Name:Makai Beach Lodge
Type:motel
Street:707 S. Atlantic Ave
City:Ormond Beach
State:FL
Zip:
country:USA
Phone:
Status:operational

Description:
The Makai was originally built in 1952 but was updated to the Polynesian style in 1965 with other additions through the years. An amazing roof line greets the motel guest. A large moai sits out in front of the lobby and a Tiki sits atop the Makai sign. Many elements of the decor seem to have survived through the years. I beleive a Tiki still sits inside the lobby near the stairway to the second floor. I am still gathering information so if anyone has any history to add please do. A special thank you too Tiki-Kiliki for letting me post some of her great photos from a 2006 visit. I'll have them posted in a bit. Thanks.
