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.

Wonderful. Great location, all the amenities you want it need, spectacular views from lanai, proximity to beach, everything exceeded my expectations.

We were stunned with the beauty of the location. We were able to see turtles eating on the rocks. A swimming beach was a few minutes walk down the beach walk. The condo was nicely furnished, very clean and comfortable. We’ve stayed on Maui many times but this was the best experience ever,

Beautiful view and great place to stay. This condo provides the beach towels, chairs and even a sand bucket! I also loved that there was plenty of laundry detergent and dishwasher soap. (You know how some places give you a "starter pack"... at this condo it is just included.)The location between two beaches was great. Loved the chairs in the grass area for sitting and reading. Sunsets were incredible. We enjoyed the walking distance to restaurants and ice cream.I will share that this condo association is more for adults or parents with little ones. They have a rule for no games, no balls/sports. In the pool, there are signs posted that says you can't even play marco-polo. They clearly don't want the noise. We were traveling with tweens and teens and it was hard keeping them from playing games on the grass and in the pool. While we were at the pool, a man came hurrying out of a condo to yell at some teenagers (not our kids thankfully) for misbehaving. He pointed out the cameras and told them that he was watching them from inside. So just beware of this.The condo owner is great to work with. Responds to questions well. Also, there were previous comments in the reviews about bedroom air conditioning noise...must have been fixed. It was not a problem for us.

Our stay was great! The condo was very comfortable and in a fabulous location with an incredible view - including the sea turtles! The building is well maintained and everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. We hope to be back again!

What a wonder stay at the Royal Mauian. The home has the perfect west facing lanai for the perfect viewing of the sunsets every night. The rocks beyond the green lawn and swaying palm trees has turtles swimming in the surf - fun to see in the mornings, along with paddle boarders, snorkelers in the morning. The Kihei Cove is very close for surf lessons at Kalama Park. Royal Mauian sits between Kamaole Beach Parks I and II; it’s a very easy walk to the beach. Beautiful roof top patio with grills and tables/chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped; albeit a little tight quarters. The home doesn’t have AC. Being from Texas, this was a concern before our trip; but all concerns were erased. The sea breeze more than adequately kept the place cool. We were very comfortable the entire stay in July. Good WiFi. However, The TVs are not smart TVs, so be sure to bring your adapter to connect your phone or computer to the TV if you want to access your streaming services. The start up essentials were plentiful and very convenient to plug right in and enjoy your stay. There were plenty of towels, beach towels, beach gear, chairs, umbrellas, etc.Great stay, great location, perfect views. Wonderful home.

We spotted turtles from the balcony every single day, and even caught a few meteors during the evening shower—such a memorable experience. Although the ocean out front was great for snorkeling, the water was a bit rough during our visit, so we opted out.The property itself was beautifully maintained. The grounds were immaculate, and the pool was cleaned at least once a day—always sparkling. We also enjoyed grilling on the rooftop one evening, which was a fantastic bonus.Everything in the unit was clean and in perfect working order. Best of all, the management company was exceptional—one of the best we’ve ever worked with. They checked in by call and text throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. Truly top-notch service!

Beautiful stay. Awesome location. Easy check in, check out. Great beaches just near us and best beach for the sunset. Thank you for such a memorable adventure.

August 2025

Great location, gorgeous view, well stocked & easy to use kitchen, enjoyed being on second floor, never used the elevator, enjoyed the book closet near the elevator, liked the Master walk in closet. The second bedroom gets more traffic noise, master bedroom only gets it in the morning, but never too bad. Sunsets are gorgeous. Couldn’t stop taking pics of the view. Both beaches very nice. Close drive to Molokini boat charter and Makena Beach and mich more. Lots of food choices, Great Regal Theatre 6 minutes away with reclining seats (I know you don’t come to Maui for the movies, but we wanted to see Superman & the theatre was a pleasant surprise). 30 minute drive to Kahalui is easy. Great stay.

This condo has a beautiful ocean view and is so conveniently located. You can walk down a few steps to the beach or across the street to shops and restaurants. It is nicely appointed and the owner is very communicative and helpful.

