Makana Penthouse FAQs
What does the Makana Penthouse look out over, and is the view worth the upgrade?
The suite’s private terrace frames sweeping ocean views over Hanalei Bay, one of only three penthouse-level terraces at the resort. For guests who want an elevated, top-floor vantage point over the bay rather than a garden or partial view, this is the room built for it.
How are the beds arranged and who does this suite sleep comfortably?
The two-bedroom layout makes it well suited to a family sharing one penthouse rather than booking connecting rooms.
Does the room have outdoor space, and how is it typically used?
Yes, the penthouse opens onto an expansive private terrace that extends the living space outdoors, making it a natural spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down while looking out over Hanalei Bay.
What is the bathroom experience like in the Makana Penthouse?
Guests get separate rain showers paired with Bamford bath products, reflecting the same spa-grade wellness focus found throughout the resort’s Bamford Wellness Spa program.
How does the Makana Penthouse compare with the Nāpali House Suite one tier down?
The Nāpali House Suite offers a single king bedroom, kitchenette and private terrace in roughly 1,800 sq. ft., while the Makana Penthouse steps up to 2,400 sq. ft. with two king bedrooms, a private dining room and a separate living room, making it the larger, more self-contained option of the two.
What is actually included for guests booking this category?
As part of the Retreat Collection, the Makana Penthouse comes with resort credit, a complimentary spa treatment, daily breakfast, dedicated VIP service and roundtrip airport transportation, on top of the complimentary in-room minibar.
Is this suite better suited to families, couples or a longer stay?
With two separate king bedrooms and a private dining room, the layout is designed for families or two couples traveling together who want their own space rather than sharing one bedroom, while still functioning well for an extended, slower-paced stay.
Since meals aren't included beyond breakfast, what does that mean for planning a stay here?
1 Hotel Hanalei Bay operates as a luxury wellness resort rather than an all-inclusive property, so aside from the daily breakfast included in the Retreat Collection, other meals are ordered separately, whether from in-room dining or the resort’s restaurants.
What should guests know about the Makana Penthouse that isn't obvious from the room name?
Beyond the two bedrooms, the suite’s separate living and dining rooms make it function like a private residence rather than a standard hotel room, which is part of why it’s regarded as the top accommodation at the resort.
