The description and location were accurate, and Barbera was very friendly and helpful The beach was beautiful, great sunsets, and totally uncrowded.. From the lanai we saw whales, dolphins and turtles every day. Be sure to bring good binoculars as this will enhance your experience. The location on the leeward/west side of Oahu is totally different from Honolulu. Do not expect parties and throngs of people, this is local Hawaii with emphasis on Aloha Spirit and direct contact with locals. They were extremely helpful and polite. Reminder. You will be treated as you treat them. These people are the soul of Hawaii, and their love of nature and people is great. The cabana has been very tastefully updated with new cabinets, countertops, tile, and appliances..Well equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie board, towels etc. BYO snorkling gear. Homeless people are an issue everywhere. In Makaha this is also true, but they are neat and clean. Loved it, Brah!!