I hope this is taken constructively, the potential is there. I would stay at this condo again, but not the unit in its current state.Good:The complex: location, rooftop area, parking, beach access. Updated kitchen/bathrooms. Owner responsiveness.Concerns:Outdated/uncomfortable furniture (including beds).Unit needs patched & painted.Several lightbulbs out in bathrooms.Old/droopy ceiling fans.Old/dirty & some inoperable windows.Old, squeaky blinds.Lanai screen door fell off the track. Was told it happens & needs to be loose.Master sliding door to lanai is broken. Makes it challenging to keep the bedroom cool.Bedroom window screen popped off in the wind.Main door easily slams in the wind (latch broke on us from this). Seems they had a slow close hinge at one point (they did patch in a timely fashion).Provided fans were old & impractical.Very cheap shower heads. We thought they were missing at first, it just looked like part of the pipe.Broken anchors on beach umbrellas. Several items in the beach closet could be tossed or replaced.Broken TP holder in spare bathroom.Stains on bedding (some look like blood). We washed the very dirty mattress pad & it took most of the stains out.No suction power in the vacuum (broom was provided).Overall, needed a deeper clean. On arrival, dirty: microwave, floors, ceiling fans. Also, dirty dishes we had to re-wash.Finally, supplies: plenty in some areas, very minimal in others (washcloths, foil, cling wrap, paper towels).

The condo was beautiful and newly renovated, View from deck gorgeous, overlooking the ocean. At night, my daughter enjoyed leaving the screen doors open and listening to the ocean waves. At dusk and dawn we could see the hawksbill turtles in the water below. During the day, we went to Kamaole II beach (next to the condo) and the turtles would swim right past us! When we went to the rooftop deck, we saw a pod of dolphins in the water below! We enjoyed sunrise and sunset swims at the beaches Kamaole I and II by the condo. Across the street from the condo is a natural foods grocery store with polite staff and a good deli. Most appreciated about condo #308 is Mr Faris, the owner/contact person; he answered every question promptly and gave very good detailed feedback on where to go and what to do; much of his advice, we took. That was very helpful and deeply appreciated. We traveled around the island, halfway to Hana and swam in a waterfall at a stop a little past the halfway to Hana House (make sure you fill up with gas in Paia town, have TP, water and hand soap with you, don’t count on Hawaii to provide its guest with clean restrooms) seeing the mountains and swimming at the waterfalls was wonderful, then we went Upcountry on the way back. Another day we went on the Lanai excursion with Trilogy; highly recommend this. Again, just sitting on the deck at the condo; the view from there was amazing; so calming, so peaceful. This is a second generation to own this condo with love.

We had an excellent stay. The condo was well stocked with all amenities imaginable. It was very nice not to have to worry about beach chairs, coolers, etc. The condo is in an excellent location in Kihei, ideally situated between Kamaole 1 and 2 beaches, with an amazing view from the lanai. We were able to watch sea turtles feed on the rocks every amazing day. The host, Diana, was very accommodating and checked in periodically to ensure that our trip was going smoothly. We will definitely return.

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: This is my second booking with PMI Maui and they do an excellent job. Highly responsive and communicative, with clear check-in and out instructions. The condo itself is the perfect stay for a visit to Maui - and to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS from the lanai! The location in Kihei is so walkable, and you are an easy drive to everything else. The furnishings are very thoughtful and modern and the overall unit is very spacious. I requested the two twin beds be converted to a king, and they took care of that all beforehand. Highly recommend!

This is our second time staying at this particular unit and we love it! We love the Royal Mauian, the location and the setting - we have been coming back here for 40 years. This particular unit is awesome for families, well stocked and we appreciated the responsive and helpful property management.

This was our second time at this condo and it was as wonderful as the first. The location can't be beat -- steps away from the beach and beautiful views from the lanai. We really appreciated the air conditioning as well. Two small complaints -- I would prefer four chairs at the dining room table rather than a backless bench on one side. Also there were no coffee filters that fit the coffee maker.

Outstanding experience this week in Hawaii at this condo. It was exactly what I searched for to house our family of 7 for our Maui vacation. The lanai was amazing and we ate our meals outside at the table looking out at the amazing view. It was perfect!

This is a great unit at the end of the building that has been recently updated. The location of the unit provides easy access to the beach north of the building. The building has plenty of seating by the ocean.

The apartment is fine. There are no blinds on the windows and unfortunately that was not mentioned in any of the reviews. We liked a lot bathroom and kitchen amenities. Also it’s great to have everything you need for beach. It is warm during the night as you can’t open the curtains to let the breeze in as there are no blinds. It’s great view from the terrace.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was an amazing experience! The view from the place is spectacular! We enjoyed many morning on the lanai. The rooftop was incredible! We would barbecue our dinner up there and watch the sunsets. It really doesn’t get better! The customer service was excellent! I would send a text or email and get a response within minutes. Wow!! I can’t thank you all enough for Your quick responses and help.

