Recent The Palms at Wailea Reviews


This is a very nice condo. Furnished and decorated very well with comfortable beds and a layout that was excellent for our family of 4 -- one good kids bedroom with twin beds and a separate bedroom with attached bath for the parents. The outdoor patio was a pleasant spot for breakfast and has enough room both for a dining table and lounge chairs. The unit was outfitted with key items such as beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and a mask and snorkel -- all very handy for our daily trips to nearby beaches. All in all, a very comfortable property with a good overall feel. The location is good so long as you aren’t expecting walkability -- while you *could* walk to shops or the beach, it’s just far enough that realistically you’re much more likely to hop in the car for a short drive to wherever you want to go. And of course the unit isn’t situated to have dramatic views or see the ocean. But it’s a very quick drive to great beaches, Wailea shops, and Kihei for more casual restaurant options. So, a good base for exploring this part of Maui.

I really can't say enough about this property. My wife and teenage daughters loved it; we spent a lot of time out on the huge lanai with the beautiful view and options for sun and shade. We were concerned about no A/C outside of the master bed but we actually enjoyed the fans and ocean breezes so much that we never even used the A/C unit in the master. The kitchen, bathrooms, showers were all great (huge bath in the master and spacious living room) and it was nice to have the washer/dryer. The whole Palms at Wailea property is beautifully maintained, with water running through the middle so you hear that on the lanai and we enjoyed the pool/hot tub area as well. We had considered booking a unit right on the beach but we are so glad that we didn't as the wind was really strong down on the water while up on the hill we just had pleasant breezes. With that and the view of the ocean and mountains we had the best of both worlds. It was really hard to leave this property, I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

We had an amazing time staying in this condo. The location is absolutely amazing. It is close to just about everything we wanted to do. We were even able to get day passes to a resort to use their pool, giving our kids a change of pace. It was perfect for our family of four. We also appreciated the air conditioning which made the hot Maui days a bit more comfortable for those of us not accustomed to such heat. We will be very happy to stay in this condo again in the future.

We were a family traveling together but staying in two separate units. These were a minute’s walk from each other, one building apart on the east side. This unit did not have stairs and was wheelchair accessible. It was a very spacious two bedroom. Photos are accurate! We loved having a large lanai, the kitchen was well stocked, there is washer/dryer in the master bath closet, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, snorkel gear, everything you need for a fun vacation. This unit is updated with nice decor, newer carpeting. The second bedroom is enclosed with its own pocket door to hall bathroom so it’s “almost” like having two master suites if you request the twin beds to be parked together. Every room has a ceiling fan and AC!!!!

We've stayed at many units at the Palms. Some are better than others. This one had a well appointed kitchen and nice comfortable furniture. Pull out bed wasn't, but they rarely are. Unit was very clean, the deck was not. Air condition in the main living & dining was good, but we found the master bedroom warm in the evening with the door shut. Ceiling fan helped but it was a bit noisy. 5 beach chairs and two coolers (1 with a broken handle) and towels are available. No umbrella, bougie boards, snorkle or beach toys like in other units. We brought an umbrella from home in our golf bag and left it with the chairs. The unit is close to the pool, view was of the parking lot and a slight view of the sunset. No enough soap, toilet paper, or dishwasher pods were supplied. Overall, the unit was great just thought I'd mention some of the things I wish I knew before we went for the next renters to be prepared. Aloha

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is tired and needs improvement. Bad set up for example no dresser in the bedroom with drawers?A strange old fashioned cupboard. Not for clothes!Is one suppose to hang underwear, shorts, every single t-shirt on hangers? No kettle. Want tea use a big pot to boil water for that cup. A box of tissue anywhere for a sniffle? No! Run to the bathroom and use toilet paper. Only 2 dining table chairs. A rickety bench on the other side. Afraid to sit on it. No hangers. Not 1 in the large hall closetNot enough "cheap" hangers in the bedroom.Vertical blinds in bedroom do not work with the pull cord. One must pull each one manually.Quit bothering to try to open them.Furniture must be moved to watch the tv. Poor placement. Poor design. Better choices needed for seating. Our 3 Rd time staying in this complex.Never this unit again.

Our condo at Palms at Wailea was terrific and a perfect home base for our trip to Maui. Extremely comfortable (A/C and fans throughout), amazing access/vicinity to the pool, fully stocked (pans for cooking and tupperwares for packing beach snacks, great gas BBQ, all the beach gear and toys, chairs, umbrellas). Also great board games and inside toys for back at the condo. Really looking forward to coming back again!

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 were a large family vacationing together but staying in two separate units within the same complex, just a building apart. This review comes from having a comparison of seeing another two bedroom unit nearby. This unit is on the second level and has a ceiling fan and AC in every room (both bedrooms and living room). The beds were comfortable and the unit was well stocked with everything we needed. Beach and pool towels were plentiful, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, ice packs. I was also glad to see emergency supplies such as flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, bactine, and perhaps left from others guests: aloe, bug repellent, pantry items (salt, pepper, tin foil, tea, coffee, filters, spices. The second bedroom has a sliding louvered doors instead of a solid wall. This open room can be requested to have two twin beds or a king bed configuration. The sofa sectional also has a foldout bed. The apartment sized washer/dryer combo is located in a closet between the second bedroom and hall bathroom. All the large windows have room darkening shades so I slept really well. The dining table and lanai dining seats 4. There was ample space for the four of us!

