The room at Makana’s was very comfortable. Fan and slatted windows kept us cool on warm nights. Makana kindly shared a coconut and some lychees with us, as well as letting us use his beach umbrella and lounge chairs in the backyard when we asked. He left us to our own devices for the rest of the time. It may be a different vibe sharing the bathroom with a housemate opposite your room but she was away. It’s very close to Princeville to walk to supermarket and in a very nice neighbourhood. We drove the short drive to Hanalei Bay each morning for breakfast and people watching.
