ATC Makena Holdings, LLC, owners of the 1,800 acre Makena Resort, announced the closure of the 310 room Makena Beach & Golf Resort, formerly the Maui Prince Hotel, as of 12 noon July 1, 2016.

As planned, the future of the site includes the development of the Makena Golf & Beach Club, managed by Discovery Land Company.

Declan McCarthy, General Manager of the hotel, said in the official announcement to staff, “The foundation of Makena Beach & Golf Resort has always been its employees, many of whom have been working at the property for over twenty years. Our ‘Ohana has attained a level of service that has been well recognized within the islands and around the world as attentive, welcoming and sincere. You should stand proud of what you have achieved.”

McCarthy explains the upcoming process further by stating, “Our attention will be closely focused on the employees of the hotel over the coming weeks to ensure that they are receiving the assistance that they need as we work through the closure of the hotel. The planning process has been underway for some time now and included early employee notifications, planned training on resume writing, interviewing skills and job search tools. We will work closely with County and State government agencies for assistance and have already begun planning a job fair at the hotel in the near future.”
