    The views!! And even a rainbow!
    Emylee N.

    This place is great for families with a pool, shuffle board, and a large lawn. The 10pm quiet time is respected and I love that! The two bedroom unit sleeps 5 very comfortably (4 adults and one child.) I also love that there is in unit washing machines!!!

    Found this place off online research and checking Yelp reviews. Glad we did. It's a great alternative to the big hotels. This was exactly what we wanted. It's low key away from Lahaina, which you can easily drive to, but offers everything you need for a relaxed stay. Wish I knew about the in unit washer/dryer so we could've collectively packed less. The room itself has a full kitchen, which made for an easy stay with dishwasher and closet full of board games, cooler (we bought one with, not knowing) and more. We hit up Costco from the airport after picking up the rental car and had water bottles for our cooler on outings and breakfast in our room a la Costco for the week. Pool chairs and check are hosed off and wiped down by staff every morning and our balcony view of the ocean was great. My son lamented on the sad looking gym but I told him people don't come to Maui to hit the gym. What I didn't like was the the rooms had no shampoo, and front desk wasn't helpful on that. But that is a minor hiccup. Easier to make a run to Target but harder with a couple kids in tow, or a larger group, when you're trying not to double back, etc. Will definitely come back to stay again in the future.

    Don't stay in 115B! Missing tiles in the bathroom. Mold already growing in the walls. V-trips doesn't care they know the property is nice and it's hard to get another place. Guess is 114b has mold already. Maybe even 215b since it's below it. Would advise against all those. Condo is outdated. But the pool crew and landscaping crew work hard I'd say that.

    Urine stained bedding

    There are Pros and Cons to the Maui Sunset yet fundamental to any condo hotel or timeshare in maui is having clean bedding free from previous guest urine, sweat, and even blood stains. After three days we decided to wash the sheets in the master bedroom and the pull out couch and we were disgusted by housekeeping and management allowing the urine and sweat stained pillows and mattress covers to remain on the beds after multiple guests stay. We asked for clean pillows and bedding and they couldn't accommodate until the next day. If you stay here because of the central location please look at your actual pillows and your mattress and I hope you find a cleaner experience.

    Amazing Condo. Just Beautiful Grounds & well maintained. Centrally located in Kihei. Great Rooms Great Pool. Free Parking. Walk to the beach in 2 minutes. I will definitely be back here soon. The Best affordable Condo ! BBQ Grills cleaned everyday. We cooked almost all our own food on our vacation saving a ton of $$$. I love Maui Sunset. And you will Too. Aloha Nui Loa

    I've been coming to Maui and staying at the Maui Sunset for as long as I can remember. Mainly because my grandmother loves this place and is partial owner of a timeshare. This place offers the perfect low key getaway with a very nice quiet island vibe. The interior of the rooms are very spacious. The showers are a bit small and the living room can use a bit of upgrading. The facilities are great. Nice gym, tennis court and pool areas. Most importantly, a well maintained lawn on the whole property makes it nice to walk all the way out to the beach with no shoes needed. Did I mention the sunsets are pure gold here! Take a look!

    We stayed in a two bed and restroom for a family of four for five days. The rooms have starting kitchen supplies with in unit washer and dryer. Plenty of parking with location great spot on the beach with shore access. Also walking distance or short drive to nearby grocery store and restaurant. My family was able to wake up with beach view and sunsets on clear days. The facility has pool access which is clean and disinfect daily with different outdoor games to rent on site. You access to outside showers when you walk the beach or the pool area. Overall would recommend this place and location to friends. Your location is middle of Maui with twenty minutes drive to OGG airport with driving distance to other activities in Maui has to offer.

    Four of us (two couples) stayed for a week at Maui Sunset. There was a lot to like about it and a few things that could certainly make a stay five stars. **Condo good: The condo was nice. The kitchen had been upgraded with new countertops and stainless steel appliances. Everything in the kitchen was great. The washer and dryer were clean and worked great. There were plenty of beach toys/supplies for us to use. The TV in the living room was a Smart TV. The small "gym" on the first floor was serviceable. **Condo bad: No TV in the 2nd bedroom. There were six patio chairs, but only two had cushions. No soap in either shower, only hand soap for the sinks. A/C units were all on 4 hour timers. Although we found some clever work-arounds to keep them on longer (wink, wink). Not nearly enough toilet paper was supplied for four adults for a seven day stay. New mattresses in both bedrooms and the murphy bed are needed soon. Our balcony offered a better view of the street than the ocean, but not all of the units can be ocean front. **The Grounds/Pool: Excellent. The grounds crew were constantly working to keep everything in pristine condition. Six community Weber gas BBQs were a great amenity and kept very clean. The pool/hot tub area was kept immaculate by the hard working crew. The water was always perfectly warm and sparkling blue. The bathrooms at the pool area were always spotless. Tennis courts and shuffleboard were very well kept also. The beach is just a short stroll across the grass. The complex is located within walking distance of a few restaurants and bars and the quaint Kihei Craft Fair. A $5 or $6 Uber can take you to even more. The sunsets are epic!! All things considered, the four of us were quite pleased with our accommodations. (Add that TV to the 2nd bedroom).

