decaying, with holes in exterior. Elevator just plain scary. Towels were old and stained. Room was not sealed at all. Wind howled through doors all night. Parking cramped. Continental breakfast not good.
veiw is great , parking and room not so good, needs to be upgraded
We chose the king beach view room. These rooms are located at the south end of the property and are only 2 story buildings. We chose second floor which had an amazing view!!! We have stayed here twice in the past, we stayed in the bigger building with a city view, this room just ok. The second time was in the 2 story ocean view room which was great. Wifi was kind of spotty. 10am checkout kinda sucks. They gave until 11am which was good, they will let you checkout even later but there are additional charges. The pool and beach area were amazing!!! We will be returning soon!!!
Jacuzzi wasn't working. The couch in our room was bulky and the cushions kept sliding off. Bulky furniture, no place to put our luggage. Paint was peeling on the outside of the building and flapping in the wind. The continental breakfast was very poor. The staff was very helpful and welcoming.
Hotel location was perfect right off the beach beautiful Oceanview but the Hotel could use some major renovations and updates staff also could use some training in customer service also room service did not come to the room to change the towels or the sheets and we had to personally walk down to the front desk and give them are dirty towels in order to get clean ones
Very close to everything. Pet friendly. Nice staff
Great location, friendly staff but there were some cleanliness issues that should be addressed on a daily basis. For example, terrible eye sore of huge paint peeling spots in and all over the building, dusty, rust stains on every air unit, moldy spots behind the toilet and in the tile, chipped paint and sheet rock spots everywhere, and the worst thing was the pool. It was green and extremely foggy. You could actually see little unknown particles all in the water. Was pretty disturbing.
The Hotel was great.The breakfast was great.The location was perfect!! I will definitely be going back to the same hotel! !!
Booked an Oceanview & King Bed. Was told No Kings, & room on end-side of bldg., my view was outside & around bldg.Was told basically Take it or leave it...Room was filthy bug/roach feces every where, floor slimy, old, & reeked of a strong chemical smell (bug spray?) Sad, 'cause it was our 29th wedding anniversary ....
Last minute great location pretty clean room was cleaned daily breakfast was not much but cereal muffin bread and waffles
Staff was great. Only problem is facilities maintenance. I differently come back and recommend to family and friends.
We've stayed at the Makai on 3 different occasions. Each time the staff has been friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable, the view is spectacular, and the location is perfect. We get more than what we pay for at this hotel.
Room 202 was newly remodeled, and still smelled like paint. Plastic still around windows and doors. However the room had a large balcony facing the ocean, large fridge with freezer, microwave, hot plate, dishes and a very comfortable king size bed. Within walking distance if several restaurants and bars and only a few miles from Daytona Beach. Great value, would definitely stay again.
