What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Royal Kahana delivers the classic West Maui condo experience: sweeping ocean views, sunsets over Molokai and Lanai, and near-constant whale and turtle sightings from many lanais. Guests love the quiet, relaxed vibe, the heated oceanfront pool and spotless BBQ area, and the easy base it provides between Kaanapali, Napili/Kapalua, and Lahaina. Several cafes, food trucks, Miso Phat, Maui Brewing Co., Dollies, convenience stores, and snorkel rentals are walkable, with top beaches and snorkel spots a short drive away.

Most condos are clean, comfortable, and well equipped for longer stays—think full kitchens, in‑unit washer/dryers, beach chairs, coolers, and sometimes snorkel gear—often with thoughtful extras like welcome baskets and binoculars. Hosts are frequently praised for quick, clear communication, and parking is generally straightforward (though paid). Families and couples alike call it a great value compared with nearby resorts, appreciating the roomy layouts and uncrowded pool deck.

Set expectations: this is an older oceanfront building undergoing periodic maintenance, so décor and finishes vary by unit and daytime construction or occasional building‑wide outages have been reported. Beach conditions are highly seasonal; erosion and sandbags mean the shoreline out front can be narrow or not swimmable, though a small beach is often just next door and many great beaches are close by. Central AC can be limited or struggle in some units, doors/windows can be sticky or windy, and there’s a nightly parking fee. If you want a modern, full‑service resort with a broad, guaranteed beach, look elsewhere; if you value views, location, space, and value, Royal Kahana is a strong pick.

The Lanai view is amazing, we ate breakfast out there every morning and got to watch the sea turtles in the ocean/ Utterly amazing. Beautiful quiet location. Amazing views.

Beach views were great. Condo was spacious slightly dated but expected this.! Pool was great! Wine opener was broken...I had to go buy one. I asked the front desk concierge but they said they weren't allowed to help with this issue so I bought one. I wasn't thrilled about the required paid parking fee 21/ day. at this particular Condo resort " Royal Kahana. " I felt the condo was clean but not as clean as it could have been.

The room was nice, had a good view of the ocean and the close by islands of Moloka'i and Lana'i. The condo had lots of room for 2 people. Since this condo is on the ground floor it makes it so convenient to walk down to the beach, go get coffee and quick get away to leave for beaches and activities.

Condo was clean and exactly as described. The building is older but overall the grounds were great. Pool was great and there were always chairs available. We enjoyed watching for turtles on the beach and playing in the water. The beach has large sand bags out but there was still plenty of room for swimming. Overall the place was great, pretty quiet, and amazing sunsets!

We loved this VRBO. It was the best place we’ve ever stayed. We spent most of our time there on the lanai. The only complaints I have is the bedroom nearest the ocean was way too hot for comfortable sleeping even with the fan on. We did figure out that it had its on thermostat but that didn’t make a difference. Second complaint is the furniture is super old & not comfortable at all; especially the couch! Get a new couch please!

Great location to all the shopping and food without it being in the middle of the crowds, with easy access to roads. Beautifully decorated unit, well stocked with amenities. Right on the water to hear the waves and see the turtles! would recommend to anyone i know...

This is our 4th time at this building, and 3rd time in this unit. It never disappoints. That’s why we continue to stay. We took our older granddaughter with us. Her first time in Hawaii, she was over the moon. She commented several times on how much she loved the unit.

The view from the balcony is amazing. Open the windows, enjoy the breeze, and listen to the ocean. The resort is laid back. The pool area is well maintained and never crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful. Walk across the street to Dollie's for pizza!

The good - We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate our 36th anniversary!The bad - We are staying an additional week in a condo a mile away, with our children and grandchildren, that does not come close to our stay at the Best Ocean View Condo at the Royal Kahana Oceanfront Resort. Cant wait to come back!!!

Wonderful stay! Stunning views off huge balcony. Great location. Contacted host regarding coffee pot problem & she promptly had a new coffee pot delivered. Great supplies in the kitchen. Pool very clean. It looks exactly as listed on VRBO. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home! Mahalo!

My only complaint was the pillows were horrendous for us. Too big with polyester fill. I recommend buying different thickness and fill choices for people to have a variety. These were 6 identical pillows. We had to sleep with the beach towells everyday. Everything else was great. Thank you.

Exactly as described. Perfect for our week stay. Could use new pillows and more comfortable couches, but everything else was great.

Unit was as advertised and reflected in previous reviews. It was clean but dated, perfectly functional, and all kitchen appliances worked just fine. The views were AMAZING from the balcony. Yes, the beach is small but from your balcony you feel like you're ON the beach! The pool area was great. The unit was well equipped with kitchen items that met our needs and included a Brita water filter pitcher that was much appreciated as the Maui water is not that great. There is also an "industrial" water filter in the main lobby available to all guests. Parking was 18.85/day as advertised in the the unit description but it is only charged for overnight parking so if you have visitors during the day they can park for free no problem. We did have an issue with water leaking into the living room and kitchen area (a slow leak that saturated the carpet). We notified the building and property manager right away and they responded quickly. The source of the leak seemed a bit of mystery to the service technicians between leaking from a unit above and/or coming from the AC in the unit. It took the team about a week to finally get it completely stopped and so we had the living room carpet torn up with drying fans running 24/7 for the last two weeks of the stay. Epic Realty did provide us small refund for the inconvenience so that was appreciated. I believe the AC unit is scheduled to be replaced. I would stay in this unit again if the AC unit is replaced with an upgraded unit.

