Makaha Hotels with Swimming Pool

"Great staff, great breakfast. "

"Great breakfast. Some outlets in room were loose. "

"We had an amazing family vacation at Aulani! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, and check‑in was quick and easy. The resort is truly designed for families — there were so many activities for the kids, and plenty of things for adults to enjoy as well. Getting around was simple, and it was easy to explore outside the hotel without dealing with traffic. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after long days of fun. We loved our stay and would absolutely recommend Aulani. We’re already hoping to make this an annual tradition!"

"We have stayed in the Ko Olina area at a number of resorts. The Four Seasons was hands down the best of all experiences. The staff members were exceptional. The amenities are unmatched. Truly a trip of a lifetime for our family."

"Beautiful Grounds, but Marred by Timeshare Tactics and Poor Food The Atmosphere & Grounds I’ll start with the positives: the grounds are immaculate and the rooms are well-appointed. The staff is clearly well-trained in managing large crowds, and for those seeking a high-energy vacation club environment, this may be a dream. The Service Experience However, my experience was deeply disappointing. We booked this stay to break up a long journey from Thailand and New Zealand and to mark our 40th wedding anniversary. After a grueling red-eye flight, we were looking for the resort experience one expects at this price point. Instead, we felt "trapped" in a perpetual sales pitch. When we sought technical assistance with the resort’s app at the welcome desk, we weren't given a solution; instead, we were met with a misleading high-pressure invitation to a timeshare presentation. I would never have booked this location had it been clearly disclosed that the priority here is timeshare sales rather than guest relaxation. Dining & Health Issues The logistical hurdles with the app meant we missed out on reservations for the main restaurant. We turned to the pool grill, where I ordered a BBQ sandwich that arrived dry and burnt. Regrettably, I ate it anyway—an error that cost me the next two days of my trip due to illness. Final Verdict While the property is physically beautiful, the "hotel food" warnings I received were an understatement, and the aggressive sales culture ruined it."
