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.

The Palms at Wailea delivers a relaxed, upscale condo-resort vibe with lush landscaping, a quiet atmosphere, and lovely sunset views. Guests love the location: a short drive (and walkable for many) to Keawakapu and Wailea beaches, the coastal boardwalk, shops, and restaurants, plus easy access to Kihei. The ocean-view pool and hot tub are a frequent highlight, and many guests spend mornings or evenings on large lanais soaking in the scenery.

Condos are spacious and well suited to families and longer stays, with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, and generous outdoor space. Many units are recently updated, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked—often including beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and snorkel gear. Hosts and managers are commonly praised for quick, friendly communication, making check‑in easy and resolving minor issues fast.

Things to know: amenities and finishes vary by individually owned unit, and some are older or lightly worn—check listings for recent updates and A/C details. A recurring theme is limited or bedroom‑only A/C, so living areas can be warm; road noise can affect perimeter buildings; and the walk to the beach can be hilly—many guests drive with gear. Pool rules skew quiet (limited toys, no music/alcohol) and shade is limited; private BBQs are restricted in many units with shared grills provided. Typical for the tropics, occasional ants/bugs pop up; supplies are often “starter only.” If sensitive to any of the above, look for inner‑ring or renovated units with full A/C and confirm stairs/elevator, bedroom privacy (some second bedrooms use sliding doors), and grill access before booking.

Great condo. Close to all Wailea has to offer. Well stocked. Comfortable beds. Enjoyed our stay!
Lindsey G.

We enjoyed this ground floor unit with AC and comfortable beds. The property is a little dated compared to the upper scale properties nearby but it’s a great location and price for Wailea. The only complaint would be the pool is way too warm/not refreshing. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was beautiful and perfect for our family’s trip! Jillian was SO accommodating and quick to respond to my questions. The amenities provided at the property were so helpful so I didn’t have to overpack for my family since we were there for a week. I would definitely book this property again!

The condo was fine. The Host (Coldwell Banker) was terrible.Two days and 1 day prior to the trip, I emailed and texted the Host (Coldwell Banker) stating that I will be arriving late afternoon on a Sunday and I wanted to make sure I would receive the check-in-code prior to arrival (since I would be arriving on a Sunday). I received a generic response stating "we will respond to your email". I arrived Sunday evening and no code had been sent to me. I called the "Host phone number" listed on the VRBO booking and I received a recording "we are closed and will open Monday at 9 am". I had to find a Hotel room for myself and my children Sunday night. I had paid for check-in on Sunday through the VRBO website but did not receive my check-in Door code until 5:14 AM Monday morning. The Hotel clerk said this is not the first time they had seen this problem. If the VRBO booking you are considering lists Coldwell Banker as the Host, you would be wise to choose a different place to stay.

Great condo, great quiet area but close enough when you want more. Has everything you need-chairs, towels, kitchen items, snorkel gear! Highly recommend!

Brian was so amazing to work with. He greeted us when we arrived. Showed us the layout, parking, pool, and everything we needed to feel right at home. His place is on the first floor with excellent access to parking. The place was perfect for our needs. It’s such a beautiful place to stay in. Stunning views of the sunset. Beautiful pool and lounging area. We had a wonderful stay.

We had the most amazing stay! Jillian was very communicative and so great to work with. This place was 10/10 and we would definitely stay here again. The proximity to the beach was awesome. The pool was also perfect and very close walk from the condo. The condo was stocked with everything we needed. Thank you so much for making our trip seamless, comfortable, and easy!

The best place to stay with an amazing view everyday. Lovely balcony fully open sliding doors to inside. Comfortable beds and furniture. Had everything we needed to cook all our meals. Beautiful property close to walk to beach. Toys and boogie board for our kids to play. Beach chairs. I could not ask for more… only to come visit again.
Shawna M.
June 2026

This is an amazing place to stay! Home is very cozy. The master bedroom is gorgeous. The entire place is awesome. The second room has one full size bed, not two twins. The sofa bed is so comfortable, as they provided a thick padding along with luxury sheets and a light and welcoming comforter. The kitchen is fully stocked and we cooked every day. Everything works and we did not feel that anything was missing. They provided everything you need for the beach. We have 3 kids: 22, 15 and 8. Everyone had a fantastic time! Mahalo for making our stay another and even better home away from home!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was superb - right near the beach and a short drive from shopping and sights. THe condo was well appointed with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as select beach gear. The bathrooms did not have a hair dryer, so make sure to bring your own. Unfortunately, the condo is VERY dated and needs a renovation. Specifically, the bedding needs to be replaced. The bedspreads are the type that need to be dry-cleaned are therefore are not being cleaned after each guest. The first thing I did after my arrival was rip off all the bedspreads and put them in the closets so that my children did not use them in error. In addition, the closest are very cluttered and could use a clean-out. Generally the location helped to make up for how dated the space was, however if I were to return, I would stay someplace else.

