Castle at Makahuena at Poipu

We loved the spectacular ocean view. Great sunrises, the best beaches in the world. We had such a great time. Kitchen was very well stocked. Washer/Dryer in unit. Fabulous covered lanai. Dream vacation for us. 2 couples easily shared the generous and beautiful spot. Great staff.

Very pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed the pool and great view from the various look-outs. Quiet, homey, no beach but a short walk to 2 popular beaches.

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.

Great hotel, well maintained. The oceanview room we had was amazing. The kitchen had plenty of tools and kitchenware so it was easy to eat in. Bed was comfortable.

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.
