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.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. Communication from the host was top notch and the location was perfect. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The condo had a pool that overlooked the ocean, so you got to enjoy both worlds. I loved that there was a concierge on site to assist with tours. I will definitely book again anytime on my next trip to Maui

July 2025

The accommodations are just as expected- wonderful view, updated bathroom and kitchen with everything you need, even 2 sets of binoculars to enjoy watching turtles swimming along the shore. The location is perfect for exploring Maui’s top snorkeling beaches. You are minutes away from Honalua Bay, Kapalua beach, Airport beach and many many more. The sunsets are spectacular!!!We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay here at the Royal Kahana. They provided everything we needed for our stay. I would say that people might want to know the bathroom is a little tight. My husband is a little bit on the bigger side, and so navigating the space in there was a little bit of a challenge for 2 people, but other than that, the rest of the space of our VRBO was fine. It was really nice to have an in-unit washer and dryer.

The area is quiet, the property is well-maintained, and the view of the sunsets from this beautiful unit are breathtaking. It was the perfect location for my husband, me, and our two adult children who were looking for a peaceful vacation, well away from the frenzy of a resort!

The condo was exactly what we were expecting and what we needed to make our trip to Maui a success. We did experience some issues with the washing machine, but the property maintenance and Epic Realty were so easy to get ahold of and did what they could to try and fix the problem without it hindering our stay. We appreciated the effort and the communication. Location was perfect, lots of places to walk to or short drives from the condo. Will definitely be back!

As described in listing. Side road was a little noisy but no big deal

We enjoyed this unit. It was a family of 5, two adults and three children. The place was spacious. You have a partial ocean view from the balcony, but you can capture some amazing photos. The pool was warm. The kids loved it. We had a budget. We didn’t want to spend too much money on stay because we wanted to use that money towards activities and food. If you’re looking for amenities, this isn’t it, but if you’re not, then this is perfect. Which we weren’t looking for “hotel amenities” because we weren’t planning on spending our time in the hotel. We knew we weren’t going to be home much because we wanted to explore the island. Also, this was so close to many activities we did. We did Maui Off Road which was literally 5 minutes from the place. We went to a Luau dinner at the Westin, it was 7 minutes away. We went to Honolua Bay to snorkel, it was about 10 minutes away. These were some of the many activities we did. Everything was nearby and accessible. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! I recommend this place if you’re in a budget because the nearby hotels are ridiculously expensive. Also, rent a gas operated car (not an electric car) so you can explore the island without limitation.

Great view and all the amenities that we needed were provided along with a very thoughtful welcoming basket of goodies. Renee was very helpful in getting questions answered and communicated very promptly on maintenance repairs that were scheduled during our stay but did not impose on any of our activities. We had a wonderful time.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo had everything you needed from fresh linens on the bed, great bath and beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, coolers for beach and road trip. The place was super clean, bed was comfortable and nice bathroooms. Great location to Napali Bay and Kapalua Bay for good snorkeling. Swam with sea turtle right off of condo beach, take a under water camera it is worth it. To the left of the condo was a small beach, plenty of room. We bought small tubes at Target, blew them up ourselves and floated in water. Pool was nice too, heated so very pleasurable. Do your grocery shopping by Target/Safeway or Costco by airport - you will save more . The grocery store by condo was super expensive.

This rental was excellent: we loved the amenities provided (especially the beach chairs and cooler), and the lanai had a beautiful view of the water. The place is in a great location with walkable beaches nearby, close to grocery stores, snorkel rental, etc. Parking was reasonable and easy. The buildings are being maintained well. Would stay again!

We enjoy our time here, wished we could have stayed longer! Mike has thought of every immensity that you may need to make your holiday stress free. We’ve never stayed at a place with so many little extras provided. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen, fridge with an ice maker, ice packs to use with the cooler when we went to the beach, beach chairs, etc etc. the view from the balcony was amazing! We loved our time spent there. Sunrise coffee and sunset wine. Even saw a rainbow! The condo was spotless, it’s clear Mike takes great care of his unit! Love the turtle tiles in the bathroom too. Pool was nice and a small beach available just a short walk. Bbq available, we didn’t use them but many others did. So handy! The location is great, close to many local restaurants. Easy access to head anywhere!Mike always provided timely communication. We would definitely recommend this little piece of beauty in Maui!

Location matches listing. Beach view with a quick walk to a sandy beach and quick access to Lahaina side beach locations.

Incredibly happy with this condo. The property as a whole is not quite as fancy as some others but this amazing condo made up for it. It was perfectly clean, beautifully decorated and stocked amazingly well. No beach in front of the property, but there is one a very short walk away. We watched sunsets from the lanai and the pool. We never had trouble finding a parking spot or had to wait for an elevator- that alone made it better than bigger properties we’ve stayed at in the past! Would definitely love to stay here again- thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!

