We just got home from a great stay in Kihei. Missing the sounds of the ocean already!
This property is located close to a lot of restaurants and stores as well as conveniently located between two public beaches. I spent a long time looking for a great location where we could walk to the beach and stores and was pleased with the final choice at the Royal Mauian, which is where this property is located.
Pros:
- Close to shops and beaches
- 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is awesome
- Patio/balcony is great and overlooks beach
- On the top (6th) floor so you can see for miles
- Rooftop access is close and awesome
Cons:
- Oven wasn't working (stovetop did) and the dryer was tough to operate. Both were being replaced after our stay, sometimes these things happen and the property manager was very responsive and helpful, so it's kind of a pro/con because communication was great.
- The building/association had a ton of rules that were sometimes super silly, like no balls, music or games like Marco Polo in the pool, which seemed kind of hilarious to me. We have a teen, so no big deal for us but I can imagine if you had younger kids in the pool it would be a downer. The list of rules got a little comical like that at some points. I think there are a lot of older retired residents living there and they aren't fans of younger kids or renters. Didn't have a problem or anything, you could just tell from the signs and rules.
