For Thanksgiving / my birthday, we found a week long stay at a hotel in Makaha available for a great price on Facebook - so, we booked it! Our family has not spent too much time over there, but it seemed like an "easy" staycation. So, we packed up all of our important gear (i.e. coffee maker, steamer, rice cooker, etc.) and moved into our week-long getaway.
Being that it is the "west side"... we weren't sure what to expect with this place and we kept our expectations reasonably low. Boy were we wrong - the hotel was perfect. It was basically a one-bedroom apartment with a full (small) kitchen and a lanai that overlooked the ocean. There was a (cold) pool and a (hot) hot tub right on the beach. And, the snorkeling right out in front of the hotel was pretty incredible.
Our view from the lanai was so insane that we basically spent every meal out there. And, once we were done eating, we frequency found ourselves just sitting and staring out at the ocean for minutes on end.
Gordy's cousins happened to be in town while we were holidaying, so we got to spend a few days doing cousin / family time - Gordy could not be more in love with his two older cousins :)
All in all, we were all a little sad to leave our west side hotel, but we do plan to visit it again in the future. It was an incredibly relaxing stay and it exceeded all of our expectations.
