Not what we expected when we read "gardens". It is more like an event space with lots of food…read moretrucks amongst the trees. Not like a garden you walk through with different plants and flowers. They have lots of things, though. There was a yoga session happening in the middle lawn area. They have a butterfly area, even though the butterflies were somewhere else. There is an aging tortoise, I forget his name. There are also different businesses in the buildings, like a spa and a salon. There are different small vendors with their booths and several food trucks; although, some were not open in the morning and the Thai food truck had all their items sold out on their menu already. The prices were even more pricier than the food trucks at Maui Food Trucks. One vendor had hand crafted desserts for $20/piece! I admired from afar, haha. Everything is advertised as "farm to table" maybe justifying their prices. We shared an acai bowl and it was mid. The the peanut butter was just scraped on the side of the bowl. Our typical acai bowls at least put the peanut/almond butter in the middle like any other topping so you can get an even bite with everything. But the dallop of peanut butter just on the side, it was like we ordered peanut butter on the side of our acai bowl. It was weird. I bet it's more alive at night with more food trucks open and live music. We came and saw and didn't come back. I can see how it can be great for families with toddlers running around, giving them a safe space to burn their energy. Until then, this probably won't be the top of our list.

South Maui Gardens is a nice place to stop to look at some trinkets and pick up some food from one…read moreof the many food trucks. The area is lush with lots of plants and there a many vendors along the path where you can pick up a souvenir or gift to take home with you. The trucks offer a lot of different dishes to experience, my favorite being the one that sold Hawaiian plates, e.g. Kalua Pork and mac. It's a great place to stop by, relax and chill after a hard day of adventures. Surrounding parking is easy and plentiful. The area to the back of the lots has lots of parking space.

The BEST meal we probably had in Maui. And not exorbitantly priced either…read more Not exactly sure, but it looks like this is located on a golf course. They've got great views of the ocean and sunset. We were lucky to enjoy a live ukulele player/singer for a wedding that was happening in a private section. Their pina on the rocks cocktail (Mahina Coconut Rum, Coconut Cream, Pineapple, Lime, Toasted Coconut, Dash of Angostura Bitters) is to die for. I had two. Dish highlights were kung pao calamari and ponzu glazed catch. Highly recommend! I would definitely come back.

There's bar seating and regular seating available. It's open air. Option to sit outside or inside. We had mixed experiences here throughout the years that we visit. Food is super good here. Always good. The burger is great. The poke is yummy! We just tried the grilled cheese and that was Ono too! The staff however can vary, depending on who you have. Our last server was super good and attentive. Very nice gal.

Honestlt those sweet potatoes took me by surprise! really lovely flavor there. Even the bacon and sausage were yummy. Fresh juice that they served was really delicious. It was a blend of three different juices (I don't remember which exactly they were) but quite nice. They also had a nice store there with local coffee and food and produce and what not. Husband and I got some fresh pineapple and also a salad for later in the day which came in handy! Overall also a beautiful place to walk around! So peaceful and scenic with birds around too.

We dropped our luggage off in the morning and came back after dinner to shower and get dressed for our flight out. What an amazing place. Zack was so great to work with and helped us out so much. Need a secure place to store your luggage and laptop? Need office space to work before you fly out? Need a shower (shampoo/soap products and towels provided)? Need your luggage dropped off at the airport at the end of your last day but don't want to worry about it getting stolen or overheating in your car? Call this place, they made our last day in Maui perfect!

I came here for the first time for my cousin's wedding, and even with the horrible rain that day, I…read morewas beyond impressed with how beautifully everything was set up and how smoothly the entire event flowed. The staff clearly had everything under control and didn't let the weather affect a single moment. From the ceremony to the reception, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, every space was picture-perfect and created such a romantic, elegant atmosphere. From the moment they said "I do" to the very last dance on the dance floor, the energy, organization, and attention to detail were incredible. You could tell the team truly cares about making each wedding special. If you're looking for a stunning venue with a professional and attentive staff that can handle anything (even unexpected weather!), I would highly recommend this place. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Sugar Beach Events was so easy to work with for our wedding…read more Chef Lee went out of her way to respond to emails from me as the bride, calm wedding guests who called about food allergies, and helped our coordinator to fine-tune details for the big day. SBE were really easygoing when we asked to make a few tweaks to the appetizer menu, changed the size of the wedding cake (and then changed it back), and inquired about rentals. It all went very smoothly. Expectations and rules were clearly laid out in the venue contract regarding costs, service, vendors, rentals and food. We had one surprise with the admin fees on the bar tab the night of the wedding but the service was so excellent we didn't worry about it. The venue is gorgeous! It's right on the beach but the ceremony takes place on grass, which was helpful for our guests. It has a lovely path along the side garden that we used as the wedding entrance. The house is quite large and allowed for dinner in air conditioning. They even had the AC cranked up in the bride room for getting ready. We got A LOT of compliments from our guests (and vendors) on the food. I had at least one guest compliment that they loved each appetizer and each entree. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your wedding or event here.

The cottage had everything we needed (fridge, stove, pots, pants, utensils, paper towels, drying rack, dish soap and sponge, etc.). It felt like a home away from home in this wonderful paradise. There is a farmers market, ABC store, shaved ice, and a few more eateries walking distance. Recommend crossing the street and walking along the beach. We got to speak to the owner and her daughter. This is the third and 4th generation in the family to run the business and I absolutely love that. I highly recommend this location and also highly recommend that guest book through their website so that the local business can get absorb more of the funds.

The room is so HOT and humid!! There is a tiny noisy Ac in bedroom and a tiny Ac in the bathroom . My question is why wasn't it turned on prior to our arrival. I am staying here right now and just woke up in a horrible, noisy room. We called front desk 4 times last night, no answer. My husband walks over asking where is the Ice Maker!!! NO ICE Machine! NO BOTTLED WATER! Like other reviews there is no restaurant and it is NOT being remodeled as their website states!! It has been abandoned. 3 parking spots! No bottled water, no food or snacks to buy. Yet they are selling tons of local clothes and little art work. I would never recommend staying here!! AVOID!

The interior is spacious and comfortable, allowing for an indoor seat to view the beautiful ocean landscape. It is a small and intimate venue, but it serves a cozy and breathtaking purpose. There is a small parking area 'across' the Estate, almost pushing up into the wooded/ green areas. The restrooms for guests are separate from the main building. They took care of all at the wedding, from bride to groom to parents to guests. The food is not the best, but it was sufficient. No one will choose this venue for the food over the view- it's the view! Lovely venue for that purpose, you'll be ecstatic.

Extraordinary place with truly spectacular views! Kukahiko Estate was absolutely perfect for our…read moreintimate 9/15/18 wedding and reception. It's an event-licensed venue but family-owned and private, so you'll need to use one of several different Maui wedding planners for more detailed information and booking. The house can easily serve as a beautiful stand-in stage if it rains, with ample space and guest bathrooms conveniently located directly outside the front entrance. It's in a residential area so there is very limited parking in front of the house, and while there are a few more parking spots across the street, it's actually easier to just taxi or shuttle your guests in at very reasonable rates (which is also safer if your celebrations include any alchoholic beverages). Regardless, the lush back lawn landscaping, running right up to the oceans' edge, anchored by the most incredible lava rocks! will just take your breath away. It was actually hard not to turn around and gaze during our ceremony, even harder not to bail on our guests and just sit out on the rocks while the sun slowly set. Stunning arena, awe-inspiring photographs, priceless memories ... I'd just as readily elope here in hindsight. Kukahiko Estate is truly the most magical venue ever!
