Vacations Close To Banzai Pipeline

When we first arrived we were disappointment by the condition of the property. It could use some attention and a remodel. The staff though was great, amazing location, and after a day it grew on us. Our room overlooked a pretty filthy rooftop which was not great, but our room was clean and just what we needed. The AC system is small and not great but compared to not having AC at all it cooled the room up after a couple of days. Thankfully there were also fans. Overall we had a great stay and would return. Parking is a nightmare in the area and expensive for overnight parking and nearly impossible to find street parking.

The resort itself was very nice, we just had a room (51) that was in need of repair and cleaning. I know there was flooding earlier in the season that may have accounted for our buckled, peeling and rotting floors, and doors that were falling apart, but it wasn’t what I was expecting without notice and the option to cancel. Staff responded quickly when asked to clean the dirty cabinets and repair the jammed closet door and staples that were sticking out of the bedroom door. Our biggest disappointment was the air conditioning. The photos clearly show an AC in each bedroom, but our unit had only one noisy, old unit in the living room which necessitated leaving bedroom doors open (awkward when traveling as two couples) and never cooled the bedrooms well enough to be comfortable. Kitchen was convenient, banana bread at breakfast was yummy, beds were comfortable and staff were friendly. Just don’t be surprised if your room is much older and more poorly maintained than the photos.

This is a pretty new house that is located up in Mākaha Valley. It has a beautiful view of the mountains above the valley. It is only a short drive down to the local surfing beach as well as other local beaches. Our party of six was very comfortable here.