The grounds of this property are beautiful and well maintained. This unit is located toward the East entrance of the Palms of Wailea, close to the road and furtherest from the ocean side. There is a small view of the ocean from the outside lanai. The ocean and walking path are not within walking distance of this unit in our opinion. We loved the Wailea location, but we had to drive to our favorite Wailea restaurants, shops and beaches. The unit itself was sufficient for what we needed. The beach chairs and umbrellas worked perfect for beach days. This unit could use some updates, it was fine, but looks aged and dated. Our biggest complaint is the AC in the master bedroom only. We really didn’t spend any time in the main living area because it was too hot to be enjoyed. Ultimately we did like the location of this property, but we probably would not stay in this unit again due to the AC.

My family unit was of 4 loved our 9 days in the condo. The beach and pool were AMAZING and there were several days where we didn't even leave the property. The walk down to the beach from this particular unit is a little long for shlepping all your gear, but we still did it a few times a day.

The location of this condo was prime for getting to the beaches in Wailea and Kihei. We had plenty of space for a family of five. We loved the views of the ocean and sunset from the pool area. Definitely one of our best trips!

The unit was nicely updated and in a fantastic location - amazing sunset views from the lanai. The unit had a wonderful cross breeze during the afternoon, but AC in the living room might be helpful to accommodate the peak heat levels in the late afternoon. The unit was nicely equipped with the necessary amenities, but was missing a few small items - spatula and scissors. Overall, great experience enjoyed by our family; will rent again.

Enjoyed the condo. Great balcony. Nice well stocked kitchen and living room. Second bedroom small with no room for suitcases. Asked to have bdrm 2 single beds made into a king bed. It didn’t happen but we made it work. The BBQ on balcony a real plus. Check in and out went smoothly. Thank you for the memory.

The property is exactly what the pictures show. The only issue we had is that some of the neighbors did not observe the quiet hours. Children playing outside your condo at 6:00AM is not ideal. We tried to notify the property manager of some electrical outlet issues, but were not able to make contact with him for some reason.

The Palms is a great location for a Maui vacation - central to all the great spots Maui has to offer. The unit itself is dated but well cared for, and is well stocked for cooking, entertaining and spending time on the beach. The lanai is quiet and backs on to a lovely green space. No direct view of ocean but close to the pool which makes sunset viewing very easy. The only complaints we had are the size of the kitchen - which is a bit small for two people working together, and that it had rug instead of tile in the living spaces. Also the property manager was very responsive leading up to and during our stay. Overall we were really happy with our stay.

The Palms is a beautiful property just a half mile walk to the beach. It’s an equal walk to the fun and activity of Kihei town or the high-end shops and hotels in Wailea. We had a great time.

My family loved this vacation rental! It was just as pictured, clean, and the proximity to the pool was fantastic! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and there is a beach in walking distance. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for making meals and the grill was an awesome option! Can't wait to book again!

Fortunately for us, we have been to Maui numerous times throughout the years, Kihei is our go to place. We have stayed all over the Kihei area as well but not at The Palms at Wailea, until now. This by far was our most enjoyable condo to stay at. Loved it!! First off the location, close enough to walk to the beach and The Shops at Wailea and yet far enough away from the traffic on South Kihei Road. The unit is located right off one of the entrances to the Palms at Wailea complex, but noise was not as issue. In fact, we loved the location. Just down the stairs and around the corner of the building to the pool and pavilion across the street. The unit itself was awesome, pretty much as described. There was lots of room, comfy beds, good water pressure, nice kitchen and appliances and a wonderful lanai (where we spent a lot of time). We also really enjoyed the bench seat in front of the large living room window. The ocean view was okay through the palm trees but enjoyed it much better from the lanai. Sunsets were AMAZING!! Check in and out were easy and communications with Krista were excellent. We had no issues and look forward to staying here the next time. Mahalo

My 12 year old and I just stayed at this unit. It was very clean, spacious, close to the pool and beach! Location in Wailea is perfect-close to shops and restaurants. We loved it and will definitely go back and stay again. The hosts were lovely and very attentive. They helped us with suggestions, things to do and were prompt in replying to our questions. Thank you Brian and Marie-Christine!!

Love our 1 week here at 205! The home was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped. This unit is so close to the pool and hot tub that my kids enjoyed going. It’s very close to beach. The beach chairs and umbrella were a plus…. would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this property for just over a week. It was just as advertised. Lots of room for our family, well stocked and comfortable. We had beautiful sunsets from the large living room window. The lanai was a relaxing place to enjoy a drink or morning coffee. The location was excellent, close to so many amazing beaches. The owners were very helpful and organized. Communication was great.

