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 Mauian consistently wins guests over for its unbeatable oceanfront setting in South Kihei. The building sits right between Kamaole I and II, so you can stroll to sandy, swimmable beaches in minutes, snorkel a reef teeming with turtles directly out front, and watch whales in season from your lanai. Travelers love the walkability to coffee, groceries, rentals, and restaurants across the street, and the peaceful, well‑kept grounds with a small oceanfront pool. The rooftop terrace with grills is a standout for sunset dinners and 360-degree views.

Condos are individually owned, and many are newly remodeled, sparkling clean, and very well stocked with full kitchens and beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, even snorkel sets). Hosts and managers are frequently praised as responsive and helpful. Some units have air conditioning (often split systems in bedrooms or throughout), while many rely on ceiling fans and trade winds; most guests sleep comfortably with breezes, though AC can be appreciated in hotter months. Parking is easy, Wi‑Fi solid, and the location makes a great base for exploring Maui.

A few themes to set expectations: quality varies by unit—some older condos can feel dated or have maintenance/cleanliness hiccups, and occasional tropical pests do pop up in Hawaii, though issues are generally addressed quickly. Street‑side units lack ocean views and can have more road noise; oceanfront units are prized for the sound of the waves. The pool is smaller (often cool) and there’s no hot tub, and community rules keep the lawn and pool quiet (limited toys/floaties), which many appreciate but can feel restrictive for very active kids. In AC‑equipped condos, the lanai can warm up when condensers are running. Overall, book a renovated, ocean‑view unit with AC if those details matter most, and you’ll likely have a relaxed, beachfront stay with spectacular sunsets and daily turtle sightings.

The condo is the best location in Kihei in my personal opinion. Right between the two best beaches and a pool that is situated ocean front for great views. Amenities across the street easy to access. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Lower floor makes everything easy! Great condo with everything u need for an easy going vacation! The rental company is wonderful to deal with and available whenever you need them for questions.

The view is spectacular and is visible from the master as well as the living room. Easy walking access to more than one beach is just what we wanted. We really enjoyed the spacious lanai. We also loved being able to walk to shops and restaurants. We were able to staying cool enough with the fans in late November, but wouldn't trust it in the summer. The condo is well equipped for cooking. Be aware that the bedspreads and couch are white and beige and the rules about keeping them clean caused anxiety. We knew there would be noise from the street but were disappointed by multiple cars blaring booming music several times a day. General noise from the park wasn't an issue except for the park resident right outside the windows that ranted loudly a few times a day for most of our ten days.

Very clean and well stocked condo. We loved the location and easy access to the beach. We had difficulties with the a/c on the first night and they had it serviced the next day and it worked perfectly after. The WiFi was available, but we had trouble connecting. I didn’t contact the agency about it because I took it as a sign from the universe to take a break from work :) But if you need WiFi, keep that in mind. But since the agency was so responsive to other issues, I feel confident they would be able to help.I was impressed with the kitchen equipment, especially the pots and pans. They were in much better condition than I expect in rentals. I would rent here again.

Everything about this place was great. The views, the decorations, and the amenities. The hosts were great, accommodating, and responsive. The only complaint we have is the small water heater located under the sink. It was small and not hot enough for 3 adults, two with long thick hair. If you know anything about girls with long thick hair, it takes a while to wash, condition, and rinse. We had to separate our time in between showers which became inconvenient after a day of snorkeling and trying to get ready at same time for dinner.

The top floor condo was wonderful! The view is incredible. We enjoyed morning coffee on the lanai. Everything you could need is at this condo. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The sunsets were beautiful from the lanai. The Royal Mauian is a quiet and relaxing complex.

This was our fifth time in Maui and the best one yet because this condo is truly special. The location is unbeatable — everything you need for breakfast or lunch is right across the road — but the real magic is the view. Waking up to the ocean, spending evenings on the lanai watching sunsets and sea turtles… absolutely breathtaking. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was soul-soothing.On top of that, the host was incredibly kind and responsive, which made our stay feel effortless. We will absolutely be back!

November 2025

Absolutely stunning balcony views, from sunrise to sunset. This is about as close you can get to ocean without being in the ocean. Loved hearing the waves lapping at night.Apartment is equipped with chairs and towels for a great beach day. You can literally walk from door step into the ocean and snorkel with turtles and tropical fish. Be sure to hit the water early for snorkelling or surfing, the trade winds whip up by noon. The building parking lot was ample and easy to find a space each night, very handy. Kitchen was suitably equipped for a short stay. But be sure to check drawers/cupboards for supplies before going out and cooking any large or elaborate meals.Location is fantastic in between Kihei and Wailea. Walking distance to shops and food trucks and The Cove. Very quiet at night.Would happily stay here again!

Everything was exactly as promised. Wonderful view and easy access to everything. My only complaint would be that it does get warm inside if the wind is not blowing. It’s states no AC so I can’t deduct a star for that. There are fans in the unit which helps.

This condo was absolutely wonderful, and everything we hoped for. The views from the lanai were perfect, whether enjoying breakfast and coffee, watching the water activities, or the amazing sunsets. It really could not be beat. The condo was clean and well amenized with everything you need, including for snorkeling or the beach. (The reef off the lanai is the most perfect snorkel spot!) We were concerned about the condo not having A/C, but we kept the windows open and took advantage of the daily winds, and it was very comfortable and actually a delight! Communication was great, and although there was nothing we needed during our stay, I know it would have been provided, if asked. Our stay was truly perfect, and we can’t wait to come back! Mahalo!

