This used to be the Sheraton Makaha Resort. The owner sold the resort and, in the process, ended the management agreement with Sheraton about 10 years ago.
The hotel is about a 45 minute drive from the airport in Honolulu midway up
the west coast of the island. When you get to Makaha, make a right turn and head up into the hills for about half a mile. It's in a quiet residential area. Although the hotel is not on a beach there is a public beach and parking available in town.
The hotel is best known for it's golf facilities. The scenic coarse is
surrounded by lush hills. The rooms, unless there have been any renovations,
are nothing fancy.
Makaha is outside the tourist zone. When I was there, the choice
for food was either eating at the hotel or going to one of the small
shopping centers in the nearby town of Waianae for Chinese fast food takeout. There is no nightlife and things get very quiet after dark. The nearest area with a larger selection of restaurants is Ko Olina which is mid way between the Makaha and the airport. To reach most of the sightseeing on Oahu, you'll need to drive back into Honolulu and beyond. Be prepared to start and end the day with an hour plus drive to find areas
of interest.
