We returned in July 2026. Things are back to being a mixed bag…read more. The interior of our unit, and apparently most of them, have been remodeled to some extent. Yay! Apparently they got rid of the carpet everywhere except the bedrooms. We had a studio unit this time so we had no carpeting. That was wonderful. (The carpets used to be gross. There's no other word for it-- and I know keeping them clean is challenging in a tropical environment) they do provide a floor sweeper on rollers, but we did not find that to be very effective. A broom would have been more effective and definitely quieter. In the unit of us, the people decided to use the sweeper at about 6:30 AM and it was very loud. We found it doesn't pick up the fine sand that blows in very well. There are still a few weird quirks. We have an outlet that didn't work at all (unfortunately right next to the bed) a light switch in the kitchen, which appeared to be possessed, and plumbing fixtures, which were pretty low budget--loose, leaked, etc. But all in all, things worked pretty well. There was a chemical smell in our room which persisted for the first week of our stay. Perhaps a pesticide treatment? We tried to keep it aired out as much as we could. The air conditioning units have been replaced! At least in the building were in. Hallelujah! Quiet and effective! The grounds were in great shape. The pool was well kept and clean. They were quite a few kids, but everybody seemed to obey the rules, which was great. The flies at the pool. Yep. Still a problem. Unusually aggressive flies, and if you sit in the sun right after you get out of the water, you could have 100 of them trying to land on you. Not an exaggeration! I'm not sure where they're coming from. We have friends staying about a block from here and we don't have that issue at their pool. I'm mystified-- since this was our experience last time as well. And we never have them when we sit out on the balcony, even if we are eating dinner! Here is where we have the biggest gripe: the "owner update." It was so upsetting this time that I just don't know if we can stay here again. Worldmark, like many other timeshares, is not doing well financially. We were told that this would translate into our heirs being responsible for an ever increasing (15%/yr) maintenance fee, even if they did not inherit our shares. Of course *if* we bought more for $42,000 and convert our shares into the "new kind" we could prevent this. We immediately contacted an attorney who assured us this was not the case. But the whole thing just left a bad taste in our mouth. There is always an angle. They will always tell you that what you bought last time is no longer good anymore and you absolutely need to buy more. NEVER AGAIN. This is the first time we ever stayed in the studio. We think we prefer the one bedroom but, we realize this was our choice. I'll give you some information here in case you're trying to make the same choice. As stated previously, the studio has no carpeting. That's wonderful. It's quite spacious. The bed is a Murphy bed, which is the type that pulls down from the wall. That's kind of a mixed bag. There's no headboard so your pillows can drop behind it if you're not careful. You also can't really sit up in bed and lean against the headboard or wall because there's a big gap. I'm not really a fan of a Murphy bed, but it was comfortable. We also like the fact that the bed was in the back of the unit. In the one bedroom, it's towards the front of the unit, so you hear all the noise from the hallways, etc. We didn't have to deal with any of that. The kitchen was about the same size as the one bedroom as was the bathroom. The couch was more of just a loveseat for two people, but that was fine for us. So overall a little bit less living space but perfectly fine for two people. You wouldn't want to entertain guests or anything. The units are not quiet. If you have anybody above you, you will hear every step they take, and if there are children that can be a lot of steps and a lot of noise. If something falls on the floor, it will sound like it is right next to you. But I think most of us know that. I mean, this is definitely a family place, not a place for quiet. My suggestion would be to ask for an upper unit if this is a concern. Man, we love Maui and we love this area. We love the people that work at Worldmark. This place is not perfect, but they are clearly working on it. The entire owner update scenario is horrendous and I'm wondering how many people leave for a very bad taste in their mouth. It's so much worse here than anywhere else. I just wish some of these issues could be addressed.

If you're looking for an upscale stay on Maui look elsewhere. I say this only to set expectations…read more Worldmark Kihei, with its uber-close walk to a nice beach, has everything you need for your Hawaiian vacation but some folks prefer something more upscale. There were 4 of us on this Hawaiian visit and unusual to me was a decision to cook most meals in the Kihei condo as well as pack lunches in advance to prepare for our days at the beach. For this, the condo was perfect. There are pots and pans, cups and plates, utensils and seasonings. Don't see what you need? Call the front desk and it'll be delivered to you promptly. I was on the 4th floor in a condo with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and even a Murphy bed in the common space. There was an ample seating area to eat in, space to relax, and a balcony outfitted with table and chairs and a slice of sunset view. Parking (included) was always available in the lot just below where I stayed. There's a pool, kid's pool, and hot tub on-site and they're ample but not if you've grown accustomed to any offered by the major resorts. These are outside in an enclosed area with no views and no charm. I did use the hot tub and appreciated the temperature and its' ample size. My favorite unexpected thing about staying here is that people leave things behind when they depart for home. In the "clubhouse" there was a makeshift wall where people had left beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, and more. Outside, on any random morning, you might find that departing guests have left a stash of groceries they couldn't take with them: loaves of bread, boxes of crackers, frozen waffles, and hunks of cheese. So even though you've made the obligatory Hawaii Costco run when staying in a condo, you might not find much need to go a second time. Across the street is an ABC Store and a snorkel rental spot and the market is a not too distant drive from here. Worldmark Kihei was a good home base from which to explore the western shore of the island and though the drive to some of the island's best beach destinations was over 35 minutes away, there were plenty of less notorious beaches to enjoy in this area for a shorter daily drive. Bottom line? Worldmark Kihei was a perfectly fine, clean, quiet place of lodging for 4 people for 8 nights.

