We enjoyed our stay here! You will be hard pressed to find a better location with the condos and each lenai literally being just feet away from the water. Every other hotel and condo units, except for the ones beside Maui Kai, are not this close to the water. You will absolutely love looking down from your lanai and watching turtles swim buy! The kitchen is well appointed with a variety of cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Great knives. You will need to buy spices if you plan to cook with any. Coffee drinkers, the host provided a nice package of coffee from the Maui Coffee Co that is enough to brew 1 pot of coffee. They do not provide cream or sugar, so buy that along with ground coffee when you do your shopping. l personally packed a small coffee grinder and bought some 100% Kona beans and enjoyed that coffee every morning on the lanai! If you like coffee beans, pack a small grinder, it is so worth it! Again, the kitchen is awesome and set up well for making meals. There's a fish market down the street and a grocery store a block away to cook some lovely meals there. Speaking of what's nearby, the food trucks, across the street are great and convenient! A beach walk and Duke's Beach House Restaurant is also very close to the condos. Walk out of the parking lot, across the street and through a doorway in the fence that leads you into another parking lot, turn right and it leads you to the beach walk. Go explore that! It's beautiful! On one of those excursions, walk to Duke's, order a dessert at the to go line, during sunset, sit down on a nearby bench and enjoy the dessert, the ambiance of the restaurant, the lit tiki torches, the live music, and watch the magic as the sun sets over the ocean. Walk out to that beach, too! Simply stunning every night! Maui Kai Condos are truly located in a special place. It's also a lot more peaceful and less populated where it's located as opposed to the busier area of Whaler's Village and the resort areas around Whaler's. It's also a quick drive to Napili, Kapalua, DT Flemming and Slaughterhouse beaches. Seriously, we could not have been happier with this location.
The cons were minimal. I'll mention only one and that was our check in experience.We were not provided with the correct code to the lock box. Apparently, there was a change in the code and the host didn't inform us of the change. It was a little rough and unexpected as we checked in really late and we're utterly exhausted from traveling there. It took 20 minutes, but we were able to make contact with someone with their management team, who was so helpful and nice! Once in, we immediately went to sleep in the comfy, dreamy bed!
We will definitely miss this place. We loved this condo and highly recommend this it to all who are considering booking.
