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.

Loved the location!! Spacious, clean, and stylish condo. Responsive and welcoming host.

The apt was great. We really enjoyed our stay

Not a good experience as a VRBO previous customer. The location was great but the condo itself is tired and worn and needs upgrading. Issues were: worn, dirty carpets. The guest bathroom vanity was chipped, scarred, and broken at a corner bottom. There was mold in the corner of the guest bathtub. The front room blinds were broken so that one side could not close without manually pulling it, causing sunlight to warm up the room uncomfortably.There was a light bulb out in the chandelier above the dining table.The refrigerator had red lights on the read "water filter needs replacement" and "Air filter needs replacement"Coldwell Banker Island Vacations refused to provide any additional tiny shower gel bottles as the set was considered a "starter set" and the customer was expected to go out and buy their own. This is something a hotel would gladly provide. VRBO hosts normally provide more than one small bottle. This is the way Coldwell Banker Vacations treats their customers so I will not rent from them in the future

We had an absolutely awesome stay in Maui. We come to Maui twice a year and have stayed at multiple VRBO’s. The condo we stayed in was absolutely perfect. It was very clean, comfortable and had all the amenities needed. Just like we were at home! We are already planning our next trip and definitely will book this condo again!

This was a fantastic unit. Everything was practically perfect. Except that the TV is way too small for this modern world - I had larger computer monitors 20 years ago! Also, need towel racks (not just a single hook) in the bathroom...

Very clean. Lots of beach stuff to use and overall wish we were still there!Internet, TV, Fridge, Showers were fine.TLC Items:Patio door too hard to move and can't be locked - lucky we are yoing and strong. Felt like we were going to tear off the handle due to the amount of force required.Unable to open/close the blinds so can't cover the patio doors (strings broken)Microwave brokenMain Oven cycles and can't be used reliablyHinges of cabinets need tighteningPatio cushions very worn and old

Host is goodTownhouse is a long way from the pool and pool is up a steep hill. 15 minute walk to beachTownhouse is a bit cluttered and needs significant upgrades in the bathrooms. Overall the unit is dated and tired . It was clean and well supplied. However the thermostat was locked and could not be adjustedThe bidet in the master had a sign on it “do not use”TV system was quirky but we figured it out. However You need to put in your on logins to stream and we never figured out how to get local channels but not a big deal. Furniture was moderately comfortable. TV is small for a family room. There were beach chairs there however some were broken. Beds were not comfortable for us and the condo is quite dated. Kitchen was well equipped and worked well.Be aware. A busy road goes by the unit so road noise is a significant issue even at night. View from the upstairs patio is ok, you can barely see some ocean through tree canopy. It’s a functional unit but quirky. Not as good or as nice as we had hoped for. It was nice to have 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for our family.

Host was very easy to work with and communicative. The condo and the location near the pool were fantastic. We loved seeing the ocean from the lanai and even saw a few whales from there, although the clubhouse has a great viewing area.

February 2026

Host had prompt communication and property grounds are great; as is the location. But clean, maintained unit in pictures/described in many of the latest reviews was pretty dirty, in need of maintenance, and didn't match what was presented online.

only disappointed as fridge water broken, outdoor furniture was old and worn, snd carpets in master bedroom dirty. loved location and view as we have stayed in same unit several years ago when it looked much fresher

January 2026

The only thing I would add is a map of the place. Where the garbage cans outside are located, where the pool is. How can you access the beach. That sort of thing. We loved our stay!

Doug S.
January 2026

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.
