Great condo; great location. In one of the 3 or 4 best situated buildings in the complex. Have stayed at Wailea Ekolu many times and this was the most updated, and best overall of the condos we've stayed in. Definitely recommend!

Very serene and quiet. Centrally located in Wailea. Beautiful view! Comfortable beds.
We love staying at this complex, the grounds are well kept, it’s quiet and clean. This unit has everything you need with kitchen supplies, pillows, towels, beach chairs and a beach umbrella. The property management was amazing and totally there when/if you need them immediately. We hope to come back again!

We found our accommodation perfect. Close to the beach and excellent shopping. The only problem was an ice maker in the refrigerator wasn’t working and the maintenance person couldn’t fix it, but it wasn’t a big deal. We loved the place.

This property was amazing. The view from the lanai was spectacular and we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each night! We loved that we were in Wailea. The management communication was very easy. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the essentials. The only thing I would recommend is to have some beach supplies. There were 2 coolers and 2 chairs that had seen better days. We bought 2 boogie boards and left them there. Perhaps the owners will keep them for other guests?

Aloha and Mahalo for sharing a review of your stay. We are so happy to learn that you had a great time. A Hui Hou Kakou - "Until We Meet Again" Your Ali'i Resorts Ohana
My family had an incredible stay at this property! We stayed for over 3 weeks with our 3 yr old and baby and were very comfortable the entire time. The apartment itself was very clean, on the ground floor, quiet, and adequately stocked. The view out the back is better than the pictures - we loved watching the sunset over the water. The property is pristine! It is a bit of a walk to the shoppes and the beach but it was so beautiful that we never tired of it. It truly is part of the experience. The management was super responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Traveling for so long with little children was a little intimidating, but we could not have had a better experience! Just a note - there are no bathtubs, only showers in both bathrooms. It wasn't an issue for us, but could be good to know ahead of time. We can't wait to come back!

Disappointed
The condo was very disappointing. 2 of the 3 wall air conditioners did not work. The carpet is stained. The unit smelled of ammonia...due to the failure of the air conditioners. The beds were crummy...a chunk of plywood is under the mattress in one room. Holes in the ceilings and cobwebs in the corners.
The furniture is worn out and falling apart. The unit needs paint . Everything in here is old and very worn. We dealt with Ali'i resorts LLC. and they said to open the windows and brought us a fan.... we did open the windows , but the BBQs are right outside and the unit filled up with charcoal fumes. The rep at Ali'i said he will make it right for us.....but I don't have much faith.
We did enjoy our dip in the pool. I will continue this posting tomorrow...let's see if Ali'i comes through with accommodating our creature comforts.We didn't come to the islands to watch tv...we want a comfortable nights sleep after enjoying Maui. At this time I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone.

I’d like to thank you for taking the time to share your concerns on this forum and with the on island rep Ali’i Resorts. I understand that the immediate concerns were handled in a timely fashion, you were compensated, some additional improvements made, and that the management company is acting on the remaining items that you shared with them directly at the end of your stay. Thank you giving us all the opportunity to improve the condo.

Very nice, missing the small stuff that would make it even better
It is a great unit, great location and what a spectacular view on the sunset, on the downside the pool was closed for construction, tv in master did not work and although there are bbq’s right outside the unit there were no bbq utensils other than maybe tongs.

Our group, which included kids and adults, spent 9 night at this property. The location is great! It’s a short walk to the pool, coffee shop, shopping and restaurants. The beach is definitely walkable too. We spent many mornings and evenings in the lanai while the kids played on the adjacent grass area. The view of the sunset is gorgeous! The property was quiet and not overly crowded. It was very nice having a well appointed kitchen and washer and dryer. I was happy with our stay but there were definitely a couple of quirks worth mentioning.
Finding the unit was a very frustrating and unnecessarily difficult process. The GPS mapped us to a part of the property that could not access the unit. The property manager was responsive when I reached out but then sent us an illegible map. Not a good experience, especially after a long day of travel. Another strange thing was that they didn’t provide enough toilet paper. There were six of us for 9 nights and quickly went through the few rolls of TP they provided. When I asked for more they said they only offer a welcome supply and then we were on our own.
Again, we had a memorable and beautiful vacation. Wailea is definitely our favorite spot.

Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to share a review of your stay. We are happy to hear that you overall enjoyed your time on Maui. We were sorry to hear that you were lost on your day of arrival. but happy a short time after you called were able to direct you to the condo to get settled in. Our standard practice is to provide two rolls of toilet paper per bath room. Sorry that this was communicated in incorrectly to you.
