“Best location in Kihei” Our stay at the Kamaole Nalu could not have been more perfect. The condo makes you feel like you stepped right into your own little home away from home. The amenities are just right. There are quite a few restaurants in walking distance from the condo. There are also. A few grocery stores in the area to choose from to stick your fridge for your stay. My family and I enjoyed listening to the ocean sounds from our condo. Everyday in the late afternoon the breeze picked up and blew through the condo for about an hour or so and offered the most refreshing cool down. Sleep with the windows open in the master and you're guaranteed the most soothing sleeping experience ever. The direct beach access was such a huge plus for us because most of our week long trip was spent swimming in the warm waters right outside our condo. We were in the waters as early as 7am on most days and it was complete paradise for us. We can't wait to go back and will most definitely be requesting this same unit for our stay.

“Maui memories” We were excited to be coming back back to Makena Surf after staying there two years ago and being so impressed with the unit and the beautiful surroundings back then. We were somewhat fearful that we could even come close to matching that same experience this time around, but this unit exceeded our expectations. We will be back in the near future.

“Our Favorite Resort in the Islands” We've been coming to Kameole Nalu for over 30 years. We have recommended it to many friends who also have enjoyed it. Unit 405 is OK but needs some painting. Our friends stayed in #506 which has been totally updated. Would definitely recommend either unit. The view and the snorkeling right outside your door are as good as it gets on Maui. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Don't miss "Da Kitchen" for a meal or two.

“very nice stay” We stayed in #404 for 5 days and loved the place. Especially the balcony, we almost lived out there. Large and amazing view. Fourth floor was nice because it seemed like you were close to the beach but just high enough for a reasonable amount of privacy. Also a great view from the bed in the master bedroom. The apartment was very well equipped too, all the little things that make you feel at home. Definitely want to go back.

“Great place but internet needs an upgrade” The place was great but the internet was down almost all week. Everything is booked online these days so it was rally a pain not to have this working. Please upgrade the internet since it definitely impacted our experience.

“Great stay-again!” For the past 15 years we have stayed at Kamaole Nalu. Always a pleasure and such great staff and service. Nothing is lacking and that is why we will return next October!

“A Pleasant Four Days” Rental was based on recommendations from two friends. It was beautiful; the location is outstanding. The walk to the beach is only about 50 feet from the edge of the building. The view from the apartment was excellent with a good view of the beach. The furnishings are attractive, and the kitchen has all the necessary equipment for light meals. Enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the waves come in. Worked well for grandparents, daughter and 20-month old grandchild.

“Wonderful location, great service” The condo was clean, wonderfully furnished, and offered adequate space for our family of six. We enjoyed the complex for its beautiful landscaping, grills, and easy access to the beach. We went in early December, and there were usually only a handful of other families out on the beach with us! The sand was soft and the water was perfect for body boarding and snorkeling-- we saw several giant sea turtles! We liked being in this quieter part of the island that was still close to interesting activities and dining. The staff at ali'i resorts was always cheerful and helpful. They helped me book snorkel and horseback riding trips. Housekeeping came in every day and replenished laundry detergent, towels, etc. I thought it was nice that a representative from ali'i met us at the condo for check in. He could show us around the unit and answer our questions (like where to get dinner!).

“Thanks So Much!” We had a great time. Also going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean right outside window WOW! The condo has a lot to offer, with a bathroom for each room and vanity area was a neat plus. The only concern was how the line of sight that others could see when they were on their balconies, if your curtain was open, it would be wise to be properly dressed because several times when you look up, you would see somebody looking at you. Our host Pat, Awesome!

“Pleasant stay” Stayed for 8 days at Sugar Beach Resort in Unit #330. Nice unit right on the ocean. Great way to start your day eating breakfast on the lanai watching the water. Unit was a one bedroom with a sofa bed. I was worried it would be two small for 2 adults and 2 kids but was roomy enough. Was surprised at how comfortable the kids said the sofa bed was. Have stayed elsewhere in the past in units that had horrible sofa beds so this was a pleasant surprise. Kitchen was just remodeled and everything worked great. Kihei is a great place to stay if you plan on exploring the island as it is centrally located. The resort office staff is not very friendly but all you have to deal with them is to get your parking pass so not a big deal. The ali'i staff who checked us in and talked to on the phone were very nice and took care of us well.

