“Great unit in Kihei!” We really enjoyed staying in #518 in the Royal Mauian. It's big enough for 2 families with kids with the 3 bedrooms. The location was absolutely perfect since it had a nice pool/grass area, right on the ocean with beaches to both sides. I laughed when I read a review about the ocean being loud at night but found that it was actually kind of loud the first night. I love the sound of it and it didn't keep me awake the rest of the vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked w/ pots/pans/plates etc. Everything we would need to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner there. We will definitely stay here again!!

“The Perfect Spot” We absolutely LOVED our stay in this condo, and if we get to go back, will definitely stay there! It was in a nice neutral location, perfect location for beach AND pool access, and beautiful views in the evenings and mornings! The condo had everything we needed, and worked great with our delivery service for our children's needs. The only bummer would be that the AC unit on the back patio blows really hot air, so you can't leave your sliding glass doors open in the morning because of the hot air blowing in.

“Vary nice” Accomodations were modern and clean. Resort is beautifully kept. I want to particualry praise the cleaning staff. The two women who came daily were amazing.

“Property Management company and resident Manager.” Property management company was supportive and provided very helpful concierge information. Was responsive to simple issue that arose and very professional and pleasant. The resident manager at the building was friendly and very informative. A great experience all around.

“Kamaole Nalu” Small (36 condos) ON the water between Kamaole 1 and 2. Two bd/2 ba, very well maintained, supplied and friendly manager. Perfect place if you do not want the hassle and crowds of a fancy resort. All are individually owned. Also perfect with children, grandchildren, calm beach, snorkeling right in front with turtles. We've been here more than 30 times in the last 40 years.

“This condo is perfectly situated” Right on the beach and restaurants, mini-marts, and cinnamon rolls and pizza across the street. small kitchen but with all the essential cookware and dining ware. Great lanais with view of the ocean with Molokini in front and Haleakala behind. Friendly helpful staff. I guess it can be hot this time of year but we had perfect weather- high 70's to low 80's.

“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.

“Fabulous location” The location is perfectly lodged between our two favorite beaches, Kamaole 1 and Kamaole 2. This unit is not as updated as others in the complex, but it has a spectacular view. Between poorly functioning ceiling fans and a hot dryer, it was difficult to keep the room comfortable even with Kihei's famous tradewinds.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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.

“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!

“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!

“Paradise Found at #303” Clean Great location, great service by staff, ample parking, lovely pool, everything you need in a condo away from home. Comfy bed, great views. We will definitely rent again. Mahalo!

“Perfect location for a family holiday.” This was our second time renting this unit mainly because for us, there is no better location. Our teenagers could walk the beach or to shops on their own. Pool right off our lanai, loungers just steps away, Bbq's, beach and snorkeling right out front. When we were outside and needed something, whether it be a drink, food, washroom or just a break from the sun, it's like simply stepping inside from your own backyard. It's nothing fancy, in fact, a little tired, but it's well stocked and comfortable. The onsite manager is friendly and helpful.

“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!!

“Mom and Daughter time” This condo was outstanding! The view was awesome! The kitchen was stocked nicely with spices and other items i didn't have to go buy. I loved snorkeling with the turtles every day. The pool is nice. I brought my daughter for a high school graduation present, and she loved it! The beach is right there. Shaved Ice and Coffee right across the street! The condo is located near some great restaurants, and activities are close by. The condo had a cooler and beach chairs and beach towels,which was great.

“Awesome” We loved our condo at the Royal Mauian. It opened up to the pool and then the ocean. It was beautiful. Great location and fun to watch the turtles. We had a couple of issues with the Condo and ali'i Resorts were so responsive and very quick to take care of any problems. Ali'i staff were very professional and nice to work with.

“Great Place to Stay” The place was newly remodeled. What you see on the pictures is what you get, not less. The view is great and if you have little kids the little beach in front is perfect for them. We loved it and we will definitively recommend to everybody.

“June in maui” We went to kihei for my husbands birthday. We stayed in kihei beach 506. Everything was wonderful and the condo was very clean. We loved the location. We were very happy being directly on the beach and loved sitting on the deck. The best part was we slept so good on that wonderful bed. I definitely would stay there again if we go back to Maui. Thank you Guy and Carrie

“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

“Still smiling” Our stay at the Royal Mauian was our best vacation in years. Ali'i Resorts and the staff of the Royal Mauian showed us hospitality that made us feel so welcome we couldn't help relaxing from day one. The RM is located in the heart of Kehei and everything you could possibly need for a perfect vacation is within walking distance. #517 was made up just as we requested and was spotlessly clean, as was the entire property. This complex is very well cared for and it shows, and #517 was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee on the lanai while watching whales and turtles. The reef just out from the Royal Mauian is an awesome place to snorkel and the Kamaole beaches on either side are amazing for swimming or just relaxing in the sun. After spending time sight-seeing it was wonderful to come back to our own fully equipped home base, have a dunk in the beautiful pool and later enjoy watching a Maui sunset while fixing dinner in the roof top garden. This was a lovely two weeks and we look forward to returning to Maui, the Royal Mauian and ali'i Resorts. Mahalo all!

“Great Sunset Views!” We loved the Kihei area, especially this quiet condo area of the island. This condo has a wonderful lanai overlooking the beautiful bay area, has a very well equipped, 2 beautiful bathrooms, comfy seating areas in the living room, small ice chest, 2 beach chairs & beach towels. The lawn area has plenty of loungers for sunset viewing or sunbathing. The condo is located at Keawakapu Beach, a great beach for swimming, boarding and walking. The pool at Kihei Surfside feels great after a day at the beach and the gas bbq area is clean and a really a quick walk from the unit. The laundry is clean with plenty of units. Be sure to save your quarters as it takes $2 to wash and $2 to dry. There is no change machine. Tips: Hana Hwy is a must - take time to go down the Nahiku Road for great ocean views, including cheap fruit and flower stands. The black sand beaches are great with a nice hike through lava fields. Met lots of folks that went all the way around through Kipahulu. They said it was a long day, but worth it. Go up to Haleakala to watch the sunrise and take the beautiful, crazy narrow road along Hwy 340 and 30 to go to the Olivine pools and Nakalele Blowhole, enjoy appetizers at the Five Palms located below the Mana Kai resort.

“Fantastic Stay at Makena Surf” We would definitely return to this property, if not exact condo, at Maken Surf. Great location and ideal building on the big beach.Make sure you see the development plan so you pick the right building - it's worth being beachfront. And when the west coast was in the clouds, we were always sunny. Lovely beach, quiet with just the right amount of action close by. Easy drive to area shops and restaurants. Condo was ideal and services were terrific. If you are looking for beach and pool bar, resort services - this is not your place. There is a beach and pool but no blended drinks being served. But you'll spend three times the money for a hotel room versus having the luxury of spreading out at "home" with your family for meals, movie night and morning breakfast on the lanai. A much nicer way to go and then eat dinner in all the great restaurants. Who wants to shower and dress for breakfast anyway? I'd rather eat on the lanai and relax. The condo has everything you would want for a lovely stay from good bedding, spacious bathrooms,beach chairs, daily maid service, to streaming Netflix and fully stocked kitchen. Rent a car and you are all set.You won't want to leave and you feel more like you live there rather than just being another tourist. Oh and having a washer dryer in the unit was super convenient. Overall... a lovely spot.
