Villa Makai is located on the second floor in the beautiful, gated Kolea community, and we absolutely loved our stay!The condo has a peekaboo ocean view from the balcony. The location is fantastic—just a two-minute walk to the pool, with the beach right beyond it.The condo itself is upscale, beautifully and tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we needed. We weren't particularly interested in cooking during our vacation, but for those who are, the kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with cooking utensils, condiments etc.One thing we especially appreciated was how fresh the condo smelled. We've stayed in other upscale accommodations in Hawaii that still had a musty smell due to the humidity. Not this one! Everything felt fresh, clean, and very well maintained.There are also two shopping centers within walking distance, offering plenty of dining options, shops, and convenient places to pick up groceries.The Kolea infinity pool was absolutely superb! It was spacious, beautifully maintained, and, best of all, HEATED! There is also a wonderful hot tub, and both offer lovely ocean views. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time there.We had complimentary passes to the nearby Hilton resort and decided to check it out one morning, but we quickly left. The pool water was freezing cold, the lounge chairs were stained, and the overall experience simply couldn't compare to what we had at Kolea. We highly recommend Villa Makai !
