We just got back from a weeks stay in Maui and can't say enough good things about the Noelani condo. There were eight of us staying in 306. The views were amazing! We sat on our lani and watched whales and turtles every night. We used the grills by the pool several times and never had to wait long. The staff helped with all our questions and requests. We used the loaner Hana Cd's which were full of information and lead us to many things we may have missed on our own. The office even printed our boarding passes for our flight to Oahu the day before we left. Best vacation ever! Thanks Noelani!!

We stayed in Studio Deluxe 218 in the Orchid Building and loved it! The view couldn't get any better. The ocean is about 30 feet from the lanai. From there we saw sea turtles and whales breaching! Then at nightfall, the beautiful sunsets! Noelani has two pools right on the water's edge so you can hang out at the pool and still see and hear the waves. In the past we've stayed at bigger hotels and complexes on Maui but found them to be too crowded with not as good a view (small peek at the ocean from far away) . Noelani is more casual and laid back, which we prefer. Very relaxing!

Our unit had a fully equipped kitchen. We saved money by not having to go out all the time. We ate papayas, pineapple and granola for breakfast. The lady at the small fruit stand across from Star Market has really sweet fruit. One night we used the BBQ while the sun was setting. Beautiful. We even used some of the fresh herbs growing in the garden.

Our favorite breakfast place is Gazebo's in Napilli. The fried rice is great and we had the macadamian nut pancakes which were good.

Favorite place for a tropical drink is Hula Grill's outdoor bar at The Whaler's Village.

Favorite local food is Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina.

Favorite buffet is the Friday night Prime Rib & Seafood Buffet at the Prince Court in Wailea. It's pricey, but they have sashimi and poke, too.

Favorite place for dinner is Cafe Mambo in Paia (north toward the airport). The paella is tasty there. Better than when we were in Spain. Next door, Cafe de Amis, has a tasty mediterrean plate and refreshing smoothies.

Favorite place for a special occasion is Mama's Fish House. It's pricey but beautiful. Go an hour before sunset. You won't see the sun set there because it's on the other side of the island but the changing colors of the water and sky are very pretty. Ask to sit in the front room near the beach. We didn't order this, but the Black Pearl dessert looked impressive.

Then after all that eating, we would make our way up the street from Noelani to the Sports Club Kahana. My husband would work out on their machines and I took yoga classes and step classes. The instructors I had were good.

We love this area of Maui and will be back to Noelani soon!

My boyfriend and I (in our mid-20s) stayed here for four nights and we truly enjoyed our condo...room 113.

The bedroom included a flat screen tv, radio system, a dining/living area, queen bed, and a fully equipped kitchen (utensils, knives, pots, pans, dishes, tupperware, etc.) The bathroom included a a changing area (the closet & sink) which was seperated from the room through one door and from the shower & toilet through another door. I am very particular when it comes to bathroom cleanliness and up-keep...Noelani surpassed my expections.

The view from the room is beautiful. We were located right behind the pool and our view overlooked the pool and beach. There was no problem with noise from the pool....quiet time begins at 10pm every night.

Concierge service is fantstic. Bruce was excellent in helping us plan our trips. I recommend calling concierge in advance (a least two weeks) and they can help you plan and reserve your activities. Bruce definitely saved us from being taken advantage of and not falling into tourist traps. All the activities we schedule through Bruce (helicopter ride, snorkeling trip, and road trips) were fun and we got everything that was promised to us (seeing dolphins, whales, turtles, great staff, etc).

Also, the locatin of the condo is perfect...7-10min from Kaanapali Beach Resorts/Whalers Village (shopping/restaurants/bars); 15min from Lahaina Town/Banyan Tree (entertainment, restuarants, movie theaters, etc); 45min from Waalea (boat ports/Buzz's Wharf; and 60min from Kahupuli (Airport, Costco, Wal-Mart, Krispy Kreme). The locations are actually very close, but the time it takes to get to the location is a bit long because the average driving speed is between 35-40miles per hour....tops.

Please note, 113 is right beside a small driving path. I'm a light sleeper, so i had to sleep with ear plugs due to the sound of cars driving by (it's not a main road, so cars are not constantly driving by) and the beach lapping. Otherwise, Noelani Condo is perfect. Check-in & check-out is very easy....there's maid service....and the location is close to the dense tourist areas, but far enough to provide the calm & relaxed maui that is hoped for.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo and it was everything we hoped it would be and more! What a beautiful place to stay! As soon as you walk in through the front door, you can hear the ocean waves and the view is spectacular! We saw turtles, whales, and surfers everyday from our lanais. We fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves, as if we were sleeping right on the beach! We grilled lunch and dinner on the outdoors grill a few times, cooked breakfast, used the swimming pools, hot tub, and workout rooom (tiny but has a great oceanview!) All facilities were clean and there was never a crowd.

The mai tai party was nice, and Bruce was very helpful and knowledgeable, except for advising us that the Feast @ Lele Luau would be better than the Old Lahaina Luau, which we did not agree with. Our opinion remains that the Old Lahaina was better. Our whale watch/sunset dinner cruise he booked for us on the Teralani was SUPERB! A whale and her baby swam right up to our boat! It was an amazing evening! We also booked a sunset sail on the Kapalua Kai ... nowhere near the same experience! I would highly suggest NOT booking with them.

The condo was perfectly equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the mail service was great. They provided clean towels and other essentials, even when it was not a cleaning day.

The office staff was not overly friendly, as mentioned before, BUT I never experienced any problems. They helped me with everything I needed, and printed out our boarding passes for our flight home. A gentleman who manages the property let us park up close to the resort behind his vehicle one night when we arrived late and could not find a parking spot. He did not have to do that and we really appreciated it!

I was concerned about the fact there is no air conditioning, but this was NEVER a problem. The winds that blew through the condo provided a perfect temperature for us all 10 days we were there.

Overall, this was an amazing experience for all six of us. The location and amazing oceanfront view was just perfect. We couldn't ask for anything more. If and when we return to Maui, I will most definitely book again at the Noelani.
