This condo was spacious with all the right toys included for a vacationer. Beach chairs, boogie boards, binoculars and even snorkel gear. No beach on property though and the pool was out-shadowed by the hotel pool next door having weddings. Kitchen was clean and supplied with all the right appliances and utensils. Overall an excellent space to relax on Maui.

Aloha; Thank you so much for staying with us. We love that the owner had all the fun toys for vacationing. We have no beach right in front however lots of beaches and bays within a few minute walk or drive sounds like you enjoyed your relaxing vacation. We hope to host another stay for you soon. Mahalo,

The property location was perfect! It was only a 5 minute drive to whaler's village and Napili bay, and about 10 minutes to downtown Lahaina. There were plenty of beaching within a 5 minute drive as well. Loved the oceanfront room, left the sliding glass door cracked and could hear the waves. Our room had beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and a cooler, which came in handy. The room is a little outdated, nothing fancy, but very clean. If you are looking for a luxury hotel feel, this is not it. Although, for the price it is hard to beat! We were a little worried about how comfortable the hideaway bed was going to be, but we were pleasantly surprised. All and all a very satisfying stay!

3 star property on a five star location

Pros: location, beach front, free parking, no resort fees and very short walk from car to your door which is unlike most properties in Maui
Don't be misled by the very old picture - this hotel no longer has any beach sand at all - just water splashing on rocks that you cannot climb down safely on - now on the other hand if you want beach front, it's hard to beat this location - virtually nothing between you and the water not even some stupid tress blocking your view. Inside it's a 3 star room but it's clean and the private lanai is wonderful to have your meals on or just hang out. Cannot suntan on your lanai; Ask for a room higher up - at least 5th floor or higher for best view

Aloha Chris; Thank you so much for the review we appreciate your input. The water is definitely on the high side right now and getting to the beach from our front walkway can be difficult however we have a wonderful access at the front of our property where you can easily get to the board walk that has many access points to the beach you do have to walk about 5 minutes. We do have a great swimming pool location in the front of the property where you can lounge and get that suntan without leaving the Maui Kai. It sounds like you had a good stay and we would love to have you back soon just give us a call.

Old building with zero beauty

Honestly, that was my worst experience, When I saw the resort's pictures in the website and the fact that has a full kitchen, I be never thought that the pictures could be fake! This is the old, not clean building, with no landscape attractions. It's too close to ocean that doesn't give you enough space to even sit and look at the wavy ocean in front of you. The beach is not good for swimming and you have drive few miles to the closest beach park to swim. Because of the poor resort condition, I took the family to Honolulu to stay 3 days there, when we came back, they even haven't bothered to clean the unit. It's totally worse place to stay, I rather to stay in motel 6 but not there anymore. Just for further info, I attached the real photos to the review. The pictures in the website for resort introduction ,can not be real !