Please note there are no elevators so luggage needs to be carried up flights of stairs. Bonnie was the owner and she was very easy to work with! Communicated easily and anytime I messaged her, she got back to me quickly. The one bedroom condo itself was perfect for my husband and me for the week we stayed. King bed in the room and there was also a sofa bed and a wall bed so this unit could accommodate 4 people although it may feel a little cramped. There's a small patio and all the beach supplies needed (I.e., beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, fins, body boards, snorkel mask) which was much appreciated by this traveler. Kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and had basics like olive oil, salt and pepper. We barely used the kitchen but it had everything you need to cook a meal. The automatic ice maker in the freezer came in handy! Bed was comfortable and the water heated up very quickly. There is a tv in the living area as well as bedroom. Use the door stops to prevent the doors slamming when there's a cross wind. The location is everything. The local beach across the street is family friendly and you're within walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. I was stoked to have found this spot!

I thought I wouldn't like that but it really wasn't a bother at all. The beach is very nice - much nicer than I expected since I was expecting very little sand. There was just as much sand here as at the larger hotels on the Lahaina side. Right next to a shopping center that has everything, food, clothing, convenience store, rental activities - It's just a walk away. You can shop at the supermarket and if you have your keys with you (certain sets of keys) the key chain is a discount card - I was so happy that I got 10% off of my order.

The layout was great for our…read morefamily, and the full kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils, pots, and pans, making it easy to prepare meals. A rice cooker was available upon request, which was a nice bonus. There were a few maintenance issues during our stay. The dishwasher was old and appeared dirty, so we chose not to use it. The coffee maker was broken when we arrived, but the front office promptly replaced it after we requested one. Some of the table lamps were not working because a couple of light bulbs were missing. The living room couch felt old and outdated, but having three TVs with cable was convenient. The beds were comfortable, and the master bedroom air conditioner worked very well. However, the AC in the second bedroom struggled to cool the room. Maintenance checked it and recommended setting it to 68°F. It eventually improved, but it took about 24 hours before we noticed a difference. The biggest downside was the master bathroom. It is quite dated, had a noticeable moldy smell, and we saw both cockroaches and ants during our stay. Overall, the unit was spacious and functional, and the staff responded quickly when we needed assistance.

This was one of those times. It was an unusually cold Maui night so I used the blanket under the sheets. We left early in the morning and had lots to pack, so I didn't see the blanket under the sheets. We went from the room to the car to the airport and I don't carry my blanket outside of luggage. Hence as soon as I realized it was missing, I knew it was in the room. I felt comforted by the fact I left it at the hotel, bc it meant I just had to contact them to ask for it back. WRONG. Todd/Ian claimed their cleaners did not find anything. They would not let me reach out to the cleaners and even began to gaslight me and say "hope you find your blanket". And telling me that it's FACT that the blanket was not left there, when they are not even present when the cleaners clean the room. It was a vintage handmade blanket so there's a possibility it was taken by their staff. I can't be sure though, it's possible it was carelessly tossed. Either way, I am not able to get it back, and while it was my bad for leaving it in the room, you never expect this to happen from a business. I wouldn't have taken as much time or effort to get this back from them if I wasn't 100% positive it was left in the room. I'm extremely disappointed and want to make people aware that if you leave an item in the room, there's a chance you'll never see it again.

I was a little worried that there was no air conditioner unit in the bedroom, but I stayed plenty cool with the ceiling fans in the bedroom and the living room going while the living room A/C ran for part of the night. The Maui Vista condos are located in an excellent spot in Maui - very central to most everything you would want to try out or do in South Maui and an easy 40 minute or so ride to Lahaina for more touristy stuff. The condos are located across the street from an entrance to the northern edge of Kama'ole Beach I - probably the best of the 3 for swimming in my opinion. I believe the entrance beach across from Maui Vista is called Charley Young Beach .... but it is basically Kama'Ole I. Parking was easy for Labor Day weekend - not sure about how true this is during high season. They kept the grills clean as can be - every morning, scrubbing away to keep them in great shape for residents and guests of the complex. THere's a very small swimming pool in front of the first building - I'm uncertain if that's true of the other two buildings or not. Tennis courts looked fine - but who wants to play tennis with world class beaches all up and down South Maui? Overall, this place is a good pick for location and basic amenities. It is definitely not a hotel - but with the exception of a few restaurants in Maui, who wants to stay in a hotel and not have the opportunity to cook for themselves? Maybe I'm just biased to my cooking. :) Enjoy Maui - and be sure to ask lots of questions of the owners of the particular units here that you're considering renting. I'm sure each owner does their own thing - which may be good or not so good for your tastes.
