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.

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.

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: 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!

Beautiful location! 2 beaches in walking distance. Spent every morning and evening on the lanai watching the ocean. Sunset from the roof top was amazing, Turtles off the shore out front.

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.

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.

Great Condo with the perfect lanai overlooking the ocean . We had bad weather but we enjoyed staying on the lanai reading books and do some whale watching We will definitely come back

Great property with easy access to beach and gorgeous views rain or shine. We watched whales from our lanai! Location is perfectly located for walking access to oceanside trail that goes for miles and lots of restaurants and shops on the street side. Kitchen supplies are very adequate and we especially appreciated the liberal stock of bath and beach towels as well as beach chairs, etc. Great value compared to the resorts, we would definitely choose this property again on a future trip to Maui. Property managers were very responsive and easy to communicate with via text.

Loved the condo. Clean, had everything we needed for our stay and was a perfect location for the family to just step out to the pool, grass area, or walk to the beach and snorkel. Great snorkeling with many turtles and colorful fish every day. The family said it was the best vacation to date. We had a total of four condos for the family and everyone loved The Royal Mauian! The condos are also conveniently located near great restaurants, shopping, and a short drive from favorite sight seeing spots.

Best condo we’ve stayed in! First trip with Maui, with our grown kids and grandchild. The location is perfect, right between two beautiful, swimming beaches, with snorkeling right out front. Loved being on the ground floor with incredible view. Right across the street from coffee shops, tacos, the cinnamon roll place, a little grocery and some shops. Bonus was the best stocked condo- boogie boards, beach chairs, toys, towels, coolers, an ice machine, beverage refrigerator, spices, and the beautiful roof top bbq area. Hard to leave and can’t wait to go back!

Gretchen was a wonderful host. Communications were prompt and pleasant. Check in was seemless and all of the pertinent property information was provided and easily accessible. The Royal Mauian is in a prime location, situated oceanfront between two gorgeous beaches and walking distance to coffee spots, restaurants, and shopping. The property is well maintained with a spacious lawn with ample lounge chairs, a nice pool area, and a lovely rooftop with stunning 360 views, tables and gas grills. A member of our party left some expensive Bose headphones at the pool area and the staff went above and beyond to get them returned. The condo was spacious and nicely appointed. The beds were comfortable and there were ample linens and towels. The kitchen was very well equipped. There was even a selection spices and cooking oil. The only thing we had to source ourselves were beach chairs, an umbrella, and cooler which was easily rented from The Snorkel Store right across the street. One thing to note is all of the interior doors are louvered, not solid, making it difficult to block noise from the main living area to the bedrooms. We enjoyed a wonderful stay and were very happy with our choice of accommodations for our two week stay on Maui.

Royal Mauian is a great building to stay at and offers amazing ocean front access. The unit renovation was immaculate and the lanai views outstanding. Beds were comfortable. For the price point, the kitchen could be stocked a little better (we had to buy saran wrap, coffee and a few other knick knacks). This was a last minute trip so we were happy to have the unit, even at the cost as it is at the highest end for RM, but would definitely stay here again.

The condo was clean and exactly as represented. The patio was lovely and overlooked the ocean, a wonderful place to sit and drink coffee in the morning. Everything was clean and well appointed. Staff were responsive and helpful. Our only feedback would be: the non-primary bedroom got pretty hot, probably because there isn't a dedicated AC unit plus the windows to the hallway aren't glass, just screens.

This was the most beautifully decorated and Equipped condo we have ever stayed at at the Royal Mauian. The owner Kevin was very quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful. The view was beautiful and the breezes were calming.

This property is exactly how it is shown and described. It was the perfect home base for our family as 3 as we explored Maui for the first time. We didn't stay in much for meals, but the accommodations has everything you would need to prepare a meal. The view is spectacular! Beds we comfy, pillows not so much but I'm not complaining, and the showers were spacious. We loved every part of the property and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The beach access was beyond amazing. We snorkeled right in front of the building every chance we got.

March 2026

We've stayed at two other units at the Royal Mauian and this one was the nicest in terms of appearance and furnishings! The location in the bldg provides a great sunset view and of Kama'ole I beach. The beach chairs and umbrella are quality Tommy Bahama pieces. There were a few items that were missing or needed improvement, but the mgmt co. took care of those within a day of our mentioning them! The one item that is lacking is that the dryer function of the washer/dryer combo unit is either broken or disabled, and you have to hang dry any laundry you want to do. The pre-loaded laundry detergent mentioned in an earlier review is not a problem as we emptied the tank and put in a non-fragrance/dye detergent that the mgmt co. supplied upon our request (due to allergies). We were worried about elevator noise as the #9 units share a wall with the elevator shaft, but it's not noticeable at all. Overall, the unit and location are really nice, and the mgmt co. is very responsive and accommodating.

Great unit that fit our needs perfectly. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of seating and all the things needed for beach days. Plenty of room for our three couples. Easy access to the beaches and the pool right out the back door. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again.

March 2026

The front desk was helpful. The premises were okay. There was a large extension cord running from the refrigerator across the countertop to the outlet, the drawers in the lower cabinets fell out if pulled out, the main slider screen doors were ripped along the bottom and the screen slider was extremely difficult to open because of this requiring to go in and out from the lanai through the bedroom, the guest shower head needs repaired or replaced as water would barely come out unless on a jet setting. So overall, the property just rates as okay.

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: We stayed here with a group 5ppl for my daughter 21st birthday celebration. Loved the location, only had to cross the street for most of what we needed. Beach access was nice and ending the day on the rooftop bbq area to watch the sunsets was amazing. The condo has all you'd need but could use another ice chest. We'll definitely be back to stay here again.

We couldn’t have found a more perfect location for our stay in Maui! We loved waking up to the water everyday and we even saw whales off the back deck! The kitchen was well stocked with everything wee needed. Groceries, restaurants and shops were within walking distance.Barbara was the perfect host, answering all our questions within minutes. We will definitely be back!

One of my favorite vacation properties we have stayed at so far. Loved the big sofa for relaxing and the lanai furniture was great! Loved the chaise to take naps outside. Equipped with absolutely everything you could need for the beach. I’m smitten and only want to stay here when I visit Maui again. Perfect ocean views and fabulous sunsets. We had other family members staying in 3 other condos and had an amazing time. We absolutely loved it!
Kathi P.
February 2026

This unit worked great for us. We were two couples and two kids 5 and under. The ground floor unit was awesome for the kids to be able to run straight off the lanai and into the lawn to race around and be kids. It's also very close to the beach so popping down for a swim with the provided chairs and umbrellas was very convenient. The unit itself was comfortable and well appointed. A little dated in decor but who really cares? I will note even though these units sleep up to 6 you only get one parking spot. If you have 2 cars you have to find street parking which can be difficult depending on when you're visiting. Overall, it suited our needs perfectly and we had an amazing time.

What a wonderful place to stay in Maui!! Laura’s oceanfront condo, set on lush grounds between two of the most beautiful beaches on the island, is lovely. The furnishings are new, the kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are “sink into slumber” comfortable! We had a great time! We’ve stayed at many other units at the same complex and this is by far the nicest. Your hosts are very accommodating and answer any question promptly. The unit was spotless, plenty of towels and beach chairs. You cannot go wrong with this rental! Thank you, Laura!
