“Just perfect!” We loved our stay at this condo- it's very clean and bright, fully equipped with everything you need, a balcony with amazing views of the ocean/ crater/ turtles and only steps away from the beach. The complex and grounds are very well looked after, very green and felt safe at all times. Being one of the smallest complexes in that area added to the relaxing atmosphere. The owners can be reached easily by email/ phone, were very helpful and even provide a tasty welcome package with fresh fruits, local cookies and coffee (Thanks again!). The location of the condo was perfect for exploring the island, as it's only a short drive from Kahului airport/ the Road to Hana, not far from Lahaina and also the Haleakala crater (amazing sunrise experience!). Grocery stores and nice restaurants aren't too far away either. We can recommend this condo to anyone looking for somewhere not too busy, but still centrally located, and would definitely come back again!

“Hideaway for Best Getaway” Location: We travelled all over the island, seeing every little nook and cranny. What we realized was that our home base, the "Hideaway" is ideally located on the island. You're centrally located between Kihei (our favourite town), the airport, Lahaina, et al. You're also near some of the best beaches around, including Sugar Beach, the one on which the Hideaway sits, which has one of the best views on all of the island. One suggestion is to stop to get supplies from one of the major grocers near the airport, when you first arrive, to get a firm base of what you need: beer, snacks, meat, veggies, etc. Then you can shop at the nearby general stores for convenience or 10 minute drive to Foodland for following shopping needs. Amenities: The "\Hideaway has everything you need to operate comfortably: dishes, utensils, bedding, beach supplies, cleaning supplies, washer/dryer, brand new oven/stove, brand new TV/sound system, etc. The balcony has the best view. The unit being on the second floor is great in that you get an elevated view but you're still quick to access parking or the pool by elevator or stairs. Facilities: The pool area is superior in its craftsmanship and comfort. It has the only Jacuzzi in the area. You wouldn't think something like this would be necessary in a hot area but it's amazing, especially in the hot, bright sun. One of, if not the biggest highlight about this building is its proximity to the ocean. Not only is there no road between your balcony and the ocean but you're so near to it that you can see the sea turtles floating by. Apparently this luxury of being so close to the ocean is not something you'll see anymore on Maui as they have changed their regulations so that buildings need to be built much further from the ocean. Owners: Accommodating to the max. Wendall and Sally only want you to have the best possible experience on Maui and in the Hideaway. I can't even go to the lengths at which Wendall went to make sure our stay was excellent, suffice to say that it couldn't have been as good without having them to help us out. Conclusion: If you can get in to the Hideaway, go with the opportunity and you will be happy you did.

“Completely Enjoyed it. Cant wait to return.” We surprised our children with a trip to Maui over their winter break while home from college. When we found this condo open at the last minute, we were a bit leery since it was during the peak season. The surprise was all ours. What a beautiful place!! We could tell the condo had recently been renovated with all new furnishings and amenities. The owner did a wonderful job redecorating and tying the theme together throughout. I'm very particular when it comes to sleeping away from home as you never know how mattresses are going to feel in rentals. I was delighted at how comfortable the beds were and energized each morning when I woke. We truly were in paradise inside and out. The owner was most helpful with booking our trip, especially since it was last minute, providing us with many fun activities to do during our stay. Looking forward to booking our next visit and staying in this beautiful condo.

“What a wonderfully relaxing get-a-way!” From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm welcome! Every detail thought of: a welcome basket of fruit, beautiful flowers in the room & all amenities you need in the condo. We loved this unit & thought it was really cozy. The balcony view was fantastic & we could not get enough of whale & turtle watching along with all the daily boat activities.

“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.

“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 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!!

“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!

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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.

“Clean condominium with all amenities on beautiful grounds” This condominium was absolutely wonderful and provided all the comforts of home while maintaining the feel of a resort. The photos provided were accurate. The kitchen was clean with new silverware and appliances. The carved cupboards added subtle beauty. The rooms were also clean, beds comfortable, and bathrooms clean and stocked. Views from the lanai were so relaxing. As an added bonus, plentiful beach gear was also provided, which made for fun days at the beach each day. Aside from the condo itself, the location was prime and accessible to each part of the island, which we were able to visit. I definitely recommend renting this condo for your trip to Maui.

“Perfect!!!” Our stay at Wailea Elua was absolutely great. Our accommodations were spacious and beautiful with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The grounds were remarkable with close access to beach and private sitting areas. The condo had everything you needed. The staff on hand were very accommodating. And close to shopping and restaurants.