This condo is in a perfect spot for incredible views, including sunsets. It’s on the top floor (6) and facing the perfect direction. One delightful surprise was the ability to go snorkeling right outside the condo. There are rocky areas between the three Kamaole beaches, and we saw zillions of tropical fish along with sea turtles. Snorkel/boogie board/surf board rentals are all just a quick walk away. Our daughters took surf lessons in a cove that was about a mile up the road. The condo building is fine, a little dated but maintained with two elevators that we didn’t have to wait long for, and the condo has been updated. We didn’t cook but it appeared the kitchen is stocked with basics. We ate most dinners at the Wailea resorts, a quick drive away (10 mins). We also ordered carry out food from the Coconut restaurant across the street and enjoyed a sunset dinner on the lanai. One downside to the lanai is the air conditioning unit is out there and blows hot air. It makes part of the small lanai not as usable. However we appreciated having the AC and the condo was always a really comfortable temperature. The Ali’i staff was friendly and responsive when we had an issue with the dishwasher. We are already considering going back to Maui and staying in the same condo if we are lucky enough to get it.

We’ve stayed on Maui multiple times and specifically Kihei, but this is the best we’ve ever experienced. The view, the lovely ocean breeze, but there is a vibe that cannot be described with words. Something that we couldn’t quite put our finger on, it felt like a home away from home. We found “our place” on Maui. We will definitely be back!

We love this location in Kihei. 1st time in this unit…3rd at the royal mauian. Great views. Fabulous sunsets. Nice folks to deal with. A couple of small things…Would be helpful to have an umbrella. Without it our use of the beach was curtailed and it’s an easy fix! Also there was nothing stocked beyond the requisite kitchenware…not even leftover condiments or even salt and pepper or starter water. First time I’ve encountered this in an vrbo and just a little detail that I noticed. Also please provide hair conditioner. Again a little thing that would be much appreciated in a beach environment!Last while the second bedroom had a Murphy bed we found this space pretty worthless. Maybe luggage racks would improve functionality of this room.All this said we would return here in a heartbeat! Just wanted to share some small improvements for management consideration :) we had a great stay and highly recommend!Mahalo!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo on Maui. The house was extremely well-equipped with everything we needed—from a fully stocked kitchen to beach chairs and towels, which made our days at the beach so easy and enjoyable. Communication with the owner was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.One of our favorite parts of the trip was starting each morning on the lanai, watching the turtles pop their heads up in the water. The view was absolutely breathtaking and truly made our time there feel magical. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-appointed home base in paradise.

Amazing location with all amenities that a visitor to Maui could ask for (both in the unit/complex and within 2 blocks’ walk across S Kihei Rd)! This was exactly how we wanted to celebrate our anniversary - sunny, warm days with picture-perfect sunsets from the lanai. We lost count of the “honu” (green sea turtles) that we saw off the coast. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting South Maui.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this condo! The location was incredible, having a gorgeous beach steps away could not be beat. The view from the master blew us away. Hearing the waves crash against the shore every morning was the best way to wake up. The Hawaiian Moons across the street was awesome for coffees and sandwiches and healthy snacks and there were a ton of food trucks nearby. We ate very well 😜. Don’t miss the farmers market on Saturday mornings...hands down the best tamales we’ve ever had!

The property was exceptionally cared for, clean and inviting. Lush landscaping and koi ponds were expertly maintained. 2 elevators meant we didn’t wait long to get to the 6th floor that boasted breathtaking views of the hillside, beach and ocean. Room was spotless upon check in and Gary our concierge was helpful and friendly! In spite of an a/c hose leak our room stayed comfortably cool and the issue was handled promptly. Rooftop grilling was a wonderful addition and dining together while watching the sunset up high was a serious highlight to our stay. Nestled between two amazing beaches the whole family had the opportunity snorkel and see plenty of fish and turtles. Everything you need from renting snorkel gear or kayaks to morning coffee and cinnamon rolls, snacks and great lunch options to a dinner out in close walking distance. We are already planning our next trip and we’ll be staying at the Royal Mauian!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Location is perfect in our opinion. The condo was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The view from the lanai was fantastic. The beach was just steps away and It’s close to many food options. Communication was great as well.

This is the absolute perfect location in Maui and we can't wait to go back!We LOVED everything about it:-Having the unit on the ground level made access to the pool and beaches so easy-Amazing sunset views each night-Beach gear provided was such a convenience (beach chairs, pool noodles, boogie boards, beach towels, cooler, etc). -Pool access just steps from the lanai. Not having to walk down hallways or use an elevator to get to it was so nice.-The beach access was perfection. Hard to know from the listing on how close it was, but I can assure you...it's close! We grabbed the beach gear each day, stepped outside, and was on the beach within 1 minute. Beach wasn't crowded at all, which made it even better.-Restaurants were just across the street or down the street. Didn't need to drive anywhere unless you wanted to.-Living room was spacious, couch was comfortable and had room for everyone. They had family board games to play and books to read while relaxing.-Kitchen had everything we needed (separate ice machine, separate beverage cooler, keurig, storage containers, and more)-Newly renovated living room and kitchen areaWe went to the Marriot Wailea for a luau and even commented that we preferred our accommodations more. I promise you won't regret staying here!
