“Awesome Hotel!!!”
My husband and I stayed at the Maui Prince in July 2009 and we couldn't have asked for a better hotel! The room was great and the staff was so friendly. The view from our lanai was spectacular. The beach was awesome and the hotel provides towels and beach chairs for guests to use - that was a plus! We ate at the Molokini Bar & Grille in the hotel for dinner one of our nights and the food is delicious and the sunset views are beautiful. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Maui!
“Makena Beach and Golf Resort”
We loved this hotel. It is clean, the food is top notch, you are close to the beach and shopping. Don't forget your many choices for golf. We would definitely stay here again!
“Great Resort!”
The Maui Prince is a great place to stay. Rooms have been recently renovated. It's a quiet and secluded resort away from the busy crowded streets. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The pool and beach are wonderful. The resort food is also very good. You must attend the resort luau..wonderful entertainment. We will definitely go back!
“The best resort in Maui to relax.”
We had a King Size bed in the Honu room. Awesome view of the beach! Also, you have an awesome view of Mt. Haleakala from the resort. The room wasn't as big as I had imagined, but it was large enough. Besides, we spent most of our time out doing things. The resort had plenty of things for you to do if you aren't up for driving that day (massage specialists, one of the best beaches that is NOT overrun by tourists, luau, golf, etc). The staff was very accomodating and friendly. They have many services, too. I had a suit that needed dry cleaning and a good pressing. They picked it up from my room around 9 am, and it was back in my room that night when we got back. About 10 min drive from some nice shopping centers and some great restaurants. The one downside is the eateries at this resort. My wife loved the pizza, and their other dishes were okay. Not bad. But for the price, not the best. You can eat cheaper and better driving 10-15 minutes. All in all, the resort is located in a quiter area of the island, which was perfect for us. The view is unrivalled. The staff is friendly and will take care of you. I would definitely go back to this resort.
“Makena Beach and goft resort”
Extremely satisfied
“Would return to this hotel and recommend it to others.”
Rooms were large with great balconies. The beach front along this hotel was fantastic. Pool was nice. The open air foyer was large and beautiful. It felt like paradise. The hotel never felt crowded; very low key and relaxing.
“Maui Prince is outstanding !”
Maui Prince was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a nice resort for our honeymoon. Something a little private, out of the way, not alot of kids or noisy spring break types. Maui Prince delivered. The hotel grounds are stunning. The beach and view is beautiful. Very friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't be happier with our experience.
“Paradise”
Out of this world, friendly,beautiful,relaxing,it has been over ten years since I felt so welcomed and relaxed. Maui Prince is not only a five star to me it's a "ten".This vacation was my life's best. We will be going back yearly, to relax and rekindle our spirits.Life the way it should be..
“We will return, soon!”
My husband and I had such a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely friendly, and helpful. The beach was only steps away from our hotel, and the hotel offered activiteis at a fair price. I would recommend a snorkel cruise on the Kai Kanai. In short we couldn't have had a better stay anywhere but the Maui Prince!
“Best value in Maui”
This hotel has the feel of the nicest resorts in Maui, and it's even located in the most luxurious area on the island for hotels (Wailea and Makena are right next to each other). The staff is always there for you, ready to pamper you whenever you need it. You can't go wrong with the scenery at the Maui Prince in any room you stay in. We stayed in a partial ocean view room, and had a nice view of the golf course and lawn area where the luau was, and it was gorgeous. The center of the hotel is as lush with plant life as anywhere on the island, and check it out at sunset, as many birds from the local area come here to rest. The only drawback we saw was that the shower could have been cleaner on the walls, but even then it was not that bad at all. I'd recommend the Maui Prince to anyone.
