Planning a visit to Hawaii from my computer in Japan, and having read the Fodor's guide (which incidentally I rate as "terrrible" [try lonely planet - much better]), we noted that the Kula Lodge was rated as a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch on an ascent or descent of the Haleakala mountain. So I looked up the... more

We really enjoyed our time at the Kula Lodge. We were in Chalet #1 which we discovered was way too much room for two people (it has a queen bed plus a loft with 2 twin beds) however the balcony and view were amazing! Unfortunately, they were not accommodating when we arrived early and asked to have our bags checked... more

Just for background, we stayed 6 nights at the Pineapple Inn Maui and decided to come to Upcountry for some hiking. All of our first choices were booked, so we took the room (booked two weeks in advance) at the Kula Lodge. Our chalet was one of two in a building located near the highway and adjacent to the parking... more

This is a great place to spend the night before going to Haleakala National Park. The location is great for going to the park. The staff at the lodge and restaurant were courteous and extremely helpful. We had one of the best dinners ever at the restaurant with a fantastic view looking down the mountain at Maui. more

On our way down from Haleakala my wife and I stopped here for a respte and early dinner. The place is really great, and a welcome relaxing spot after our hiuke in the crater. The dining interior is all very attractive wood. Any artisan would enjoy it. The view is great. with giant avocado trees to the left, lots of... more

We never stayed at the hotel so I can't comment on it. We did eat an early dinner after Halealaka. Overall a good (above average) dinner, with above average prices. One whole side of the restaurant is windows with a spectacular view, however, it was facing West and the setting sun was so intense I actually wore my sunglasses! Really,... more

A warning to you. If you want all those nice little amenities that you'll find in Grand Wailea or even some of those nicer hotels in Kihei or Kapalua, then don't stay here. The restaurant is also a bit on the expensive side. This place is for people looking to "get away from it all" including the TV. That said,... more

We frequent Maui once a year, and decided that it was time to pay a visit to the Kula Lodge after having missed it for a couple of visits. We had to stop at the Kula Post Office for directions! After heading due North up the volcano for a couple of miles in our Jeep, thankfully we came upon the... more

We planned our night at the Kula Lodge primarily based on the location, right near the crater. Had we known that by 7am the next morning our car and another would have windows smashed and personal items stolen we would never have booked it! Our family of 4 (two preteen daughters and myself and my husband) had planned a Pony... more
