What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 925 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.

Travelers consistently describe Luana Kai in Kihei as a laid‑back, family‑friendly condo resort with gorgeous ocean views and a peaceful, well‑kept setting. Many highlight sunrise coffees and sunset cocktails on the lanai, with frequent whale and turtle sightings across the wide lawn and park between the buildings and the shore. The pool, hot tub, saunas, and plentiful gas grills/outdoor kitchen get high marks, and hosts/property managers are praised for clear communication and quick responses. Units are generally clean, comfortable, and impressively stocked—full kitchens, beach chairs/umbrellas/coolers, and often in‑suite laundry—making it easy to settle in.

The location is a major plus. Guests love being close to Kihei’s groceries, food trucks, and restaurants, and say it’s a convenient base for day trips to Wailea, Makena, Haleakalā, the Road to Hāna, and West Maui. The grassy park out front has public pickleball and tennis courts that many visitors enjoy, and parking is straightforward. Larger and multi‑level condos suit families and groups, and many reviewers mention quiet nights and a relaxed, neighborly vibe around the resort.

Common heads‑ups: the beach in front is better for walks, sunsets, and spotting turtles than for swimming or snorkeling, so most guests drive a few minutes to Kihei/Wailea’s sandier beaches. Sound from the busy pickleball courts can run from about 8 a.m. to sundown, which some loved and others found less tranquil. Buildings are walk‑ups without elevators, so upper‑floor access means stairs; loft bedrooms can run warmer. Air conditioning varies by unit (some have none or charge extra). A minority of reviews note dated decor, occasional deep‑cleaning needs, ants, or road noise in road‑facing units, but most issues were minor and resolved quickly. Overall, reviewers say Luana Kai offers an easy, well‑equipped home base with standout sunsets and a central Maui location.

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was clean and as described inside. Well stocked with kitchen utensils and bathroom items. Tami was great to communicate with back and forth. Very accommodating. The beach near by is not the best to walk on if you are going for long walks as the beach can be small if the tide is in.

Did not check in for 3 days as offices not open the pool code changed when we were there but did not tell us. Shower door handles were loose. Other wise the dynamo was a bit of a disturbance and interuotion

The condo was great. It was in a great location and they had everything you'd need for a large family to stay at the beach: beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, tennis rackets, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The view is beyond words! We could have sat and watched the ocean, mountains, and clouds the entire time. The area is very peaceful and has quick access to the beach. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The hosts responded quickly with questions. I would book again next time I am in the area. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved our stay! The place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that made it easy to settle in and unwind. It was super clean and had everything we needed — the kitchen was fully stocked, and there were great amenities for outdoor fun, too. The location was perfect: convenient yet peaceful. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation.

We loved our stay at Luana Kai! The suite was as described, spacious and well equipped for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Beautiful view of beach, grounds and pool from the lanai where we spent a lot of time. I had originally been looking at 1 bedroom condos with a sofa bed, and my husband reminded me that teenagers like to sleep in late and leave their stuff everywhere, so we found this great 2 bedroom condo!I was happy when we arrived to find that there was adequate dish soap, paper towel and even laundry soap, as I thought we'd have to buy those from the listing description. The fridge had lots of leftover condiments, and many spices in the drawer, so didn't need to buy all those either. It was so convenient having our own laundry machines, and the barbecues in the pool area were always clean and at least a couple available when we needed one.The only suggestion I would make, would be some sort of blinds or curtains for the sliding door, as the late afternoon sun really heated the condo up. The breeze through from the sliding door to the window in the front bedroom was great at cooling it off after sunset though, and several fans were available also.We loved that the location was so central to everything around the island, but still having a beach right out front to walk or splash in the water. This was an amazing accomodation for our trip to Maui!

The location is the best quality of this rental. There are so many things in walking distance. Great view of the park area and partial ocean. The cleanliness of this unit was subpar. The curtains were dirty and falling off the rod. The pictures on the listing are not up-to-date. The trashcan was broken, the sink in the bathroom had soap residue around it and there was a large stain on the ironing board. There weren’t accessible outlets to plug in your phone on the nightstand. When I arrived with my rental car, the valet told me that private rooms within the hotel are not able to valet in their parking garage. This was news to me because the rental property told me days before I arrived that I would be able to valet in their parking garage. I had to park my car down the street at another hotel and if I wanted to valet my car and take it out at any time it would be 55. That is 15 more/day than the valet at the hotel of the rental. Some of these may seem like minor inconveniences, but make a difference in the long run. The hotel staff was pleasant and the amenities were decent. The rental staff was responsive. Overall, this unit needs a few upgrades.

