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.

Location, Location, Location! There are no negatives for this condo! Beautifully renovated and stocked with all you will need for your stay. Located minutes from groceries, restaurants and shopping. I would highly recommend staying in this condo and would book again.

Perfect location! If you flew in and didn’t have a car you’d be ok as the condo is perfectly located to all that you will need. The condo itself (although dated) works well for 2 couples and is stocked with all you could need, from bathroom supplies, beach toys and an abundance of kitchen supplies. The lanai is a nice size and you can’t beat that view! Highly recommend this condo and wouldn’t think twice about returning

This place far exceeded our expectations for our family trip to Maui. We were traveling with our 2 adult children. We did extensive research on areas and properties and settled on this unit based on pics, reviews and location. Boy did it deliver! The Royal Mauian is in the perfect spot to be centrally located to all the activities! The condo itself was immaculately clean and had absolutely everything you wanted or needed. Wish we had seen the body board stored under the master bed sooner! Chairs, snorkel gear, plenty of supplies to cook with, even good shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Laundry soap & dishwasher packs too. The sunset view on the rooftop was spectacular! The icing on the cake was our hosts accommodating a late checkout as we have a very late flight back. This allowed us time to enjoy the beach one more time & take our time packing to leave. We appreciated that so much. We will definitely look at this unit for future trips to Maui, which I hope to have!

We rented the same unit 4 years ago. It was better at that time. Both screen doors would not slide properly, some of the new very cheap patio chairs were broken, no scissors, stained Pyrex dishes, a mattress that should be replaced, and no lid on the trashcan in the kitchen. Even though we were staying over a week there were limited supplies. Be sure to bring enough shampoo and extra garbage bags, etc.

We had such an amazing stay here for our honeymoon. The place was beautiful, super clean, and honestly even better than we expected. We completely fell in love with the area and already want to come back someday. Everything about the trip felt relaxing and special, and this was the perfect place to stay while making those memories. Couldn’t recommend it more!

You really can’t beat the location of this place for a holiday. Being in Kihei one can travel easily east or west to Maui’s sights but why would you want to leave this excellent spot? The condo was clean, well appointed, with wave sounds and beach and sunset views, and had all the amenities for both living well and beaching well. Charley Young beach (Kam 1) is superb for walks and swimming and snorkeling. Check in with VRBO was simple and they were very attentive during our stay. Thank you for a most memorable vacation. We’ll be back!

Beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, snorkel gear, and turtles below! What more could you need? You also get a beautiful unit with AC that gives you awesome views of the ocean, palm trees, reef and beaches. Walk left or right, and you are on the sand with paradise waiting. This was a fabulous experience with an amazing host. Communication and information were top notch. Mahalo!!

The host was great, called us on our first day to check that everything was ok with the unit. We've been to Maui several times and this condo is in the best location. Steps from 2 beaches (Kam I snd II), restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. The vjew was phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Everything was fantastic for our family of 4! Close to the beach and friends. The Bottom floor made it easy to get in and out to the beach. Loved having a kitchen for making our own food, but still having the option to get out for food or shops. We had a blastWould recommend some investment in beach chairs and boogie boards. A lot of other units have these items and we had to rent. Luckily it’s right across the street and real easy! Over all we would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. The interior was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked, but the lanai and the location are what truly set it apart. The view is absolutely unbeatable. We spent every single morning watching the turtles swimming and the various people and pets walk along the shore. Beautiful beaches were a very short stroll away. Due to the storms, we only got to see one true sunset, but I imagine they are truly magical at other times. Over a week later, my daughter still talks about the condo, and how much she wants to go back. It is a special place.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful one-bedroom condo in Kihei. The oceanfront setting is truly special—the views from the lanai overlooking West Maui were absolutely stunning and something we enjoyed every day.Kevin was an exceptional host with outstanding communication. He was always responsive, attentive, and clearly takes pride in ensuring his guests have a seamless and enjoyable experience. That level of care stood out and made our stay even better.The location is ideal for exploring the island. It’s easy to head up to West Maui, venture into Upcountry, relax at the beaches just outside the condo or further south of Kihei, or make your way to Paia and the Road to Hana. Having such convenient access to so many parts of Maui made this a perfect home base.The condo itself was comfortable, well-appointed, and easy to settle into. We would absolutely rebook and return without hesitation.Mahalo, Kevin and family, for sharing your beautiful home and for your genuine hospitality.

Amazing condo!!!! We have been coming to Maui for years and this might be one of our favorite condos. Can’t beat the location and ocean views. The only tiny complaint is regarding utensils and cooking gadgets. We usually eat at least once in so we ran out of clean utensils fast and couldn’t find a cooking spatula! But otherwise SUPERB stay! Shoot out to Katie (I think that is her name) for being a voice of reason. We were thinking on canceling the vacation and she changed her mind. We had barely any rain! Can’t wait to be back!

