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.

Recent The Palms at Wailea Reviews


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: The place is great, beautiful, but it is warm in the main living room and kitchen. It's ok at night when you can enjoy the outside and it's cooler, but it's just a little stuffy. Otherwise the place is amazing. Highly recommend

Jillian was EXCEPTIONAL, her communication is top tier. Responds so lightning fast and helped to answer any and every question we had. Would definitely stay at one of her properties again. The property had everything we needed for our week long stay. Having the laundry at our disposal was actually much more useful than we had thought. The area was quiet, conveniently located, and easy to access.

I would definitely stay here again. The unit was clean and everything was in working order. The beds were comfortable and the AC kept the place nice and cool. There were four of us staying here and there was plenty of space. The pool and grounds were well kept. All of the times we went to the pool area there was plenty of space and typically only another couple or family there. We used the grill a few times and it is located very close to this unit, and they are in great condition. I enjoyed running around the block early mornings. It is a hilly mile and a half around with partial views of the ocean and palm trees. The beach is walking distance, although carrying chairs and umbrella driving was preferred. They provide initial toiletries and that was communicated to us so make sure to bring your own (shampoo and soap). It is walking distance to shops, restaurants and cafes. I was not disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay, the condo was so comfortable and very well equipped. Also, it is so close to the beach and great restaurants. Looking forward to our next trip!

The property is as described. It’s clean and updated. We loved all of the great suggestions that were provided by the owner in the book. We enjoyed the pool. We did suggest to the employees at the desk to provide pool towels for guests who may be arriving and can’t check in just yet or for guests who are checking out and have a later flight. The pool is very nice. First impressions are everything so I suggest that the curtains and window coverings be in the open position when guests arrive and the A/C be left on for guests. Opening the curtains would offer natural light and refreshing A/C upon arrival would leave a lasting impression. Overall we had a very good experience. The location is fantastic. The Shops at Wailea are close, the boardwalk to the various beaches is within walking distance, the food trucks aren’t very far away, lots of great restaurants, and a very upscale and safe neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. We loved Hawaii!

We have stayed at this condo twice, and we are daydreaming about our next visit. The condo is in an excellent location away from the road and close to the Palms at Wailea pool. We could walk to the Shops at Wailea for our morning coffee and then along the oceanfront path for beautiful water views, sea turtle spotting and exploring tide pools. We stayed here with our two-year-old granddaughter and her parents. The condo includes beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, snorkel gear, and pool toys. The Port-a-crib was used as well. The condo is spotless and the mattresses are newer and extremely comfortable. Jillian answered any questions within an hour. We loved staying here! The owner has her recommended restaurants and excursions in a notebook. All of her choices were excellent! We highly recommend the food carts at South Maui Gardens in Kihei (also a recommendation from one of the flight attendants on our flight to Maui).

Beautiful condo and property. The air conditioning in the primary suite was great. If there were substantial breezes, the main living area was comfortable but was definitely really warm at times with no AC. We used all of the fans! Boogie boards, beach chairs and towels were a definite plus. Kitchen was well stocked. Overall a really great stay

Everything was perfect: the whole complex was very well kept, convenient location and this unit itself. There is a club house with a nice pool and a hot tub, everything well taken care of with lush greenery. The condo was spotless clean, kitchen very well equipped with new and good quality items and appliances. Living room and bedrooms nice and very comfortable. Big lanai with a box containing beach equipment. There was also an iron and ironing board, hairdryer and even hair straightener for our convenience. Big thank you to our host Cara!

This condo is amazing! The location is great, Wailea Shops are nearby and there is about 15-minute walk to the beach. Parking at the beach is sometime a problem, so walking was a good option. The whole complex is beautifully kept, pool and a hot tub are clean and well maintained. There are many grilling stations equipped with good Weber bbqs. This unit is so well equipped I was absolutely surprised, the kitchen has really everything including… the meat thermometer. Enough pots and plates, everything new and good quality. Beds are comfortable and really there was absolutely nothing to complain about. Clean, comfortable and very nice.

Clean and well supplied property. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances and things. The property is next to the road and is subject to allot of traffic noise. The property is centrally located near most beaches and shopping. The beach is a 15 to 20 minute walk for older folks.

This is our first time over on the Wailea side as our rental and it was great. The unit had everything we needed and wasn’t lacking for anything. It was very clean and be located. Too many great beaches. The complex was also very well kept including the pool which was beautiful. We will definitely be returning.

Patio sliders are very difficult to open. LR ceiling fan does not operate well. Stove and microwave clocks need repair. Patio and dining chair pads need replacing as they provide little cushion. TV operating instructions are out of date.

We loved this property and unit. Four adults and very roomy and comfortable. If you don’t mind the noise of the traffic this is ideally situated. If you want quiet space it might not be for you.

The city no longer allows barbecues on the lanais or decks of condominiums due to the fire danger. The complex provided community grills which were very clean and well maintained, but for years I have enjoyed grilling on the lanais and miss the convenience. Not the owners doing however.

Beautiful property & location with parking just outside of the condo. If using a cane or walking impaired the two flights of stairs should be considered.

The location is a wonderful spot in Wailea. The pool and condo grounds are beautiful. The condo offers a large lanai and lovely lawn with a clean grill area. Like so many condos in Hawaii this condo needs a deep clean. However, the condo is comfortable and we enjoyed our two week stay.

May 2026

The palms is a beautiful and peaceful complex in a convenient location to access all that Wailea area has to offer. Not the shortest walk to the beach compared to other options, but spacious units with large lanais and elevated ocean views from the pool area. This was a last minute rental, and our hosts were very responsive with check in happening within an hour of booking the stay. They provided clear instructions for check in and the unit contains clear guides to operate TVs, WIFI, etc. Any questions we had were answered promptly by written responses and/or a follow up phone call.