This is a perfect location and the condo was very nice with a great view. My only suggestion is that “remodeled “ would generally suggest new kitchen appliances. An ice maker would have brought my rating to 5 stars.

As soon as we walked in and saw the incredible ocean view, I knew we were in the right place! I actually felt like I could stay here and never leave, with the ocean view, the gorgeous sunsets, and the soft sounds of the waves - and there’s so much to do in Maui! The property manager, Jennifer, responded quickly to our questions the first day we were there, and never needed to contact her again. The A/C worked perfectly, as did the stove, dishwasher, etc. The property owner, Michael, was very responsive when we had questions in the weeks prior to arriving. The Royal Kahana pool, for all guests, is large and beautiful - it was never crowded (but we were there in Sept., after the school year began). This is the first condo in which we’ve stayed in Hawaii to which we’d definitely return - and we’ve stayed in many nice condos over the decades in Kauai, Maui, Oahu, & Big Island.

The information we were given from our host about Maui was so helpful. The condo was beautiful and easy to check into. The staff at the condo establishment were very kind.

September 2025

We were very disappointed with our experience at this condo. Upon arrival, it was clear that the unit had not been well cleaned. On top of that, there was a noticeable bug infestation throughout our stay, which made the space feel uncomfortable.The back door did not open or close properly, which caused a constant draft and created a whistle noise. To make things worse, the air conditioning never cooled the unit below 74, making it difficult to relax or sleep comfortably.Overall, the lack of cleanliness, maintenance issues, and poor climate control made this stay far below our expectations. Unfortunately, we would not return or recommend this property.

This was by far the best rental that I have ever stayed at in my 20 years of traveling. Rick had everything that you could possible need ready for you to enjoy paradise. He has set the bar so high, that I can’t imagine staying anywhere else for my future visits to Maui.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was unbeatable. The condo is oceanfront in Maui with prime views of both sunrise and sunset. We even caught a rainbow and watched turtles swimming right from our lanai. The beautiful location made every morning and evening magical.The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, extremely well-stocked, and equipped with great appliances. The AC worked perfectly, and there were also extra fans available for when we wanted additional airflow. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches. There were lots of hangers, closet and drawer space, plenty of pillows, extra linens, and a washer/dryer that made our stay even more comfortable.The pool was wonderful, and we met such kind and friendly people there as well as other VRBO guests. The welcoming atmosphere really made it feel like a community. But there was peace and quiet when we didn’t feel like talking.Every day we woke up happy in this place. Between the gorgeous views, the comfort of the apartment, and the prime location, this was the perfect Maui getaway. The owners are amazing and their professional yet friendly communication gave us confidence in where we were staying.We were staying at this condo during the tropical storm after hurricane Kiko and even though it was occasionally overcast, each day while we were there was sunny and warm in this location. It is a gem and we look forward to going back.

The unit was clean and spacious. Beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset. Fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer came in handy and the 4 beach chairs we used daily. Rooms are on opposite sides of the unit so plenty of privacy. pool is warm and I swam with 2 turtles at the hotel beach for an hour. parking was easy and management was easy to communicate with. door code was nice, no keys needed, my husband and I stayed with my adult daughter and her boyfriend. We all enjoyed the nearby beaches, restaurants and snorkeling.

Overall, our stay was fantastic. The condo was as described and well appointed with essentials for a comfortable stay. A little outdated, but that isn’t a problem. Primary bed/bath was comfortable. Second bedroom had very firm mattresses. Would have been nice if the two twin beds could be pushed together for another king bed. Gym is musty and could certainly use updating, but this is not held against the condo owner. Only slight negative is that the trade winds create a very loud “whistle” due to the sliding glass door and front door not being air tight. Thankfully, the winds die down in the evenings.

The view was spectacular. It was incredible to be able to sit on the balcony and listen to the ocean waves as well as hear them from inside the bedroom. The room was just feet away from the beach, clean, and well equipped. The water machine downstairs is a great addition. Everything was perfect minus the hair dryer, which didn't work.

Great property! It was perfect for our needs and had a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen, dining, and living room area were a nice size. We really appreciated the extra single bed in the one bedroom.
Julie M.
August 2025

We loved the property! Very clean and had everything we could possibly need. Owners have literally thought of everything! They were even generous in accommodating us with a late check out. We loved the lanai and eating out there each day watching the waves crash in! The king bed was so comfortable with high quality sheets…we slept SO good! Our 17 year old was on the pull out couch and it was fine for a kid/young adult. The body boards and beach chairs came in handy!