Excellent ocean view. Convenient to many snorkeling sights. Sand bags on beach a little disappointing but still great for snorkeling and turtle watching.
Barbara M.
June 2025

Our stay in Maui was amazing, and the condo made it even better. It was spotlessly clean and offered a breathtaking ocean view from the 12th floor. Watching sea turtles in the surf from the balcony was a highlight of our trip! The condo was quiet and peaceful, conveniently located near beaches and activities. The unit is also well equipped with supplies for a day at the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will highly recommend it to friends visiting Maui.

We could’ve spent the whole week on the deck looking out over the water at Moloka’i! Very laid back resort, great for just relaxing. Only the sounds of maintenance and landscape workers during the morning/early afternoon hours to contend. Easy access by car to all the goings-on from Lahaina to Kapalua. We’ll be coming back!

Mikes condo has everyyhing you need for a great stay in Maui, with amazing views from the 12 floor lanai. Having stayed in many vrbo's & air bnb's around the globe. Mikes may be the best fully stocked place we have stayed in.one suggestion would be to add a pair of quality boogie boards. This unit is also in a great location, less then 8 minute drive to 3 of the best snorkeling spots on the Island

It was our first trip to Maui and it was great! This location… by far is best to see the turtles in the ocean and swim with them! Great experience and we will be coming back. I’m already trying to get the same room for next year!

May 2025

This was the perfect vacation spot for me in Maui. I loved that it was a one-bedroom unit with a full kitchen and even a washer and dryer—it made things super convenient and comfortable. The bed, linens, and pillows were extra comfortable which really matters to me since I’m pretty picky about sleep comfort.One of the best parts was the view from the lanai. It looked out over the ocean, with waves crashing, palm trees swaying, the pool below, and at night, the soft glow of tiki torches. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to watch the sunset while enjoying dinner from the lanai.This was hands down my favorite place I’ve stayed, and I’m already planning to come back for my birthday next year. Five plumerias from me!

May 2025

We have nothing but positive things to say about this vacation rental. Check in was easy, (aside from me inadvertently deleting our welcome packet)! Though we had to pay, parking was never an issue. The condo was very clean, nicely stocked with kitchenware and beach accessories as well. Our mattresses, pillows and sheets were very comfortable. For us, the location was perfect. But the best part of this unit is the huge lanai with the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean! We enjoyed our morning coffee watching and listening to the birds in the Palm trees and spotting the sea turtles coming up to the surface for air. There is nothing like falling asleep and waking up to an ocean breeze and the sounds of crashing waves! Air conditioning is available if needed. The pool is heated and we cooked on the available grills to make a few delicious dinners! We all agree, we will stay here again when we return.

We were very pleased with our stay. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to local restaurants and shops if we wanted, and beach access was a breeze. Beautiful views, comfortable bed, ample amenities. We really appreciated having beach chairs and a cooler available to use and laundry detergent. It was nice to be able to wash our clothes after a day at the beach! The staff on site was very welcoming and kind. Parking was easy and the area was safe and clean. Beautiful grounds. We would definitely stay again

Our family of three stayed here for Spring Break. It was just right - a "home away from home", not busy and had the right amenities for our needs. We wanted something a little out of the way from the main Kaanipali resort area, and Kahana point was perfect. It had a little village coffee place, and walking distance to a few small markets. The main feature for us was the lovely pool area. We sat by the pool daily overlooking the ocean with our 6.5-year daughter. It was never overwhelmed with too many people. Just a nice spot for quiet, small groups and families with kids. We loved that our daughter often met other kids and could play with them too. The vibe was so relaxed and friendly. We loved having this apartment as our home base. We could get up and get going to our activities anywhere on the island, and get home anytime we needed to. There was always parking space and easy access to the building. The apartment had a washer/dryer unit so we could wash and dry clothes and towels, which reduced the amount of things we needed to bring. It also made it easy to have multiple pool/beach activities in the day without having to deal with wet towels. Having a small kitchen and fridge saved us time and money. We could buy prepped foods from the market, eat cereal, re-heat leftovers and so on. The balcony in the unit was wonderful. Cool breezes and views! The building is indeed older and is not sparkly new, but no problem at all. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Recommend!

This place is even more beautiful than the pictures. Close to the best beaches and restaurants on Maui. Spend a week surrounded by the blue expanse and rhythm of waves. You won't regret it.

great condo on the water with the waves sending you to sleep every night. Unit was a great one with wrap around lani so you have a view of the ocean and the pool. High enough to watch the turtles every day in the water and see a few whales and dolphins. Thanks for a great stay