    The view from our 3rd floor balcony was about the only nice thing about this place. That's sad considering we were told we upgraded to a better space (not sure why...perhaps overbooking of 1st/2nd floor spaces). First, the place was not clean...looks like only a quick cleaning is ever done as you can see buildup of dirt and gunk all over. The floor had several stains, dishes in the cabinets were not clean, the fridge and freezer were also dirty. The sheets were clean, but one had a hole in it. We saw bugs inside daily. Ants and several different critters were spotted and killed on a daily basis. The balcony furniture is also very run down. The chairs were stacked left inside for some reason. When moving outside and unstacking, I noticed one was heavily damaged and probably would have collapsed if I'd sat on it! All of the chairs had significant wear, with jagged edges showing. It was obvious that this was known to the owners as there was duct tape applied at one point to try to cover it up! An odd thing with the washer and dryer was that the washer was about half the size of the dryer (don't forget to buy your laundry detergent). You also can't use the washing machine when you are not there due to property policy, but the washer is ridiculously loud! So don't count on watching tv or taking a nap/siesta and washing a hiking clothes from the morning. Lastly, the air conditioners are plugged into outlet timers. Unfortunately, these timers last only 4 hours. This becomes a problem at night and early morning as the A/C shuts off and the bedroom heats up, causing us to wake up in a pool of sweat! The A/C was also the only thing to drown out the noise, as our 'upgraded' room was next to an exit door and trash shoot and a family of chickens on the other side of the parking lot. Been to Kihei 3 times, this was easily the worst.

    I would give this place a 5 star but on our checkout day the cleaning people rushed us. We had a late checkout 12 which didn't get noted. Cleaning people came at 10:30. Waited for us to leave. Was awkward. But overall we loved our stay. The pool stays open late which my kids loved. Wake up and walk to the beach. We saw turtles and beautiful sunsets. We are a family of 6 and were comfortable in the unit. Definitely would go back and stay of given the chance

    We enjoyed our stay at the Maui Sunset. I'd say it comes out as a solid 3 for us based on the unit we were in. Our unit was somewhat dated, but it was nice to have a closet full of things you might want to take to the beach (like chairs, coolers, a boogy board...obviously this would vary by unit). Each unit has a private balcony and also washer and dryer, which was great. The grounds are very well maintained with grills available and a very nice pool and hot tub. There is also a small gym and tennis courts available. Parking is free and the property does have a beach, although it gets a lot of wind. As the name of the property implies, you can witness some beautiful sunsets. We were very close to stores as well as some nice snorkeling and swimming beaches. If returning to Kihei we would definitely stay here again.

    Very rocky beach...

    Found a great deal on Orbitz with a 20% off coupon ($854/total for 4 nights) for a Premium 1 bedroom with a partial ocean view. (We booked 2-3 months in advance) Super spacious with a great view of the BBQ area and ocean to our right. The grounds are impeccably clean and lots of friendly retired folks enjoying their well-deserved rest. Quiet and very comfortable with plenty of parking and a great location. We used the full kitchen one night to prepare steaks and found it very convenient to have plenty of pans, kitchen utensils, plates and silverware. We just needed to bring our own oil, butter, etc. Also appreciated all of the beach and shower towels available. We went down to the beach for a swim but the sand was super rocky and painful so we settled for the pool, which was fantastic. I don't think the beach here is meant for swimming... The staff is also very accommodating. We were able to do late check out with no problem. Overall, highly recommend! Note: If you're checking in on a weekend, don't freak out that the office isn't open. There are pay phones to the left of the office with instructions on how to check in and lock boxes with keys to rooms. Yeah... I freaked out... :-/

    Loved it here! Unit 421A view from balcony

Upon entering the lobby, the staff greeted us and we found them friendly and professional. We received refreshing face towels, aluminum water bottles and digital wrist bands upon check-in to the new Kai Tower. The lobby in the Kai Tower had a water machine to fill our bottles. We loved using it upon leaving for our day's adventure and again when returning to our room. We found our room to be spacious and clean. A large seating area ran along the wall across from the bed with many large drawers underneath. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked perfectly. We found the room sufficiently quiet and slept peacefully. The bar and pool areas were very nice and had a fun vibe with live music every night. If you like a hotel with a local feel, with close access to beaches and excellent local dining and shopping, I highly recommend Maui Coast Hotel.

