We spent two weeks in Maui for our tenth anniversary. The last time we traveled to Maui we stayed in Kahana, which is in the Northern part of the island. Kihei is a 45 minute drive south of Kahana. We booked the Kauhale Makai despite some questionable reviews. (Something we often do because we've found some of the loveliest places... More

Our room on the 3rd floor was clean and comfortable. Balcony access from the living room and bedroom. kitchen was very well equiped. If you have small children, the beach in front may not be for you ... lots of small coral bits making barefoot travel a bit hazardous. If you check in after the staff leaves (6pm), you have... More

Unit 429 is beyond what we had hoped for. Over $100,000 in renos and it showed. It was so great to come back to such luxury and still have an affordable vacation. The experience totally depends on your room, so don't judge by the complex. The complex was just okay, small pool, windy to sit at, but never busy. Right... More

We would rate this place much higher if we were able to enjoy the views from our balcony but these people make a racket EVERYDAY with maintaining the grounds! The gtass is immaculate mowing it in two directions in the main garden area between the two buildings and they blow off fallen flowers and leaves every day. Not sure what... More

We had a wonderful time in this Unit. Great price, very clean, and very well situated for surfers. Very close to surf Hookipa or few minutes drive to the West side, Honolua Bay and all the surf breaks in between. We will stay there again. More

We got a pretty good deal through Orbitz for airfare and 10 night’s accommodation at Kauhale Makai November 13-23, 2011. We picked this accommodation over others offered because it was affordable, centrally located in Kihei and located directly beach front (e.g.: you don't have to cross a road to get to the ocean). If you book like we did it's... More

The comdo has everything (and more) I have in my apartment: kitchen supplies (even oil, salt, and pepper to cook) and beach stuff (snorkels, chairs,...). It's a big apartment, and all the... More

We stayed in unit 422, which is part of the Royal Aloha Vacation Club, and so not available to everyone, but it is in one of two buidings that house many units that are available to others. The unit itself was fine inside, but what we want to warn everyone about is the NOISE. The buildings sit with the units... More
