We stayed in Maui for a portion of our honeymoon a week or so ago. It was our first time in the island, and we stayed at the condo for about 5 days.
I have a mixed review on this one, but I'll be clinical with the pros and cons:
Pros:
- great location! Its just a short walk to the beach
- place was clean and bug free
- did appreciate the AC
- the place was well stocked with everything you need
Cons:
- was much smaller than we realized, there wasnt enough room in the bedroom to open up our suitcases properly
- the noise transfer was rough, there were always people yelling outside the bedroom at all hours of the night
- shower head was crazy low
- definitely needs an update for the bedroom & bathroom, kitchen was fantastic though!
We also had an incident the day after check out (while on another island), that rubbed me the wrong way. I got a phone call from a woman claiming it was "the front desk calling" and she needed to know what room I was staying in right away. It was super confusing, because a) she didn't tell me what place or any other info she was calling about, and b) there's no way in hell I'd be giving out personal information like that on the phone.
After a weird back and forth, she again demanded I tell her the room I was staying in, because I must have written down the wrong information, and there were new people checking in. Eventually I found out that she was calling from Maui Vista, and she read my check out date as May 29 instead of May 24... to which she proceeded to yell at me again for writing down the wrong date. I dont think it's appropriate to be getting a call like that as a customer, and it really worked me up at the time.
Overall, I wish we had invested a little more money and got a different place on Maui. If you're worried about your budget, you cant get better than this, really cost affordable for the area. But, if you want a good experience all around, I do believe there may be better options.
