Couldn't find a cutting board. A little too dark in the kitchen/livingroom. Pool and hot tub were dirty.Loved the space and location and the art in the apartment was fabulous

The pool was clean and great for a quick dip, especially after a soak in the hot tub. The hot tub temperature was perfect and all the jets in order. The Makolea is far enough away from the chain stores (walmart, costco...) traffic, but close enough to them for a shopping trip whenever something is needed. We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope to do so soon.

A perfect location for snorkelers; you can easily walk to one of the best snorkeling sites on the island. A great pool and hot tub that were never busy and just outside your door. Very comfortable place to stay, and the owners did a great job of outfitting the condo with everything you need, from kitchen tools to beach accessories. Dinner on the balcony amongst the green trees was special too.