Stunning condo!! The home was large and welcoming. Beautiful back patio with multiple seating areas. Close proximity to the pool and hot tub. Very beautifully landscaped grounds. Less than a half mile walk to the nearest beach. Shopping and golf nearby. We would return to this property in a heartbeat. We had an awesome time!!

Amazing place. Close walk to the beach. Within a 5-10 minute drive of everything you’d want to see, do, or eat on the south side of Maui.Place itself is recently remodeled. Everything was very clean and new. Host is super responsive. Check in was very easy.

We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, and very spacious, with everything we needed. The ocean view was breathtaking. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. Highly recommended!

June 2026

Very comfortable unit. Welcomed the undercover patio. Appreciated the marked light switches. Kitchen amazingly well stocked with cooking supplies. Only complaints were no ice upon arrival and we were hot and stick; also a bathtub in master bath with shower felt very dangerous until we found a rubber mat in second bathroom. The bedframe had sharp corners that extended inches beyond the mattress that were hazards for us until we covered them with pillows

First I want to say the property management was so kind, helpful and quick in getting some things squared away, I really appreciated them! Overall the unit was mostly clean, and was as pictured. I booked this one because I needed the 2 beds in one room, so that was great! I’ve stayed in this complex quite a lot, it’s my favorite one in the area! But for us, this unit fell a bit short. It was more dated, not quite as well stocked, or decorated as the other ones I’ve stayed in. Having access to some more linen, and paper products would have helpful. Because there’s no shower door or curtain in the master, the water sprays out all over the bathroom floor, so it there’s a lot of clean up to do after each shower. They did have some extras like an umbrella and chairs so that was definitely a plus, adding a little cooler to the collection would be super helpful too! I ended up renting one from snorkel bobs. This unit is also on the busy road so it can be a little more noisy than other units. Thanks again to the property management for helping our stay be a little better!

The description and pictures in the listing are accurate and even understated. The unit is nicely decorated, well furnished, and comfortable. The grounds and pool are well maintained. The ONLY (minor) detail we didn't know is what kind of pods the espresso machine used and where to buy more. The CB Hostess provided that information when we checked in. :-)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is great, beautiful, but it is warm in the main living room and kitchen. It's ok at night when you can enjoy the outside and it's cooler, but it's just a little stuffy. Otherwise the place is amazing. Highly recommend

June 2026

Jillian was EXCEPTIONAL, her communication is top tier. Responds so lightning fast and helped to answer any and every question we had. Would definitely stay at one of her properties again. The property had everything we needed for our week long stay. Having the laundry at our disposal was actually much more useful than we had thought. The area was quiet, conveniently located, and easy to access.
Caroline T.
June 2026

I would definitely stay here again. The unit was clean and everything was in working order. The beds were comfortable and the AC kept the place nice and cool. There were four of us staying here and there was plenty of space. The pool and grounds were well kept. All of the times we went to the pool area there was plenty of space and typically only another couple or family there. We used the grill a few times and it is located very close to this unit, and they are in great condition. I enjoyed running around the block early mornings. It is a hilly mile and a half around with partial views of the ocean and palm trees. The beach is walking distance, although carrying chairs and umbrella driving was preferred. They provide initial toiletries and that was communicated to us so make sure to bring your own (shampoo and soap). It is walking distance to shops, restaurants and cafes. I was not disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay, the condo was so comfortable and very well equipped. Also, it is so close to the beach and great restaurants. Looking forward to our next trip!

The property is as described. It’s clean and updated. We loved all of the great suggestions that were provided by the owner in the book. We enjoyed the pool. We did suggest to the employees at the desk to provide pool towels for guests who may be arriving and can’t check in just yet or for guests who are checking out and have a later flight. The pool is very nice. First impressions are everything so I suggest that the curtains and window coverings be in the open position when guests arrive and the A/C be left on for guests. Opening the curtains would offer natural light and refreshing A/C upon arrival would leave a lasting impression. Overall we had a very good experience. The location is fantastic. The Shops at Wailea are close, the boardwalk to the various beaches is within walking distance, the food trucks aren’t very far away, lots of great restaurants, and a very upscale and safe neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. We loved Hawaii!