We loved staying in a ground floor unit. It made the space feel larger and was easier to “refresh” a drink and watch the sunset. The lack of air conditioning was more than we bargained for however. We shared the condo with another couple, and we used the smaller bedroom and second bathroom. Super awkward as the doors are louvre, and open directly into the living area. Not at all sound proof, so it didn’t have a sense of privacy. There weren’t beach chairs or a cooler, so we had to purchase and leave those. Cost was the same as to rent them. Next time we’ll look for another unit with AC and different set up.

It's a beautiful location, beautiful views of the beach. Great location for snorkeling and restaurants in Kihei. We especially loved the sunsets where many would gather outside for pictures. The beds slept very comfortably. The hosts were very accommodating with things we brought up and even spent 30 minutes giving us advice of where to visit during our stay! We really appreciated that given Maui was our first time in Hawaii.The only thing, in our opinion, to bring it to a 5 star would be central air conditioning or portable air conditioning units from Home Depot in each room. It was quite hot in the space. But, that is my problem for not asking before we booked.

We had the best beach vacation. The location is perfect. The views from the balcony were gorgeous. Direct access to the beach. Great snorkeling. The food trucks in the area were delicious. Property was clean and well appointed. The owners were very responsive. Staff on property were very nice and helpful as well. I would recommend this property. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Beautiful unit! Could not ask for more! Stunning views overlooking the ocean and beach, which are just a few steps away from the property! Super clean and had everything you could imagine you might need...even a set of 25-lb. hand weights to get a little workout in! Stores & shops right across the street, so no need to even leave the property! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this unit & will be back!!!

Condo was perfect for our family of four (two boys 5&9). Kitchen is stocked better than my own . A/C and laundry made for a comfortable stay. We loved walking the condo’s beach chairs and umbrella to the beach so close to the property. Loads of great restaurants right across the street. Visited the Cinnamon Roll Place and Cafe O’Lei multiple times. Location can’t be beat. Condo very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you could want. Laura is a super host and communicated proactively. One note is the beds are very soft, which is preferable for some. We like firm mattresses, so had back pain. Just something to know when booking.

Spacious and clean! Perfect for our family with littles and my parents (grandma and grandpa). Convenient location. Neighbors a nice beach with a lifeguard on duty. Can walk to coffee, dinner and shopping. Pool was clean and refreshing after a day at the beach. Everyone at Ali’i was so helpful and kind.

We had a blast at this well located property. The views are great, it is walkable to lots of food options and a short walk to two lovely beaches. The bedrooms were as advertised and comfortable. One minor bummer is the air conditioner unit on the porch, which is rather loud and blasts hot air on to the porch. Likely a non-issue outside of the summer months, but if the AC is on, using the lanai is not as enjoyable. Other than that, the place was excellent and we had a wonderful stay.

Perfect location and beautiful view! The property was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. Right in front of 2 beautiful beaches where you can snorkel or play at the beach. Across the street from shops and restaurants. Loved spending time on the patio looking for sea turtles! Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again!

Everything is as represented on VRBO. Barbara was prompt in responding to all questions. We had absolutely no problems during our stay. The unit is situated between two amazing beaches perfect for swimming with snorkeling at each end. We sat on the lanai every chance we had watching turtles every morning and beautiful sunsets every evening. We have stayed in several VRBO listings over the years and I have to say that this kitchen had virtually everything we could ever ask and was well stocked. This condo receives our high recommendation.

We loved our stay at this condo! My favorite part was enjoying morning coffee on the lanai while watching the turtles right out front. The beach was just steps from the building — perfect for peaceful morning walks and catching the beautiful sunsets in the evening. The condo itself was spotless, tidy, and everything was in perfect working order.Another bonus was the location — easy walking distance to great restaurants right across the street, plus shaved ice for a treat. While the unit doesn’t have AC, opening the sliding doors let in the afternoon breeze, which kept things comfortable. We would definitely love to stay here for our next visit!
Deborah N.
September 2025

Well, the unit was nice but no A/C turned out to be a big problem…90 degrees every day and the wind stops at sunset. Ceiling fans rotate about 2 mph so they provide little help. Had to sleep with screen doors open in a neighborhood that had some seedy elements. One night there was a large police presence and a guy screaming on the sidewalk having some drug or psychiatric episode. Homeless sometimes camping next to north side of the property., as well.We asked that the dead bolt be fixed on our sliding glass door…never happened. Although, They did replace a broken coffee grinder promptly (go figure). The unit has a very nice view and the area has nice restaurants, stores ,etc within walking distance. Glad we used it more as a base camp than a resort. Wailea it is not.Also, saw many turtles off the rocky shoreline and the roof top view was spectacular.

We had a wonderful 10-day stay in Maui! Skye, our host, was fantastic—always quick with communication and attentive in resolving the small issues that came up. The newly renovated condo was bright, classy, and very comfortable, with everything we needed. We especially loved relaxing on the lanai, watching turtles swimming and taking in the endless ocean views at sunset. The location was perfect—close to great snorkeling spots, dining, shopping, and plenty of beaches to explore. We can’t wait to return!
