Mākaha Valley Holidays from AU$1,477

A few hours before check in, I got a text informing that there will be no power at the hotel until 7pm, due to the city working on the power. That means no lights or AC until the power turns back on. I know it is not the hotel's fault so I was okay about it and didn't ask for compensation. I was able to check in and drop my stuff off in my room. Thankfully there was 2 elevators working; thanks to their backup generators. I went exploring and shopping until 7:30pm to make sure the power was working. My room number was 1022. It had a fantastic view. The place was quiet and secure. In fact, it was so quiet that I thought i was the only person on my floor and wing. The room needs some refurbishing, Particularly the bathroom. The shower was not cleaned, there was a shaver and a used wash towel on the shower handle. The vanity inside was dusty..I had to dust it to use it. Caulking on the shower pan was in pieces and water was going in. It will be a matter of time before the water will damage the bathroom floor. In the kitchen, a piece of wood trimming fell by itself. I couldn't figure out where it came from. I left it in the closet for maintenance. Turns out it was the trim for the dishwasher...which we had no dishwasher soap provided. The switch to the garbage disposal was on. I assumed it was left on during the power outage. Upon looking under the sink, there is NO garbage disposal! Overall, I liked the location of this resort. Very walkable.

Odd request to turn off AC everytime we leave the unit..we like to come back from a beach day to a cold place. Pillows were the worst. Great location and close to many restaurants

Great location and amazing views. Clean and quiet. Bonus was the Steak Shack on ground level!

The room was clean when we got to the hotel, but housekeeping did not clean them when they were supposed to during our stay. We did not have nor did we pay for an ocean view. We had a city view which was nice. The front desk staff were good to us but housekeeping were rude people.

The room was ok. Parking was easy. Noisy every morning between 4 to 6am to collect trash and drop off items
