We booked this based on the reviews it received here and on Expedia, and they were spot on. We stayed in unit #603 and can't say enough good things about it, the unit was spotless, really modern and has obviously been VERY well taken care of, it was the most complete condo I have ever stayed in, it had EVERYTHING we could ever need, including beach stuff!!

Hale Pau Hana resort itself is extremely well maintained, the grounds were spotless, and the BBQ grills cleaned daily, as were the pool and the outside showers where everyone washes off their sand. The location is beyond what we were expecting, every unit is ocean front, and the beach is about 10 steps away from the building, you have the joy of lying in the garden on the lawn chairs etc.. and then 10 steps and you are in the ocean.

There are plenty of restaurants well within walking distance, or you can cook at home, Foodland is about 1.5 miles away and you get a discount card when you check in.

The staff were extremely friendly, the hawaiin entertainment was excellent and the housekeeping was very un-intrusive which I loved. I can make my own bed and prefer not to be invaded daily, they did empty the bins and give us clean towels every other day and changed the bed linen once while we were there - some wouldn't think that was enough, I thought it was perfect!!

I totally recommend this as a place to stay, it was convenient for everything and Kihei lacked the BIG HUGE resorts that seem to be taking over the rest of the coastline, Kihei gets my vote everytime!! The resorts are ruining the Wailea and Lahania coastlines - IMO!!

The beach was great - snorkelling in the morning and body boarding in the afternoon - you have to snorkel at the Ahihi Kinau Reserve, it was GREAT and very accessible, also a trip to Molokini is a must!!

We just returned from our third visit to Hale Pau Hana and have already booked another visit. We have found it to be a wonderful place to stay every visit. Love the convenience of choosing which unit we want by viewing them online. Again we had an immaculate, upscale, updated unit. We found it very clean and well equipted with everything we needed including a boogie board and beach chairs.

The grounds are so well kept and we enjoyed the Hawaiian entertainment on Tuesday nights. You cannot get any closer to the ocean, just steps to a wonderful beach. The sunsets were wonderful. We will return again and again...

The positives are Housekeeping (very sweet & hardworking), outside grounds are beautiful and of course having an ocean front room. But it's a BIG trade off.
The property managers had us staying in one room and moving to another the second day. I would have been ok with this however we couldn't move until 11AM and had to be out of the old room by 2PM so we lost a good portion of our second day. They didn't offer to help us move and worse yet moved us from a nice room unit #15 to #19 which was horrible. All units are separately owned.
All of the bedrooms have a motion detector timer on their air conditioners which turn off after 10 mins. Don't plan on sleeping with it on or cooling off the room. Besides the humidity, the bedroom had a lot of road noise so we slept in the living which made the quarters a little cramped.
The room was is in poor condition; desperate need of a paint job, ironically there is paint in the musty smelling closet. The wallpaper was dirty and stained and separating from the wall. The wood vanity in the bathroom is splintered and cracked in several places. Bathroom tub looks rusty and there's no fan.
The property has 3 grills 1 (closest to us) was broken the entire time the other 2 in constant use.
For what we paid, we could have gotten a lot more bang for our buck. I gave a 2 because the grounds deserve something.

This was our first visit to Hale Pau Hana, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the condo. Our specific unit, 302, was fabulous--all tile, clean, comfortable. The view from the lanai was gorgeous. We sat out on the lawn every afternoon and relaxed, watched the ocean, had a drink, and it was our favorite part of the trip. The beach is good for swimming, snorkeling, and walking. The sunsets are out of this world. We saw a wedding out on the beach at sunset last Sunday. The barbecue grills out on the lawn were big and clean. You can just see how much effort is put into maintaining this property every day. Lawn is mowed, hedges trimmed, sidewalks swept. We would never stay anywhere else in Maui. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