Cons: small fitness center, no water in fitness center or filler stations anywhere on premise, pool across the street requires a separate key card that must be checked in and out each day, pool gates are locked until pool opens which forces you to walk around the entire property to get to places like the lobby or fitness center early, limited/no special events like live music, activities, etc. jacuzzis where down for maintenance throughout the duration of our trip.

They have a long kitchen table with a functional kitchen that opens up to the living room and balcony. The balcony only faces another building so there's not much to see out there. The room also has a spacious bedroom. The bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was really nice too. They provide body soap, shampoo and conditioner. It was amazing to see a bidet in the bathroom. That was the highlight of my husband's trip lol. He couldn't stop talking about it. The grounds are beautiful, day and night. There's a fire pit, cabanas with tvs, large seating area to gather with friends. There are several pools. The pool is pretty cold for my liking. There's one with a waterfall another with a waterslide. They have hot tubs. There's also a "beachfront "pool. You need a key from the towel hut in order to access. We went but seen a lot of kids in it. It is surrounded by bushes so it feels private. Can't enjoy the ocean from it. I will see there is a small little beach where we sat and enjoyed the sunset. It felt like the most beautiful and private sunset ever! In that area there's also a restaurant But we didn't get to try it. The hotel, even though it's updated and gorgeous, It was a little too quiet. We went to the bar and that was pretty sleepy on its own. I understand they are still building so I would suggested on site restaurant and some lively music. Overall great stay.

Breakfast buffet was good enough, but inconsistent and nothing exciting. Veggie fried rice was really good the first day, but lacked flavor the next day. Longans were a nice touch, but wasn't available every day (and no other specialty fruit replacement out of the ordinary selection).

This place has absolutely no business carrying the Waldorf Astoria name, and after staying here, I can confidently say it falls woefully short of every standard that brand is supposed to represent. Rude, Dismissive Staff (Especially by the Pools) The pool staff were some of the rudest hospitality workers I've ever encountered. Curt, condescending, and openly impatient with guests who dared to ask basic questions. There is no warmth, no service mindset, no sense that you--the paying guest--matter. For a resort charging premium pricing, the attitude from staff is genuinely shocking. Overcrowding Like You Wouldn't Believe The pool areas are wildly overcrowded. It feels less like a luxury resort and more like a packed public water park. Good luck finding a chair, walking a path without bumping into someone, or actually enjoying the pools you're paying a fortune to use. Towel Rationing at a "Luxury" Resort They actually limit towels. Let that sink in--you're paying Waldorf Astoria prices and being rationed pool towels like it's a budget motel. Absurd. Chairs Flipped So Fast You Can't Even Eat Breakfast If you leave your chair to grab breakfast, use the restroom, or do literally any activity the resort itself offers, expect to come back to find your spot has been given away. The turnover policy is so aggressive that enjoying the rest of the resort becomes impossible. You're essentially chained to a lounger if you want to keep one. Lost and Stolen Items Because Staff Removed Belongings This is the worst part. Leave your chair for more than an hour and staff will physically remove your items. We lost personal belongings because of this policy. Not misplaced--removed by staff and never recovered. At a Waldorf. Unbelievable. Hundreds of Dollars Just for a Beach Chair You read that right. They charge HUNDREDS of dollars for a beach chair. Which begs the obvious question: what exactly is the daily resort fee covering if not the most basic amenity at a beach resort? It's nickel-and-diming taken to a level I've never seen at any property at this price point. Cabanas Auctioned Off on a Secondary Market This might be the most outrageous part of the entire experience. Cabanas are essentially auctioned off on a secondary market. Some other guest bought the cabana a year earlier, and now existing guests of the resort have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to that person just to use a cabana by the pool of the hotel they're already staying at. It's predatory, dystopian, and completely antithetical to the idea of luxury hospitality. Bottom Line This hotel is wildly overpriced and genuinely awful. It does not meet--nor even approach--the standards expected of a Waldorf Astoria property. The Waldorf name on this building is a disservice to the brand and a trap for unsuspecting guests who think they're booking a luxury experience. Never again. Walk next door to the Four Seasons. It is night and day across the board--service, atmosphere, value, every single category. Don't make the mistake we did.