Overall the condo was a solid 3.5 out of 5. The kitchen is a little lacking in supplies compared to other condos we have stayed in Hawaii and the pans definitely need replacing. It would be nice to also have some sand toys for kids (again, these are things that have been supplied in other condos we have stayed in). The beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. We would probably stay again.

Aloha! This was our second time staying at this property in Maui and was just as good as the first time, if not better! The condo is clean and comfortable, conveniently located, close to one of the best beaches on the island and the view - WOW! Paul’s an awesome host. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Mahalo!

Great location in a quiet area. The place was very clean and had everything supplied for a comfortable stay. Lots of towels, beach chairs, coolers and an umbrella made the trip easy. The property was immaculate and exceptionally well maintained. The BBQ's were cleaned daily and looked like brand new. Pool was great. Close to great beaches and the Shops of Wailea. Would definitely stay again!

Nice unit and very well stocked. Tiny ocean view but quiet. The one negative is the outdoor furniture is not comfortable at all. Durable but not something you want to spend much time on which is unfortunate as I like sitting out on the deck.

The condo was very clean and tidy. The furniture was very comfortable and placed in way that gives you great views when sitting. The appliances were in tip top shape and also very clean. My wife and I enjoyed our ocean views from the living area and the lanai. This was our second stay in this condo and we plan on staying here again when we vacation on Maui. Thanks to Scott and Renee for sharing this awesome condo with us and thank you Mari for being such a great host while we were on Maui. As said by Mari on our last text message with each other, "a hui hou"

We loved everything about this condo. It was clean, and well decorated. We loved having laundry available since you can easily go through multiple outfits per day. The available beach chairs, towels and umbrella made for wonderful beach time. The kitchen was very nice and completely stocked with all dishes and cookware we could need. Fridge was big, AC and fans made it very comfortable. Pool was great and enjoyable. Location is great and easy to get to several beaches. Easy check-in/check-out process. We had a great vacation and this condo was a big reason for it. Mahalo!

This was an incredible place to stay! Jillian's condo is well designed and tastefully decorated. The kitchen functionality was excellent! It was very well stocked and we were very grateful for that!The balcony views were stunning, and we made it a point to enjoy evening dinners on there every night. The beds were comfortable (including the sofa bed mattress), condo parking was right by the unit, and the complex's pool was surprisingly large and beautiful! As soon as we can, we'll be back! Thanks Jillian!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: The view was amazing and the location was great; unit was very clean; very large lanai; walking distance to the shops at Wailea and the beach.Con’s: the starter supplies were minimal; the master shower handle fell off; the screen doors need either oiled or replaced. They were hard to open and were loud when opening; there was no broom or vacuum.Overall the place was great and we had a wonderful time.

The condo had everything we needed - kitchen, coffee maker, spices, etc. The pool and hot tub was just a short walk and very enjoyable. The area was quiet - peaceful early mornings with breakfast and sunrise on the lanai were a treat. AC in the bedroom was really nice to turn on for the night for peaceful sleeping.

Unit was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. We love The Palms complex and have stayed here many times. One thing to note, because this unit sits at the edge of the complex near the road there is quite a bit of loud road noise during the day, particularly commute times. Not a deal breaker for me but anyone looking for utter peace and quite may want a center of complex unit instead. I would rent this unit again.

We have stayed at The Palms at Wailea many times over the past 25 years or so, and have never been disappointed. The property is located on a grassy hill, with a short walk to Keawakapu Beach. Ulua Beach (with excellent snorkeling) is a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk. Unit 504 itself is 2-BR, 2-BA, and quite modern, with enough distance between the two bedrooms for privacy. The kitchen, kitchen nook and family room are very inviting, with a nice patio outside. The property owner Bonnie is VERY responsive to questions, so we felt as though we had already established a nice relationship with her before we even arrived. And Chelsea did a great job cleaning the unit before we arrived. The Palms also has a great pool, which is a nice place to visit, after a morning of snorkeling, swimming and sunning at the beach. We'll be back!

Lawrence is a very attentive host. He wants to make your stay as wonderful as it can be. His condo is well stocked with everything you could possibly need including all beach items! The photographs he has taken, displayed as art in his condo, are beautiful. We love “The Palms at Wailea”. This is our third time staying in this condominium complex (we have stayed twice before in other condos). The common areas are extremely well taken care of, the condos are very large, the pool is great, and the complex sits in a great location close to Wailea and the beaches.The VRBO map showing this condo’s location in the complex is not accurate. This needs to be corrected so the renter can see where the condo actually sits on the property.

Maui is like our second home. We have stayed at this condo every time that we have visited Maui. The condo is conveniently located to shops, restaurants, and the best beaches. The condo is clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The amenities are great for beach days. My favorite activity is sitting on the lanai, watching the sunrise or sunset, and admiring the gorgeous ocean view.

The unit was extremely moist upon arrival. An area of the rug in the living room was completely soaked. The showers/bath had hair in them. Shampoo/conditioner bottles were empty. Towel bar fell off of the wall. Very few additional linens/blankets for the kids. Windows need updating, hard to open and aren’t on the track correctly. The dishes were dirty in the cabinet, we had to scrub them before using any of them. The silverware had food remnants on them. Very limited with utensils in this unit. Would not stay in this unit again. The property and pool was very nice.

This was a well cared for townhouse - great lanai, well stocked kitchen and full beach gear. The beds were comfy and Mike was super helpful with any questions we had. About a 5 min walk to a great beach. Easy walk to coffee and the shopping nearby.
