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 owner was very easy to work with and responds to communication quickly. The condo was clean and had everything we needed like beach towels and kitchen supplies. We loved all the hooks on the lanai and in the rooms to hang up wet towels and swimsuits. From the lanai we were able to view amazing sunsets and even see sea turtles.

The condo was clean and in the perfect location. The unit had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The host Kevin, was very helpful and very responsive. I recommend this condo for any couple/pair looking to have comfort, convenience, and to feel at home-away from home.

We loved our stay! The beachfront location was perfect, having a spectacular view of the vast ocean during the day leading to beautiful sunsets every evening. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Convenient shops across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Apt. was very well-equipped and laid out. Nice location. Beautiful views from our lanai. Everything worked as it should. One minor point - the 2nd bedroom mattress is noticeably worn on the left side (divet). The pool area was fine. We wished the pool was open earlier. We like to do pool workouts in the morning.

Fantastic condo with Kamaole Beach Park I view right from the balcony. Sunsets from the shared rooftop were amazing. Great breakfast & dinner options walkable from the condo too. Would definitely stay here again. Air conditioning was a major plus.

By far one of the best vacation homes I’ve stayed! I say home because that is truely what it felt like. It was very clean with attention to details. Towels folded in a cute manner, very clean and everything was so easy to find! The kitchen was well stocked with silverware, cups, plates and appliances. The decor and furnishings were very well kept and in great taste for a beach get away. Beds were comfy and the shower in the master was amazing! We sometimes deal with water pressure issue on vacation, but not here! The views were amazing from the lanai, beautiful sunsets right outside your door! Thankfully we didn’t really have to reach out for anything as everything ran as expected, but after booking and before arrival, Gretchen had great communication and instructions on what to expect. They stocked the unit well and you didn’t feel like you needed anything else! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Hope to be back again in the future!

Great location, on a very nice beach with turtles and snorkeling steps away. Lots of food options in area.

The condo was exactly as it was represented, very clean, and it was perfect for 3 adult couples. We stay at the Royal Mauian because of the location, and it is the best 3 bedroom floorplan in Kīhei. Out of the 10 days we had several days that we never had to get in the rental car, between the beaches, shops and great food we never had to go anywhere. What a great stay!!

Lovely location with a beautiful view. We had access to everything we could have wanted or needed for a great experience! The hosts had towels, chairs, small ice chest that we used for our beach trips. Then we took advantage of the telescope to watch the moon grow each night. The hosts were wonderfully responsive and created a very welcoming space. 10/10!

Ocean front! Ocean view! You can’t ask for a better location or a more beautiful view. The grounds are well taken care of. The unit is very nice and comfortable. Air conditioning throughout is great after a hot day at the beach! Close walking distance to lots of food options, coffee and shave ice!The host was helpful and provided excellent customer service. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a fabulous 9 night stay! The view is amazing - ocean as far as you see with no other buildings in sight. We ate every meal outside on the lanai to listen to the ocean and watch the sea turtles swimming around. Amazing view of the sunsets. Beaches Kam I, II, and III are all easy to walk to. Umbrellas, nice chairs, and boogie boards are a plus. Lots of food options in the 3 malls across the street (bakeries, sandwich shops, thai food, ice cream/ shave ice, etc.) - we just brought the food back to eat on the lanai. Kitchen had everything you need to cook your own meals, and we also found it convenient to grill on the rooftop a few nights. The condo was clean and comfortable for our family of 4. Paul (host) was quick to respond with any questions/ requests.

Great view of the ocean and beach. Turtles came each night to feed right by the resort. Beautiful sunsets. The only thing to let others know is that it’s a regular coffee maker, so buy bagged coffee.

This condo in Kihei was great for our group of four (two couples). The location was perfect- plenty of parking space in the parking lot on property and two spacious elevators to transport baggage up to the condo on the second floor. We often just chose to use the stairs if we didn’t have much to carry. The property is located between two beaches, each just a very short walk either side, we usually went to the beach to the right side of the condo. It’s a nice sandy beach, with great snorkeling easily accessible. We saw multiple turtles, plenty of fish and coral in good condition. As avid snorkelers, this was a treat! We brought our own snorkel gear but there are stores close by from which you can rent snorkel gear. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas provided at the condo, very easy to take down to the beach. It does however get very windy at times so be careful using the umbrellas and make sure they are secured. There’s also a nice pool on site, not very big but we didn’t care since we spent most of our time either on the beach or doing other activities. We felt the Kihei location was good for us- lots of shops and restaurants close by but also central to drive to all other highlights of Maui. The condo was well appointed with all items needed in the kitchen etc. Finally, the view from the lanai/balcony. It’s spectacular! We could see the beach, the sunset each night and people, boats, dogs and birds passing by below. Overall a great stay!

We have stayed at the Royal Mauian 6 times and have always loved the convenience and closeness to the beach in particular and to all of the nearby amenities. This unit had the best view of any we have stayed at; we enjoyed watching the snorkelers, paddleboarders, outriggers and especially the turtles every morning while having breakfast on the lanai!The unit could use some refreshing with the furniture and kitchen being a bit dated but we had no complaints with the comfort or utility of anything and every amenity we could think of was supplied. Our 2 week stay was fantastic as usual including great weather.

Wonderful ocean view from this nice, one bedroom condo. Gorgeous sunsets. Wonderful rooftop deck and clean, well-maintained swimming pool.The building is located immediately adjacent to Kameole II beach, so just a short walk to that beautiful beach. The unit is comfortable with, great trade wind cross ventilation. It also has a "split" type AC unit in the living room if needed. The bedroom is on the mauka (inland) facing side of the building, so even with the louvered windows closed guests do hear some street and parking lot noises as well as the occasional walkway conversations from some oblivious fellow guiests. There is a small, stand alone dehumidifier/AC device in the bedroom. It is noisy (like most small AC units), but it did cool the room adequately the one night we needed it.Overall, a nice, comfortable and convenient place to stay; and a very reasonable value.

The views and accommodations were superb. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked and organized. The management company was on top of things and checked in throughout pre travel, during our stay and facilitated the check out process. The location was impeccable for what we were looking for in terms of views and walking access to shaved ice and restaurants. From the main bedroom I loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. I don’t think my friends were able to hear the ocean from the other 2 bedrooms. We also snorkeled right in front of the condo and saw many beautiful turtles! We loved not having to get in the car to access beaches and calm ocean for a quick swim! The only bummer was the “condensor” on the deck that shot hot air and noise that we couldn’t really sit on that section of the couch to enjoy our group. Our friend is an architect and made suggestions to the mgmt company on how to redirect that hot air upwards. I hope that this fix gets implemented because then our visit would have been perfect!

Our stay was good. Bed was comfortable and view was wonderful. The unit is within walking distance of a couple of small grocery stores, restaurants, and other businesses that rent snorkel equipment etc. Easy access to the sandy part of the beach. We were entertained by a group of sea turtles swimming up and down the beach. Management company was responsive when we had a couple of minor issues. Would stay here again

Our stay in Kikei was incredible and a huge part of that was staying in this condo, it’s all about the location, back tit to the beach (ride outside your door!), and walkability. The unit and property as a whole was very clean, thanks again!

Booking this Kihei condo was great from start to finish- the hosts were communicative and helped me figure out some of my plans prior to arriving. We (my parents, my husband and I, and our 3 kids aged 4,3, and 1) stayed for 5 nights and wished we could have stayed longer! The location is amazing - very walkable to tons of breakfast cafes, coffee shops, snorkeling shops, and restaurants. The beach is less than 5 minute walk from door to sand. The views are amazing. We loved everything about it and hopefully will be back!

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!