We had an amazing stay in Maui! Trisha, the property manager, was incredibly communicative and flexible—especially with our late flight times—which made everything smooth and stress-free.The location is perfect: centrally located with easy access to shopping, beaches, hiking, and everything Maui has to offer. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the pool was great, and the beach right in front of the property was perfect for morning walks and sunset views.The unit was well-stocked with everything we needed for a beach vacation—chairs, towels, a cooler, snorkel gear, and more. We traveled as a family of four (with two teens), and there was always something for everyone to enjoy. The new HVAC system kept us cool and comfortable, and I especially loved relaxing on the ocean-facing patio with my morning coffee. We even had a little cardinal visit every morning that my daughter named “Fred”—a sweet and funny touch to our days.We’d absolutely love to return—this place truly felt like a gem!

We had a wonderful stay at your very welcoming condo. The ambiance was delightful, and we absolutely loved the perfect view and the kitchen. Overall, our experience was exceptional. One of the things we appreciated most was being away from the street, allowing us to enjoy the oceanfront view, which was incredibly relaxing. We highly recommend this place and would love to return in the future. Thank you once again for accommodating us!

We had such a great time at this beautiful condo. We loved the location and all surrounding food options. The condo was stocked with everything we could have needed and more. The breeze through the condo was amazing and we loved spending mornings on the lanai drinking coffee and my daughter loved night swims in the pool. We will definitely be back !

We booked our stay based on reviews of the property and the condo unit we selected. The condo was stunning and the Luana Kai property was well kept. Luke was easy to communicate with and always responded within 24 hours. The condo had the essentials to cook our own meals, and the condo property had gas grills on site. We will definitely be back.

I highly recommend this property. It is quiet, just off the beach and an amazing view.The main road has portions that aren't really walkable, however everything is a very short drive away. Parking around Kihei was never an issue.Again. Great property/Great Experience

Overall, the place was great for our stay. Furnishings seem out dated but were still nice. Some of the finishings upstairs were lacking and seemed rushed; the trim worked was not complete and as a person that pays attention to detail, this was something I noticed everyday.

My daughter stayed with you for more than 4 weeks. Everybody was very helpful and kind. Check-in was all online and worked out easily with no problems... even when she was needing the room one day earlier. Everything was clean and she was able to cook easy meals by herself. Location is absolutely great, only footsteps from a nice park, the beach and the shopping mile. We highly recommend your place to everyone. It was just perfect with laundry room, gym and even a nice swimmingpool.

This was a very clean condo. Advertised photos were accurate. It was warm upon arrival, but cooled down after opening the windows and screen door (late May). There are ceiling fans in each room and two portable floor fans. The furnishings on the deck are comfortable with a great view. The complex is very well maintained with a clean pool and nice staff.

This lovely home was as advertised, and then some. Convenient location, comfortable and attractive living, fantastic views and perhaps the most well-stocked rental we’ve ever visited. Jean is an excellent host, providing lots of information to help enhance the stay (eg great restaurant picks) and very responsive, yet unintrusive. We hope to return someday!

I hate to spoil the surprise you will get on your first night in this wonderful condo but the sunset views from the lanai are absolutely spectacular! Get yourself a bottle of wine and let Maui treat you to an nearly hour long light show that will delight and captivate you every single night!The location is also great! We traveled the island but no place felt more comfortable than Kihei. It's laid back, convenient, close to multiple great beaches and restaurants. It is also pretty central so day trips to other parts of the island are easy.The park between the condo and the beach is a wonderful asset. Nearby pickleball and tennis courts or just a walk in the soft grass to the beach are at your disposal. The tiny beach at the end of the park is almost like a private beach for condo residents. It was never crowded. It gets rocky fast so it is not really a swimming beach but it is great for hanging out and wading.The little air conditioner wasn't enough for the back bedroom but opening the windows at night cooled things down nicely. We had a wonderful time and I would absolutely stay there again!

My husband and I brought our 2 adult children ages 20 & 22 to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation before she goes on to grad school. It was a perfect week with weather, activities and dining. We loved the location of the condo and how close to beach it was. We enjoyed walking down in the evening and hearing the waves. Pool and hot tub nice after a long day of hiking. People were friendly and very informative on things to do and places to eat. We will be back for our 4th visit to Maui!