“Love the Nalu” We love the Nalu, have stayed many times, first time at this unit. Was too hot in July without A/C! (none are in this complex) Unit was updated nicely. Pool is getting re-tiled in August, that is a needed improvement.

“Amazing and Beautiful” Loved staying at this condo. Great accommodations, great services and support staff. The only odd thing was the power kept going out in the master bedroom/bathroom. Other than that, it was a 10!

“Maui trip” We went to Maui for a family wedding, and were booked into a condo by our travel agent. When we got there the condo was not to our liking. We were given the ali'i resorts to contact and they took care of us from start to finish booking us into the condo we wanted and needed. No muss no fuss, would definitely recommend them to our friends and family and anyone looking to visit Maui.

“Great accommodation for the price” Had a fantastic stay at the Sugar Beach Resort #518. Room has all necessities covered. Could use a little TLC in the bathroom area. Nothing too crazy and didn't impact our stay. View from the lanai is tremendous. Each morning of our stay we enjoyed a cup of coffee and each evening a glass of wine out on the lanai. Doesn't get much better than that. Location is good if you want to stay out of the tourist traps. Dina's Sand Witch shop is on site with great sandwiches and better cocktails. Short drive to restaurants and shops in Kihei. Would recommend this unit to the value traveler. This is not a five star resort but it is a great value.

“Sugar Beach Best” This is an awesome condo. I just wish there was more availability! Other owners at Sugar Beach should take notice of the remodel. If you haven't updated, you really should! The bathrooms at Sugar Beach are so small and if they aren't renovated, the experience is not great. Love the lightness of the paned doors for the bedroom. Many of the Sugar Beach bedrooms feel like caves. This one is light and bright. Plus, a TV in the bedroom. Bonus!!

“wonderful property, alii people very friendly and helpful” Was able to check in at 1:00 PM which was very helpful. The personnel from alii were, as usual very friendly and helpful. Condo comfortable and clean. Two bathrooms a good feature. Second year in this condo and reserved for next year.

“We love the whales” This is a really nice condo. Great views and nicely remodeled. It needs a new frig and toaster. Bathrooms and kitchens are great!!

“Bliss for 3 generations” This is our second visit to unit 214 at the Surfside and fourth time to the complex. We love this unit for many reasons, it's updated and spacious design, and comfortable furnishings. It's location at the quiet end of the building still provides an excellent view of the ocean and the mountains of west maui,while giving you morning sun on the deck and lots of privacy. The second floor makes it a short trip down to the ground floor. The unit is very comfortably appointed with a great kitchen and lots of privacy for everyone in our 3 generation group. We love the Surfside for it's location (the massive oceanfront exposure and huge manicured lawn can't be beat) as well as it's sense of community and great staff, free movie rentals, book library and use of bocce, croquet and shuffleboard. We will definitely be back.

“A wonderful stay” The people at ali'i Resorts went out of their way to make our stay in Maui a pleasant one. Their customer service is second to none. The unit was clean, they were there to help if we needed them and are a great group of people. I highly recommend using them any time you go to Maui

“Perfection in Paradise” Wailea is the perfect vacation location on Maui with swimming, snorkeling, sunning, kayaking, shopping, dining all within walking distance plus many great beaches within a short drive along with an interesting lava hike along the King's Highway at the end of the road. Elua #802 is a wonderful "home base", very comfortable, with all the amenities of home plus a lovely lanai with a beautiful ocean view - perfect for spotting spouting whales in February! This unit does require the use of stairs, if this is an issue, choose a first floor unit.

