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!!
