The condo overall works. If you want a spot in Kihei that is in the middle of everything, near the beach, not worried about any frills, and decent value, I’d recommend this place. AC is an issue especially if there is a heat wave which is what occurred while we were visiting - if you are looking for COLD AC, I’d recommend another place.
Yes the pricing was mostly on par for hotels on the island - the fact that AC was such an issue made us thinking that we should have likely paid a tad more and just stayed at a hotel. Don’t get me wrong - this property has lots of pros but AC’s inability to cool the condo (living room AC was not good/BR AC was better) and stuffiness feeling in the condo never quite left us.
Should be noted that the location was described accurately but the condo is on the back end of the property complex. The location of the complex with respect to the beach was great with lots of restaurants to walk to nearby. I just would have liked the condo to be closer to the front of the complex.
Finally, the furnishings are clean but dated/nothing spectacular. Perhaps an update would be helpful.
Overall, this place does the job but you won’t walk away thinking this was anything spectacular. It is comfortable but the AC issue makes it less than comfortable at times. With these caveats in mind, I’d say give it a try...