Beautiful place, perfect location, everything you could possibly need for the perfect Maui vacation. We usually spend all of our time outside on the beach and in the water on our trips to Maui and the location of this rental is perfect for that. However, due to intermittent rain on this trip we were able to enjoy time inside our comfortable and well equipped rental more than on previous trips. We were able to watch sea turtles from our ocean front balcony for hours. We enjoyed the sunset from our balcony every night. We were well taken care of during our entire trip. We can’t wait to return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this condo, it was absolutely beautiful. The only minor issue was that the king mattress in the primary bedroom wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was superb. We especially loved the mirror on the balcony such a great idea with those panoramic views! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Our room didn't even have an ocean view. The reason we went with your listing was because from the pictures it looked like we would have an ocean view. We were put on the parking lot side of the condo. The ocean was on the opposite side.

We had a wonderful stay at this oceanfront condo in Kihei! The unit was spotless, beautifully updated, and the recent renovation really shows in every detail. The decor is gorgeous, the kitchen was very well stocked—including coffee and spices—and the view was absolutely incredible. We especially loved watching the sunset from the lanai each evening and being able to easily walk to multiple beaches .The owner, Skye, was extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, which made the stay feel easy and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Maui. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Cleanest VRBO I have ever visited! Very impressed with the kitchen items available for us and the grounds and location can't be beat! You can walk almost anywhere - so many great food stops just near the unit. We visited w/ 2 kids and really enjoyed the unit and space. We would definitely come back!

Lucy is outstanding with communication and help. The information she provided prior to our stay made the arrival and registration process flawless. Everything we were told about the apartment beforehand was accurate! The place just felt like home. All that we needed for a great vacation stay was already in place. We spent hours (literally) on our own personal whale watch on out lanai. There was even a set of good binoculars in the condo for our use. We had stayed on Maui many times before this with several stays at the Royal Mauian. This was the most thoughtfully and completely outfitted condo we have rented. Everything was neatly arranged in the best way as if we had decided it ourselves. Our thanks to Lucy and her family for providing such a comfortable, homey place for a wonderful and memorable vacation!

Condo is just as described, very well stocked, perfectly located to see turtles right from the lanaii. We had rough weather and water conditions for our trip, but the great condo rental really helped make it a wonderful trip, in spite of the weather.

We enjoyed our stay!! Unit has a great view of gardens and ocean. Nice, family friendly property. Very clean, well stocked kitchen and Management was responsive. The only issue I have is that there is musty smell that doesn't go away with airflow. I have experienced this before in tropical climates so maybe there isn't much to do. The beautiful staircase is creaky.

My husband and I had to make a last minute change in accommodations due to storm damage. The change worked out fantastically as this unit was wonderful. The property sits right on the ocean. The views and sounds are amazing! The condo is large, clean, beautiful, and comfortable. The property management group was very easy to work with. They strive to meet or exceed your expectations. I would recommend this unit to other visitors.

We love this condo and have stayed here twice. It’s clean and comfortable for 4 adults. The location is ideal for exploring the island. Mornings on the lanai over looking the ocean are perfect. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are clean and modern. The owner is thoughtful and communicative. Thank you for a great stay!

We keep coming back to Paul's Condo! It is the best. Good location. Easy access to the rest of the Island. Right next to 2 beaches. Snorkling right in front of the Condo. The rooms are very clean and well maintained.

The best feature of this condo is the location. Being at the Royal Mauian with a fantastic view of the ocean and sunsets and steps from the beach (no road to cross) and lots of restaurants and shopping right across the street. A/C Throughout was also a big plus and kitchen appliances were nice. Bathrooms were ok with some upgrades (great water pressure), but not in great repair as a drawer was broken, there was a weird screw randomly sticking out of the shower tile, etc.However- As for the main areas and bedrooms-the furniture and carpet is very old and shabby. (Main beds are comfortable but pullout couch is old and saggy). We were at the Royal Mauian for our honeymoon in 1988 and the furnishings looked like they were from 1988 as well. Carpet need to be replaced as it is well- gross to walk on. Walls need paint. There are random hooks and screws in the walls with nothing hanging on them. One wall hanging is partially covered by the TV. Everything is just “haphazard” and dingy.Overall- this condo is a mixed bag- some of it great, and some of it poor.

We were delighted with our 8-night stay at this lovely, aesthetically pleasing condo! The location is ideal, the ocean view is gorgeous, and the sunsets are beautiful. The location is wonderful - between two nearby beaches and close to restaurants and shops. My husband and I spent most of our time on the balcony nurturing our sense of well-being with the sights and sounds of the ocean. Ahhh...Owner, Skye, was quick to respond to questions we had before our visit and communicated clearly about check-in process and any questions that arose while there.
