“An Incredible Place to Stay”

Kihei Beach Resort

Sep 3, 2007
5/7 found this review helpful

We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay in Maui! We stayed at the Kihei Beach Resort (KBR) in Kihei. We made the booking directly with the owner of Unit 503. It is an incredible place to stay! If you are looking for the lap of luxury with huge pools and huge fees, then go down to Wailea; if you are looking for crowds and busy roads then go down to south Kihei. The Kihei Beach Resort is in an excellent location in north Kihei that we found to be perfect for day trips to any part of Maui. We had considered another condo down in south Kihei which we went to see while we were in Maui. Are we ever glad we chose the KBR. South Kihei is extremely busy with a very busy road separating you from the beach and there are cars everywhere. The location of the KBR is just perfect. It's much quieter in north Kihei and the resort is right on the beach. The resort is older but beautifully maintained. The grounds are immaculate. The lobby could probably use an upgrade but we never went there except on our way to the pool. The pool is not huge but clean and warm. If you like BBQ'g, the BBQ's are almost in the parking lot so not very appealing but we didn't plan on using them anyway. The beach was just seconds from the condo. The swimming was great and the long beach provided for several miles of strolling. The most incredible part was the view! The pictures of the resort on the internet are just how it appears...every unit has an amazing view of the ocean. We booked our unit directly through the owner via VRBO.com. Nothing could have been easier and we got a great price. The condo was spotless with everything in working order. The kids had the bedroom while we used the pull-out queen-sized sofabed. I usually can't sleep in sofabeds, but this was just like being in a bed. Even though we booked through the owner, Ali'i Resorts had a representative meet us when we arrived and answered all our questions and even followed-up with a phone call the next day to be sure all was well. If you are looking for an affordable, beautiful, well-located, quiet place to stay in Maui with the most incredible view you will have from any rental, choose this place. We had a great 10th wedding anniversary and enjoyed every moment at the Kihei Beach Resort.

“Renting Condos Can Be a Risky Endeavor”

Kihei Beach Resort

Aug 27, 2007
7/12 found this review helpful

We've stayed at the Kihei Beach Resort three times, all in unit 508, and have absolutely loved our stays. We would have given them excellent ratings.

When we started planning this vacation 6 months ago, we were thrilled to see that Unit 606 was available, so we booked it in March for 7 nights. Everything was paid for and all we had to do was get on the plane.

10 days before we were set to leave, we received a phone call from the property management company, Ali'i Resorts, and were told that there was a reservation discrepancy, evidently the owner or their friends showed up and we were being kicked out. We were offered a couple options at that location, but the units were very outdated and not how we planned to spend our Maui vacation.

While we understand that the property management company may not have been at fault, they certainly didn't go out of their way to find us an equal or better place to stay. Our options were outdated units or a full refund. We opted for the full refund and found another place to stay and will not be doing business with Ali'i Resorts again.

Of course we're disappointed, but we will absolutely have a wonderful time in Maui and will not let this ruin our vacation. This probably doesn't happen often, but we learned the hard lesson that renting condos is not always a sure thing.

We stayed in #608 5/28-6/4 and had a wonderful time.The view was beautiful and the room was very comfortable. We paid $160 a night and had ocean front room on the beach. It was so great!!The sound of the waves would put you to sleep at night. The beach was so peaceful and quiet, not all the hustle bustle of the commericalized areas. We highly recommend this place. The pictures are right behind our condo just steps from the beach.

“Diamond in the rough. Unit #310 was the best.”

6/9 found this review helpful

This was our third stay in 6 years and we will be returning again when we get the chance. This is the only place we will stay on Maui. The big name resorts in Wailea are beautiful but over-priced and not practical for a two week stay with kids. Lahaina is too crowded and usually hotter than Kihei. Also, in my opinion, this is the only place to stay in Kihei as other Kihei locations don't appear as quiet or have panoramic ocean views.

Know which units to stay in. End units are our preference because they have a large bay window on the side which lets in alot of light. We recently stayed in unit #310 for two weeks and it was the best yet. The unit was newly remodeled; tile floors, granite contertops, new kithchen appliances, etc.

We had a fun time.

“Unit #506 Was Wonderful!”

Kihei Beach Resort

5 of 5 stars
Orlando, Florida
May 16, 2007
6/9 found this review helpful

We just returned from our wedding and honeymoon on Maui and spent 9 wonderful days at Kihei Beach Condos, unit 506. I would highly recommend staying here! The property was very clean and quiet. The online photos are exactly how it is! Beautiful sunsets right from your lanai. It was nice to return to our quiet oasis in Kihei after visiting the busier tourist areas of the island. Being on our honeymoon, we enjoyed the feeling of being somewhat secluded from the crowds but only minutes from all the amenities, i.e., restaurants, shops, beaches, and other activities. There were two days during our stay that we were the only two people on the entire beach! It was like our own private beach. When we return to Maui on future visits, we will definitely stay at Kihei Beach Condos. Other helpful tips for visiting Maui: buy the book "Maui Revealed" to get great reviews and inside info on what to do, where to go and where not to go. Don't visit Maui without going to Mama's Fishhouse in Paia. It's pricey but well worth the gourmet seafood dinners and spectacular views of the beach. Another good restaurant is Sensei Seafood right in Kihei. Excellent salmon and mahi mahi! Buy groceries at Costco or Walmart on your way from the airport - much cheaper than the local grocery stores (Foodland, Safeway, or Star Mrkt.). Also, alcohol is a lot cheaper at Long's Drug Store in Kihei. There's also a great produce market directly across the street from the condo complex. And an ABC general store just opened across the street the week we were leaving for last minute items like milk or snacks. Overall, I highly recommend Kihei Beach and would definitely return.
