Lovely Remodeled 2 BDRM Condo - Starting @ $383.00/night - Wailea Elua #2106

The pictures are very up to date. While the unit has been rehabbed in places, it is still a little dated and very cluttered. The views are beautiful from the lanai (you can see the ocean). Be prepared for a about a 5 minute hill to the beach (just notable for those who are older). The unit is spacious and has everything you could need in the kitchen. Management company is responsive. Location and beach are fantastic. You can easily walk to shops in Wailea and easy access to the beach path.

This condo is in a great location with great amenities. That being said, a major disappointment for us was that the unit is way too cluttered, not the relaxing environment you want when you are on vacation. The kitchen has been nicely remodeled but every cupboard is stuffed with items, many of them duplicates ( 3 blenders, drawers of food storage without matching lids, 3 ice buckets and so much more) so that there isn't even space to store your groceries except out on the counter. In addition, you have to search through so much stuff just to find what you're looking for.

The second bedroom is tight with the twin bed but the real problem is the only clothing storage is in the closet, which you can't access because there is so much stuffed in the closet that we had to move items to be able to open the drawers of the dresser. We also had to move multiple things out of the way to hang just a few items as that was all there was room for. Under that bathroom sinks are multiple extra tissue box holders, soap dispensers, and other unnecessary items that take up the space we would have used to store our empty toiletry bags had there been space.

Enough examples of the problems. On the positive side, the resort has a nice pool area with several umbrellas, a nice spot for eating in the shade, easy access to a beautiful beach, and lovely landscaping. The management company quickly responded to a few issues we had

(a slow moving drain in the shower and burnt out lights) and the housekeeping/daily towel replacement was a nice surprise.

This unit is the closest building to the road but the landscaping kept the noise levels down. The unit is also farthest from the beach and pool, but as long as you are not physically challenged, it just means a longer walk. You might want to consider renting a beach cart to lug everything down.

So, in summary, we would definitely consider returning to this resort as we found it a good value for Wailea but we would not stay in this unit again unless the above issues were addressed.

We stayed in Unit 2106 for two weeks over Christmas 2016, the same unit we stayed in 12 years ago. We love the property, primarily for its location (Elua beach is fabulous), close to the resort area, a short walk to the Wailea Shops, and direct access to the beach boardwalk. Unit 2106 is near the front gate (good), at the top of the hill requiring a downhill (and uphill) walk to the very appealing and well developed pool facility and beach (not great but Okay), backing on Alanui boulevard (some traffic noise) however a short walk to the coffee shops at Wailea (great). The views are fabulous and the lanai is a decent size from this upper unit. The unit itself has been upgraded and the kitchen modifications were well thought out and executed. Bathroom reno's were well done and attractive. Everything worked and the kitchen is well equipped, stove has a glass top, fridge is new and unique, BBQ worked well. We found the MBR bed to be (very) firm however that is our assessment, others may find this aspect appealing. A/C was powerful, a fan in each room was appreciated although the one in the back bedroom was somewhat schizophrenic in its operation. We would definitely consider utilizing this unit again in the future, for us the Elua location is perfect and we prefer the easy walking access to the other Wailea amenities over a close access to the pool and beach.

Just want to start by saying, wow can't believe how unprofessional rude Ali'i resorts are! We booked a family trip and this unit was by far nothing we expected. Very stinky, cluttered and not kid friendly whatsoever. Although when you have a good management company that's accommodating then all that sometimes doesn't matter .. Ali'i resorts were very rude .. charged us amounts after our checkout without an explaination. Made up figures has they went! Be aware !! They will scam you and you . Worst experience ever !!!!!
