We went 8/9/4-8/19/04. Perfect place to stay! From our room balcony we could watch the sunset every night. Ocean was a stone's throw away. Beach was immediately next door. Beach was clean, not fishy smelling, clear and warm. Great snorkeling, we even saw 3 turtles while snorkeling directly in front of the balcony of our condo unit. Room and building were both clean and nice. Front of the building was a busy highway with strip mall after strip mall that had whatever you wanted. But from the balcony in the room, or anywhere in the room, you didn't know that the front was so busy. Pool was nice, but we preferred the beach. We went in the summer and the grills on the roof allowed us to cook dinners without getting the room all hot. We would cook and bring it down to eat dinner on the balcony and enjoy the view. The only drawback was there was no air conditioning. However, if you opened the windows and sliding glass doors, the breeze would keep the room cooler. We sleep at home right now (September) with the A/C set at 69% and we were able to tolerate the nights there. You do however, tend to get up pretty soon after sunrise because of this. That was probably the only drawback and it did not really even bother us as much as we thought it would. We stayed on the 6th floor and could hear the waves crashing into the shore all night every night. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

We just returned from a 1 week stay 6/19 - 6/26 at the Royal Mauian Resort. Older complex, but in very good condition. Location was ideal with a nice swimming beach to each side and snorkeling immediately out front. You don't have to cross the busy street as it is oceanfront. There are stores and restaurants withing walking distance. Some units are more upgraded than others, go with the "superior" rooms. wonderful pool area that's ocean front with grass surrounding it, great rooftop bbq area. Only complaints: no air conditioning. (This wouldn't be a problem in the winter months, but this made sleeping rather uncomfortable during this time of year) also, the beach is a public beach, so people start coming about 7 am. Once again, sleeping with windows open to get air, you hear them. If you're a light sleeper or like sleeping late, you might not like this. All in all, would go there again, just not during the summer months.

This is a great place to stay. We had three bedrooms, each with its own TV, two bathrooms, large great room plus kitchen with washer, dryer blender, etc. Also provided is a cooler, boogie boards, beach towels etc. If you stay here, make sure to take advantage of the rooftop. They have grills, tables, a kitchen etc so that you can cook out and eat up there and enjoy the fabulous view! There was also a pool on the premises but we were so busy with everything else, we never got to use it! Tip: Pack salt, pepper and some spices for cooking. We paid $5.00 for cinnamon!

Royal Mauian is in a good location, quiet area yet centrally located to all activities. Not the busy "resort" atmosphere. With each unit having a kitchen/washer/dryer sure made our trip alot easier & relaxing, will stay again at same location on next trip.