We had a wonderful stay in this Palms at Wailea condo during our visit to Maui. The property (while slightly aged) is clean and well-kept with a nice Lanai for eating and relaxing and is conveniently located in the heart of Wailea close to Kihei downtown with easy access to multiple beaches (our favorites were Keawakapu and Big Beach). This condo is situated inside a beautiful community and has a nice heated pool/hot tub which our family enjoyed every single day. The condo was well-stocked and we appreciated having access to beach chairs, beach umbrellas, towels and even sand toys for our kid to play with. Communication with the owner was very easy and straight forward. Overall highly recommended!

We loved our stay at the Palms. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We especially appreciate lots of beach towels and chairs. The condo was quiet and peaceful. We loved how the lanai bordered the grass, instead of a road and or parking lot. Every night we slept so soundly, as the beds were so comfortable. Most mornings I walked to Keawapaku Beach (our favorite beach by far!) and it only took me around 10 minutes. The location is so convenient. We honestly would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A very nice condo for a lovely two week vacation. My sister and brother in law and my husband and I really enjoyed the clean, updated space, comfortable beds and grilling on the Lanai.

Calling the rental company seemed to irritate them. We only called twice with general inquiries and each time were told they look after hundreds of properties and couldn’t assist. On site at the front desk, we inquired about local bus services; they didn’t know which bus number, cost or routing. In our suite, the sofa bed was impossible to pull out. So that no damage was done, we slept on the floor.

This condo was the 4th rental for us at Palms at Wailea. It was as described, and one of the more nicely appointed units we’ve stayed in. It was also the only first floor unit we’ve had, which was a plus when bringing in luggage. The only negatives were the reading lights on the bed, which weren’t operating, and the motion sensitive spot lights on the lanai, which seemed to turn on spontaneously, both day and night. Those things were frustrating, but minor. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Very nice accommodations. Spacious living area and a nice kitchen. Didn't have any issues while staying there. The pool is located close by and is in very good shape. The grounds are very well kept up and beautiful. We enjoyed our time at the condo. Front door is a bit difficult to open, but it didn't distract from our time there.

We really enjoyed our stay - we've stayed at the Palms several times but this was our first time in this condo. We thought it was really comfortable, well set up for our vacation and tucked away in a nice and quiet part of the property while still close to the pool. The booking, check in and check out processes were super simple. We'll book again for sure! Thank you!

Our family of four (two teenage boys) had such an incredible stay. The layout of the unit is terrific and the decor is beautiful. There is absolutely everything you could need during your stay and the owners have done a great job of stocking the kitchen and planning for every type of family to stay there. We loved morning coffees on the lanai and watching the sunset over the ocean as we made our dinner in the evening. The property is very well maintained with a terrific pool and deck. It was quiet, but there were still lots of families around so it had a great energy. And the location is ideal. Very close to a beautiful beach with great waves for boogie boarding or just relaxing to watch the sunset. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back.

I picked this property because it had been completely remodeled. It was as nice as the pictures and description! They did a great job on the remodel, which made us feel right at home, by the end of our trip. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was nice, the bathroom was great, and the outdoor furniture was really comfortable, and made us want to hang out and just enjoy our time there. We will definitely come back! Thank you Abi and Sherron, for making our stay, feel like home, in your home.

Palms Wailea is a great location! This townhouse is lovely and guest ready with a spacious well stocked kitchen and updated appliances. Very open living area, light and bright with multiple glass sliders onto the large patio ready with padded lounges, wicker chairs, dining table and barbecue. Nice size primary bedroom…with a great mattress to catch a good nights sleep! 2 full baths with extra towels and toiletries. Beach chairs and towels, umbrella and cooler for guest use! We enjoyed it all! Jillian was a very accessible host from booking to checking in to departure. Thanks so much for sharing this property with us! We loved it!

The Palms at Wailea The condo was very nice and well appointed. The furniture (with the exception of the couch) was very comfortable. My favorite place was the lanai in the morning for yoga. The only drawback was the location facing a well traveled road that supported motorcycles and cars playing excessively loud music. The beaches in the local area are amongst the best on Maui and we spent 33 days enjoying them. The owner was responsive and helpful and we loved cooking and eating on the lanai.

The property had everything we needed including beach chairs, towels and a boogie board. Appliances were a little dated but functional - the dryer was loud and squeaky - so set it and leave the house :) The pool, hot tub and view of the sunset from the property were wonderful!

We loved our stay here! The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed using the beach chairs and cooler. We used the grill and ate outside for most of our meals. The location is great with the pool being right across the street and the beaches were a short drive away. The pool does have a lot of rules so just be aware with kids.

We have stayed at the Palms for a few of our Maui visits and have always enjoyed it. We liked having the two bedroom and oceanview. Unit was clean and enjoyed the spacious en-suite with oceanview as well. The unit could use some TLC as some of the blinds and slider screens were difficult to operate, and consider solid doors on second bedroom.