“All about the view” This place is a bit away from the action and requires one to get into the car for anything from restaurants to nicer public beaches. BUT the views are absolutely fantastic! Sitting down for dinner on our lanai was very special. The sunset was beautiful. The complex was nice with all that you really need: BBQs, Pool, small beach, etc... The unit is well located on the 4th floor to maximise the view. Although the Kitchen has been renovated some other aspects of the unit probably needs renovations. Everything is functional, but aesthetics are just OK. I would still highly recommend.

“Exquisite view, lovely appointments, needs new bed!” The good news: we only left this beautiful condo to jump into the water (in the ocean or the lovely pool), to go to yoga or for jogs, to get supplies or go out to eat! The view is stunning, the lanai couldn't be any closer to the water, has comfortable patio furniture and you have all the comforts of home. The kitchen and bathrooms are luxuriously appointed. After a slight confusion when we landed at the Kahului airport, we were even able to check in early on our arrival day. The only bad news, and the reason we couldn't give it five stars is the mattress in the master bedroom needs replacing. There are two huge, deep divots in the too-soft, too worn mattress. I hope that will be replaced soon, because when we come back to Makena Surf, we will definitely stay here. We've stayed in two other condos on the property, and this was the best!

“The view was fabulous, and we had a great time!” This was our third year at Kamaole Nalu but our first in #606. It is a very nice unit. We enjoyed the updated kitchen as we cooked in quite a bit. We recommended Kamaole Nalu to our daughter. Consequently, she and her family and our niece and her husband are staying in #606 at the end of June. It was a pleasant surprise to receive the very nice gift bag this year. We really enjoyed the treats. One of the best things about staying at Kamaole Nalu is Pat, the manager. She is so helpful and friendly! We always enjoy visiting with her when we return. Paul and Judy Kuter

“Fun In Maui” We had a fantastic time with the location of the condo to the beach and amenities. I was very happy with the management company and pat's professionalism and help. Go to eat across the road at Da kitchen for Causual local dining. Be prepared for early morning bird sounds to wake you. But enjoy the view of local species feeding at the neighbor's feeder. Seeing and hearing the ocean from the balcony made our stay even better. Great location for a family.

“Truely a wonderful time, morning, noon and night.” We were here two weeks, we loved our home on the beach. We would definitely stay in 329 again, we went walking on the beach everyday, twice a day. It was clean, and the maids came in once a week to change your linens for you. The best is waking up in the morning, having a cup of coffee and watching the whales you can see from your lanai. Great for a couple who wants a quiet get away together. Only complaint I have is it needs a new couch. Other than that you'll love it.

“Excellent! Excellent! excellent!” We have stayed in Unit #110 in 2013 and 2014 and we are already looking at our calendar for 2015 - the staff at ali'i Resorts are the best - from the time you call for a quote to the day you have finished your vacation they are there for you - the cleaning staff are excellent as well - this is a cement building so you do not hear anyone upstairs or beside you - being an end unit you have more privacy when eating outside on your lanai - if you need some shade this unit has a beautiful big palm tree to sit under right in front of your unit next to the ocean - this unit is located just off the highway coming from the airport and is centrally located for shopping including groceries - at Foodlands make sure you ask for a free customer card and you receive 10% off all your groceries - it never expires and we use our year after year - right across the street from the condo is a fruit and vegetable fresh market as well as an aBC store that is open until 11 PM every night if you have run out of milk, eggs, beer etc. The only thing that we mentioned to ali'i Resorts on this current trip is the matresses on the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom should be changed soon as they are not as firm as they used to be - the matress in the 1st bedroom is new and excellent - what we totally enjoy is the tranquility of the property and the cleanliness and the value for what you receive - my husband and I have very busy lives here at home and so it is sure nice to relax and have the ocean right there - you can't go wrong in renting this Unit.

“Great condo” The view is beautiful from the balcony. Walking distants to all kinds of shops. The condo has everything you need. Very nice condo and clean. Located on beach #2. You can easily walk to beaches #1 and #3. We would definately return to # 503 and recommend it to family and friends.

