Makiki Forest Recreation Area Tours and Activities

The room wasn’t great. We had to pull the bed out to get at plug ins. There was only one luggage rack and no room for two suitcases (and we only had carryons) in the bedroom. It was good there was a dresser, I unpacked into that. Many large gaps in the flooring. The kitchen was very minimally stocked, not even a plug for the sink to properly wash dishes or a washcloth to wipe up. One of the outside bar stools was so rickety as to be unusable and a shelf in the bathroom was coming out of the wall. Plus there are gaps behind the shelves so stuff can fall through. Hot water for the shower was basically non existent. We had it cranked to full hot every time and never had to turn it down. A couple of times it was lukewarm at best. Can only assume there’s a regulator of some kind because the taps for the sinks had hotter water. Lighting at night is lacking as well as room direction signage. Knowing where to find our room in the dark the first night was a challenge. All that said, the lobby area was great, banana bread, coffee, fruit and water dispenser wonderful. Having use of kayaks, the floating dock area and hot tub (a little small) were also great features and the views absolutely gorgeous. Staff were friendly and helpful, cleanliness and parking not an issue for us. Would we come back? Hmm, not sure.

The room was clean and as expected. The view was pretty and the pool area was really nice. The reason we booked here is they include free parking which was great. A short walk to the beach and so many places to eat and shop close by. Our family of 4 really enjoyed it.

Affordable and close to the beach