We have stayed at this condo twice, and we are daydreaming about our next visit. The condo is in an excellent location away from the road and close to the Palms at Wailea pool. We could walk to the Shops at Wailea for our morning coffee and then along the oceanfront path for beautiful water views, sea turtle spotting and exploring tide pools. We stayed here with our two-year-old granddaughter and her parents. The condo includes beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, snorkel gear, and pool toys. The Port-a-crib was used as well. The condo is spotless and the mattresses are newer and extremely comfortable. Jillian answered any questions within an hour. We loved staying here! The owner has her recommended restaurants and excursions in a notebook. All of her choices were excellent! We highly recommend the food carts at South Maui Gardens in Kihei (also a recommendation from one of the flight attendants on our flight to Maui).

Beautiful condo and property. The air conditioning in the primary suite was great. If there were substantial breezes, the main living area was comfortable but was definitely really warm at times with no AC. We used all of the fans! Boogie boards, beach chairs and towels were a definite plus. Kitchen was well stocked. Overall a really great stay

Everything was perfect: the whole complex was very well kept, convenient location and this unit itself. There is a club house with a nice pool and a hot tub, everything well taken care of with lush greenery. The condo was spotless clean, kitchen very well equipped with new and good quality items and appliances. Living room and bedrooms nice and very comfortable. Big lanai with a box containing beach equipment. There was also an iron and ironing board, hairdryer and even hair straightener for our convenience. Big thank you to our host Cara!

This condo is amazing! The location is great, Wailea Shops are nearby and there is about 15-minute walk to the beach. Parking at the beach is sometime a problem, so walking was a good option. The whole complex is beautifully kept, pool and a hot tub are clean and well maintained. There are many grilling stations equipped with good Weber bbqs. This unit is so well equipped I was absolutely surprised, the kitchen has really everything including… the meat thermometer. Enough pots and plates, everything new and good quality. Beds are comfortable and really there was absolutely nothing to complain about. Clean, comfortable and very nice.

Clean and well supplied property. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances and things. The property is next to the road and is subject to allot of traffic noise. The property is centrally located near most beaches and shopping. The beach is a 15 to 20 minute walk for older folks.

This is our first time over on the Wailea side as our rental and it was great. The unit had everything we needed and wasn’t lacking for anything. It was very clean and be located. Too many great beaches. The complex was also very well kept including the pool which was beautiful. We will definitely be returning.

Patio sliders are very difficult to open. LR ceiling fan does not operate well. Stove and microwave clocks need repair. Patio and dining chair pads need replacing as they provide little cushion. TV operating instructions are out of date.

We loved this property and unit. Four adults and very roomy and comfortable. If you don’t mind the noise of the traffic this is ideally situated. If you want quiet space it might not be for you.

The city no longer allows barbecues on the lanais or decks of condominiums due to the fire danger. The complex provided community grills which were very clean and well maintained, but for years I have enjoyed grilling on the lanais and miss the convenience. Not the owners doing however.

Beautiful property & location with parking just outside of the condo. If using a cane or walking impaired the two flights of stairs should be considered.

The location is a wonderful spot in Wailea. The pool and condo grounds are beautiful. The condo offers a large lanai and lovely lawn with a clean grill area. Like so many condos in Hawaii this condo needs a deep clean. However, the condo is comfortable and we enjoyed our two week stay.
Elizabeth J.
May 2026

The palms is a beautiful and peaceful complex in a convenient location to access all that Wailea area has to offer. Not the shortest walk to the beach compared to other options, but spacious units with large lanais and elevated ocean views from the pool area. This was a last minute rental, and our hosts were very responsive with check in happening within an hour of booking the stay. They provided clear instructions for check in and the unit contains clear guides to operate TVs, WIFI, etc. Any questions we had were answered promptly by written responses and/or a follow up phone call.
Rex H.
May 2026

Overall the condo was a solid 3.5 out of 5. The kitchen is a little lacking in supplies compared to other condos we have stayed in Hawaii and the pans definitely need replacing. It would be nice to also have some sand toys for kids (again, these are things that have been supplied in other condos we have stayed in). The beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. We would probably stay again.

Aloha! This was our second time staying at this property in Maui and was just as good as the first time, if not better! The condo is clean and comfortable, conveniently located, close to one of the best beaches on the island and the view - WOW! Paul’s an awesome host. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Mahalo!
Brad R.

Great location in a quiet area. The place was very clean and had everything supplied for a comfortable stay. Lots of towels, beach chairs, coolers and an umbrella made the trip easy. The property was immaculate and exceptionally well maintained. The BBQ's were cleaned daily and looked like brand new. Pool was great. Close to great beaches and the Shops of Wailea. Would definitely stay again!

Nice unit and very well stocked. Tiny ocean view but quiet. The one negative is the outdoor furniture is not comfortable at all. Durable but not something you want to spend much time on which is unfortunate as I like sitting out on the deck.