“Clean and spacious with attentive service” This is a nice condo rental for Wailea. While the furnishings and mattresses are not that up to date, the cleanliness and location are very good. I found the kitchen in particular to have very good supplies. When I complained about the terrible coffee maker, it was replaced immediately. I should have complained during our stay instead of afterwards, and we might have been able to make good coffee while there. The cleaning service was very good. I would have appreciated a second set of beach towels as one set is not nearly enough for a beach vacation. I also would say that the master bedroom mattress was not supportive and is probably too old. This unit is on the row closest to the road so if your 2nd bedroom sleepers are light ones, they might be bothered by traffic noise. Overall this is a great condo village to stay at, but these units are old and you are paying for proximity to the beach, not high end units.

“Our Best Vacation to Date” We had a wonderful time in Maui and truly enjoyed our condo at Wailea Ekolu. The views of the ocean were amazing (whale watching from our lanai). We really appreciated that we were in a quiet location but still close to all the action. There were 4 adults and 2 children in the condo and we had plenty of room. Ali'i Resorts took care of us-we had a issue with the microwave not working on the first day and they had a replacement there within hours. The unit was very clean and the resort staff were always friendly and accommodating (whether it be answering questions about Maui or booking excursion or just bringing some extra toilet paper). We checked out other beaches but found ourselves always coming back to Wailea Beach- the best one for us- great snorkelling and waves for boogie boarding as well as easy access (about a 10-15 min walk from the condo). Can't wait to return.

“Beautiful Home” The setting and view is spectacular. All the rooms were very nice. We enjoyed the pool table upstairs, although be careful as there is a flaw in the slate and the cue ball can go flying! The Sonos music system is also great. The backyard is perfect. Lots of pool toys. We enjoyed the evenings watching the stars. We did have a few minor issues. We had 3 adult couples and it wasn't clear that two of the bedrooms had a shared bath. The other bath was across the hall. We had expected private baths for each bedroom. The showers are beautiful but water pressure is minimal. Lastly, it seems that pool and hot tub controls are managed by the owner down below. The pool light would turn off and if you wanted to swim late, we couldn't find a pool light switch. Lastly, we didn't have heat in the hot tub the first day/night and requested help from the owner. No response. The pool maintenance person fixed it for us the next day. Even with these minor issues, I would recommend the home again. It is beautiful and has stunning views. We enjoyed the fruit trees, too.

“Well equipped and maintained, comfortable and easy access to beach, food and shopping.” This was my second stay at this lovely 1 BR condo in Kihei and I enjoyed it even more. The location is great, just across S Kihei Rd from the beach at the north end of Kamaole Beach #1. You can walk on the beach all the way to Ulua Beach if you want. The place is amazingly well equipped. All you need to cook and toys for the beach. This time, I even discovered two yoga mats in covers and two yoga blocks to go with them. Perfect for home yoga or taking them to the beach yoga classes that sometime happen. It is also possible to walk to good food and even the grocery store. The building has a great pool for afternoon cooling and laundry facilities are available on site. There is a bit of a view of the ocean from the lanai, but the general vista of palm trees and tropical vegetation in the neighboring buildings was quite nice. Never used the AC, screens and fans kept things comfortable. Finally the electronics were great, big screen and lots of music and video service choices.

“Wonderful stay in the Penthouse Villa...” Service: 5 Stars - The owner was very prompt in replying to email with questions, concerns. Concierge and front desk staff were courteous and very helpful. The bellman/staff even brought all of our luggage (6+ pieces) to our Villa and even parked both of our rental cars. Home: 5 Stars -Villa was immaculate! Master bedroom was gorgeous and the other guest rooms were beautiful and spacious as well. Open floor plan is great for entertaining and views from living room and lanai were breathtaking. Location: 5 Stars - just a short leisurely walk to the beach, adult-only pool and you can access the kiddie pool directly from the garage. Amenities were great - housekeeping promptly replaced shampoo and toilet paper. The Penthouse Villa offers guests a private elevator with key card access. Liked the views and proximity to beach, pools, shops the best.
