Since this is the first review I’ll go into a fair bit of depth, but the short version is: this place is fabulous. For our 7th visit to Hawaii, we wanted something with wicked views, beachfront location, lush grounds, full kitchen, air conditioning, washer/dryer, and a pool with jacuzzi. Happy to report this place overdelivered, and Louis is an outstanding host. A few highlights: The Mahana itself is upscale, beautifully maintained, and very quiet and uncrowded compared with a lot of the other big resorts on Maui. Parking is cake. The view from this unit is simply unbeatable. The deck is totally private, and the glass railing means you can see *everything* (why so many other resorts block half your view with ugly iron railings, I can’t fathom). The condo itself was sparkling clean and had every amenity we could think to look for. We were pleasantly surprised to find some really comfy deck furniture and a 55” 4K TV, both major upgrades over what’s currently shown in the listing (I imagine the photos will be getting an update soon). Another unexpectedly nice touch was the digital keypad on the entry door—we loved not having a room key to worry about/lose while at the beach. Speaking of beaches, there’s a narrow strip of beach in front of The Mahana that disappears at high tide, but it gets wider as you walk south, and we had no trouble carrying all our gear for lounging and snorkeling just a little ways down the beach where it gets more swimmable. It’s also an easy walk to Duke’s for breakfast/lunch/dinner—the beachfront setting there is awesome, and they managed to impress us with their food even though my wife and I are basically insufferable foodies. I should mention we had two maintenance issues in the condo during our stay, with the stove and the ceiling fan, and my understanding is both of those things are being completely replaced ASAP. Louis is a joy to work with and you couldn’t ask for a better host. The only other downside I can think to mention is, the bathroom is pretty small. Bottom line, we loved this place and hope we get a chance to visit again soon. I spent four evenings scouring just about every listing on the island before booking this one, and you’d be hard pressed to find anything as good at this price. Go and enjoy it, but don’t tell your friends, because we want this place to ourselves when we come back. :) Aloha!
