Recent The Palms at Wailea Reviews


When we have visited Maui in the past, we have always stayed in West Maui and really wanted to spend more time in Wailea. This condo was the perfect spot for just that. It's very close to great beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The property itself was excellent. The recently remodeled unit had a calm, modern feel. It was pretty hot when we were there so having AC throughout was very helpful. The unit has everything that you would need: fully equipped kitchen (including a shave ice maker!), plenty of towels, and beach gear. The enormous lanai was great for having a meal or just relaxing. The pool on the property was very nice, nothing fancy but great for a cool dip after we spent the day hiking. We had no issues during our stay except for Hurricane Hone that passed to the south during our stay. We had a day and a half of rain, but the unit has board games, smart TVs for streaming, and fast WiFi so we were able to pass the time. Jillian was super responsive via text and let us know where the emergency kit was, just in case. We will definitely be staying in Wailea when we return to Maui and hope to stay here again if it's available.

This property was clean and well equipped with kitchen supplies and beach toys. Great location. One thing to note is the pool is not kid friendly. They do not allow any floaties or pool games. This property is great for groups without kids or groups that are planning on spending more time at the beach than the pool. Also note that the property description says there is a grill on the lanai, however the grill is a shared grill in the middle of the lawn. Great communication with the host Peter! He was super responsive to my questions.

We spent a perfect week at Wailea Palms 205!

We had a wonderful time at this condo and we highly recommend it. The condo is comfortable and spacious. It had lots of extras that really come in handy on vacation. The location is very central to many favorite areas on the island. Lawrence (the owner) was very responsive when we needed some support. We would definitely rent this condo again in the future. Thanks Lawrence and Aloha!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed a couple of weeks in August 2024, and the condo was excellent. We believe the unit is around 1100 sq ft, and that amount of space was such a treat when on vacation. All the beds were above comfortable, the ensuite is huge... (a hallway unto itself), the living room area was spacious and comfortable, and the lanai being 1/2 covered allowed us to dine outside, every meal, for 2 weeks.The kitchen is well stocked with everything one may need in terms of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, and the pantry having more than just salt and pepper was a nice surprise.The rental company was informative, helpful and responsive. Perfect customer service.Our only suggestion for consideration would be to offer a 1/2 day rent for those of us flying out in the evening. We had friends rent at the same time in another Palms condo, and that was an option for them. A nice offering in our opinion.To the owners, your condo is very warm and inviting. Mahalo for sharing your Wailea property. This was our first time staying in Wailea, as we usually had picked Kihei. This condo is now our new benchmark moving forward. :)

We loved our stay in Maui and we could not have found a better place. We definitely hope to return and will recommend it to everyone we know. The apt is beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. It was incredibly well stocked and organized. A lot of care went into setting up. The location and grounds are beautiful too, we went by the fancy hotels and thought we had made a much better pick. We will definitely come back

I thought I read it had access to grand wailea, but it does not. No bbq on patio…new Maui law. Photo should be updated. Wi-Fi slow. No shaded area around the pool. Water was shallow and warm.

Roxann's condo at the Palms is an exceptional VRBO rental. The condo is fully equipped and very comfortable. We have stayed in many condos in the Palms at Wailea and this was by far the best experience to date. Roxann is very communicative and delightful. I highly recommend this rental.

Our family had a great trip at this unit. It is a great location with a pool, close to the airport, many beaches and shopping. The hosts were awesome and very responsive when we had any questions. One of our favorite parts about the unit was enjoying breakfast on the patio while bird watching. Also, the window in between the kitchen and patio was pretty awesome when serving our family meals.

Yes, this is our third time coming back to this unit. The owners do take amazing care of this unit. We absolutely love 1704 and works perfect for our family. We do cook a few dinners every trip and this kitchen is complete with everything you would need to cook a gourmet meal. We loved eating breakfast and having coffee on the balcony before our day starts.Plenty of parking, safe environment And an amazing swimming pool. Only downfall is the assigned parking spot for the unit is tight and right up against the curb but we just used the guest parking spot and no issues. Nothing is going to be 100% perfect but this is pretty close.

Lawrence was a great host with great communication. His suggestions were great and would recommend his place to any other couples looking to enjoy Maui and Wailea. The kitchen had surprisingly anything you’d need and we throughly enjoyed our stay.

The Palms is an ideal location, offering close proximity to various beaches along the Wailea Beach Path and just a 5-minute drive from the Shops at Wailea. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed. Although the amenities only included a pool and hot tub, they were very well maintained. The setting was quiet and beautiful.

We loved everything about this condo. Perfect for my family of 4. The pool was just outside and steps away from the lanai. It was so relaxing to sit out there in the warm evenings. The complex was quiet and peaceful. The beach chairs and towels were great to have. The parking spot was just outside the front door. It definitely felt like home away from home. The pictures are exactly what it looks like in person. I can’t wait to rent this unit again.

This was our first time staying on Maui. The property was amazing with great amenities. We used the chairs, umbrella, cooler, washer/dryer, beach towels, and patio daily. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and even had Tupperware to pack lunches for the beach/picnic days! The starter packs of detergents and toilet paper were more than sufficient to see us through. The pool was great and so close by, and was open till 10 for a quick night swim/hot tub after long days hiking. The hosts communication and clear instructions were wonderful, we knew exactly how to get into the unit and they had lights on and even some lovely Hawaiian music playing upon our arrival. We would definitely recommend and would rent this unit again. Thanks for a great stay!

What a fabulous condo! It was very clean, nicely decorated the host was great! The outside box of beach supplies was a plus as we used the chairs, umbrellas and snorkel gear as well as the provided beach towels which saved us time and money. We comfortably slept 6 adults as both couches folded out for sleeping. Loved having a washer and dryer in the unit with detergent supplied! Jillian was a great host to us and very responsive to our questions and helped us work through a snafu we encountered. The property around the condo is nicely manicured and the pool and view from the pool area is just beautiful. Would definitely stay here again!

Have stayed at various properties at Ekahi Village over the years. This was a very nice and clean unit. The Management company was very responsive to our needs and questions. Very quiet unit despite being near the street. Pool is right outside of the unit. I would only caution about the air conditioning. While the units in the bedrooms are noted to be new, they are the kind that you would find in many older hotels. The units are very loud, especially if your a lighter sleeper, as they cycle on/off throughout the night. They are not quiet like some other units. There are ceiling fans throughout the unit to help. There is not however, any air conditioning in the living room/kitchen area. It does get very warm in this area. It can also be very troublesome if you plan to use the sleeper sofa for any people in your party. They may have trouble sleeping due to the warmth. The unit came well stocked with kitchen ware , beach towels, regular towels and beach chairs. Can eat on the Lanai and see the ocean and watch the sunset if you choose. So if air conditioning is not a concern, this is a great unit.

Always love the Palms and the place we stayed was awesome! Right across the street from the pool...couldn't get any better

The house was beautiful. I will say it is on the second floor, which I didn’t realize. And there is an elevated walkway inside/hall which could be tricky if you have young daring toddlers. The location was perfect to the shops. The access to the pool just across the parking by lot was wonderful.