    We do not recommend staying at this hotel for the following reasons;…read more 1). Front desk staff had an awful attitude when we asked questions and /or say hello, good morning etc. SPECIALLY THE TALL WOMAN WITH LONG HAIR (a local) you could tell she hated every guest. Everyone who's not from the island. We had no other choice lady! our company sent us there. we went there to work not to stay there forever. Also the other local women working in the front desk were very Apathetic/rude. In contrast the other staff who weren't locals were very polite and welcoming. 2). Rooms. The carpet is extremely filthy (wear flip flops otherwise your feet will be pitch black from the dirt ) our room was cleaned very late in the afternoon almost every day. Some days it was cleaned very well in the morning but when it was done in the afternoon, it wasn't clean well. No kitchen counters were cleaned, rug was not vacuumed and the shower had dirt on it, PUBIC HAIR! And on the sink counter as well. Very gross. Also the bed wasn't even made properly. 3). Noise! Walls are very thin. We could hear people screaming, laughing, slamming doors you name it! The good: The staff in the restaurant area were very lovely. The breakfast buffet was pretty good To the ladies or managers or whoever is putting a blind eye on how front desk staff is treating guests, you don't have the right to be disrespectful. If you can't stand/tolerate people who's not from your community, don't work on hospitality. Don't work for the industry that's bringing /welcoming people from all over the world. There's more to learn and see beyond your island. We come from a country/community that respects other people, cultures and will welcome you with open arms and respect. Don't hate us. Instead, focus your energy towards organizing and fighting the rich and powerful who are the real villains for taking away your land.

    We stayed here right after the Lahaina fires so the hotel was fairly empty. The staff could not…read morehave been more welcoming and gracious. I initially planned on canceling our trip, but the hotel asked that we still come since they needed the business. I just didn't want to be in the way, but Lahaina is far away so we had no impact. It's a beautiful, huge resort with a great deal of amenities to include outdoor grills, basketball court, tennis courts, pool, etc. The onsite bar and restaurant is also very nice. It's in a great location near the center of Wailea and close to Kihei so it makes for easy travel. Love our stay here.

    Anniversary trip and first time staying at the Fairmont; glad it was at this location. For context,…read morehusband and I walked into and toured all the resorts along the wailea beach path and agree that Fairmont was #1 based on our preferences (yes, even compared to Four Seasons based on overview of pool amenities haha). Although the only other resorts I actually stayed at were Andaz and Wailea Beach Resort Marriott. Reason being that rooms are exceptional (all suites) and I highly recommend upgrading to ocean view if possible. They have prime real estate directly facing the sunset, making each night so memorable. For amenities, pools are more spread out and does not feel as claustrophobic compared to Four Seasons in my opinion. I'd choose Fairmont again for our next trip. Special shout out to the housekeeper going above and beyond who shapes our lei into a heart each time they tidy our place. This person deserves a raise/promotion. Barry the manager at the hotel breakfast buffet also feels like family; just so warm and friendly. Also deserves a raise or promotion.

    Our stay at Fairmont Kea Lani had some positive moments thanks to Luz, Dani, the bell team, and the…read morekind staff at Ko Restaurant and Pilina Bar. However, the overall experience was disappointing and stressful, especially given the circumstances of our trip. This was my children's first real vacation, and we were celebrating two birthdays (mine and my 8 year old daughter) which the hotel was aware of in advance. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgment at all -- not even a small gesture like a cookie or note, which was surprising for a luxury family resort that promotes personalized guest experiences. We were traveling with three children (one on crutches) and a medically fragile senior with mobility limitations, yet staff did not provide meaningful assistance coordinating accessible airport transportation, forcing us to rely on Uber to make our flight home. The front desk only consistently made me aware of how expensive transportation costs were, as if I could not afford it! I was highly offended. Why would I vacation in Wailea if I can't afford to go to the airport? Why even bring that up? On our departure day, we requested a hospitality suite so our family could shower before a evening flight. Multiple staff members incorrectly told us no such option existed and suggested we use public outdoor beach showers where kids wash their feet off, which is not appropriate for children or an elderly disabled guest. Another staff member suggested that I purchase a spa pass for $75 per person to shower before our flight, but said the children could not shower there. Only after repeatedly asking multiple front desk employees, did Luz, my saving grace, who obviously has common sense, arranged our access to a hospitality suite at the last minute. I was charged $350 for the hospitality suite, but I appreciate her professionalism.
