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.

The Palms at Wailea delivers a relaxed, upscale condo-resort vibe with lush landscaping, a quiet atmosphere, and lovely sunset views. Guests love the location: a short drive (and walkable for many) to Keawakapu and Wailea beaches, the coastal boardwalk, shops, and restaurants, plus easy access to Kihei. The ocean-view pool and hot tub are a frequent highlight, and many guests spend mornings or evenings on large lanais soaking in the scenery.

Condos are spacious and well suited to families and longer stays, with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, and generous outdoor space. Many units are recently updated, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked—often including beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and snorkel gear. Hosts and managers are commonly praised for quick, friendly communication, making check‑in easy and resolving minor issues fast.

Things to know: amenities and finishes vary by individually owned unit, and some are older or lightly worn—check listings for recent updates and A/C details. A recurring theme is limited or bedroom‑only A/C, so living areas can be warm; road noise can affect perimeter buildings; and the walk to the beach can be hilly—many guests drive with gear. Pool rules skew quiet (limited toys, no music/alcohol) and shade is limited; private BBQs are restricted in many units with shared grills provided. Typical for the tropics, occasional ants/bugs pop up; supplies are often “starter only.” If sensitive to any of the above, look for inner‑ring or renovated units with full A/C and confirm stairs/elevator, bedroom privacy (some second bedrooms use sliding doors), and grill access before booking.

Great location and very clean condo however the main mattress needs to be replaced it has two dents on the sides and a large hump in the middle. Not ideal for getting a good nights rest.

The location was perfect and the unit is spacious enough for 5 adults. We had issues with the patio lights; it was very dark at night because the motion sensor lights were not working. The owner referred us to the local property manager who did not return our message during the weekend (it turned out it’s because we reached him by email which is for non-emergency issues). Still I had to follow up on Monday and the lady I spoke with promised to send someone over to fix it, which never happened. It was a pity; would have enjoyed nights out in the patio.Also, there’s no grill on the patio like the listing pictures would suggest.

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 chose this place to have a good kitchen. The kitchen was awesome - everything was clean and worked well. The fridge was very large. We used the grill one time and it was clean and easy to use. We saw staff cleaning it each day. Property was beautiful - lots of flowering trees. The smell of flowers outside was so good - I will remember that for a long time.

The lanai is exceptional..large, comfortable furnishings and steps from the lawn and pool. The condo itself is clean, nicely furnished and in an excellent location. This was our second time at Wailea Palms and was very enjoyable both times.

In general the place was great. There were minor maintenance issues: there was a large shade secured by tying it off and one of the screen doors to the back wouldn't close.

January 2026

Excellent condo unit in a great location. Great lanai for morning coffee and nighttime relaxing. Close and easy access to Keawakapu beach (the best!). Easy to walk/drive to Wailea shops and restaurants. Would recommend.

The condo was clean, newly remodeled with new furniture and new items inside and looked as pictured. The pool was across the street so easy to just pop over and back, as needed, especially since we had an infant and a toddler who still both nap.

January 2026

This family condo had everything you could ask for: beach gear, kitchen equipment for home cooked meals, in unit free laundry. Other than food and drink, we didn't really need to get anything else. Everything was functional. The location is great too, even if parking gets bad at Ulua beach, you can easily drop off family and beach gear and park back at the condo to walk back down (less than a mile). Very easy checkin and checkout instructions from the host along with a binder of useful information for your stay on what to do and where to eat!

Good location. Have stayed in other units at The Palms and this visit was the first time noise from other units was an issue. Nicely furnished but dining and patio furniture were uncomfortable. Unit would benefit from more thorough cleaning. Communication with the host was somewhat confusing.
Donna M.

The location at the top end of the hill provides a great view from the large patio, living room and both bedrooms. Recently updated kitchen and bathrooms with a bright interior. The condo is well-equipped and walking distance from the beach and shops at Wailea (within a mile).
Neville W.

The condo layout was great for our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool everyday, barbecued on the extremely clean grills, and enjoyed the sunsets from the clubhouse. The location is excellent, and very safe. Morning walks were a must! Enjoyed our Christmas in warm weather.

Non working dishwasher
Kevin P.
January 2026

This condo is located less than 5 min drive from the best shopping and restaurants in Wailea and Kihei, along with 2 great beaches. The parking is directly in front of the stairs to the unit and the pool is directly behind the condo, making it super convenient to hang at the pool. The bed in the primary is comfortable (pillows typical), and the AC in the bedroom works well. Good water pressure. Great view from the living room and lanai. The cons: This unit is very dated, other than the beds everything appears original. The kitchen is fine for coffee, snacks and the fridge/freezer worked well. It would not have worked if we planned to cook. You can't get into the utensil drawer if the dishwasher door is closed and the face is about to rip off. There is no barware. Half the windows do not open. The light is out in the exterior hallway making entry at night hard. The living room seating and lanai seating both are not comfortable for more than a few minutes. Both bathrooms functioned well, but need to be replaced soon - both toilets run. Overall, the unit is clean and suited our needs for 12 nights. We come to the island multiple times a year and this was the most expensive and dated one we have stayed in. We weren't disappointed, but also wouldn't book it again without a remodel.

The best part is the outdoor patio space. It significantly increases the size of the unit, allowing you to spend most of your time outside.
Gary W.
December 2025

We had a great stay! The unit is spacial and clean and we enjoyed the outside patio with lounge chairs. Kitchen is well equipped and the unit has laundry. Amazing location with close proximity to the beach and shops. Furniture and carpet outdated but overall it was a great unit to stay at and we would go back! The hosts were kind to provide the fans for the living room area however we didn't need to use them as the room temperature was cool enough. The bedroom had aircon which was great.
Olga P.

We had a great stay! Everything was exactly as described. Well-equipped kitchen, laundry, lots of great beach gear - umbrellas, chairs. We had a bit of trouble with the TV, but I'm sure it will be resolved.Jillian was responsive and helpful. Location is great. We loved walking to the beach (15 min) and then coming back and enjoying the serene pool and hot tub.

My family had a great stay at Angela’s place. We loved how close it was to the pool, we enjoyed sunset views from the lanai, and we used the kitchen daily for meal prep. My only suggestion would be to replace the washer/dryer as it’s quite old and small. The sleeper sofa wasn’t very comfortable either, but could be easily fixed with a memory foam mattress. Aside from that, we had a great stay and appreciated all the beach amenities that were provided.
