Overall: this unit was spacious and reasonably priced for our 2-couple trip to Wailea. We liked the community, The Palms at Wailea, but we wouldn’t stay in this unit again. While there aren’t show-stopping problems, the unit is dated, noisy, and needs some love. You’d be better off spending more for another place in Wailea or finding an oceanfront spot in Kihei.
Pros:
- Responsive hosts. They texted often to ask how our stay was going. They were at the unit within minutes when we asked them to install the second bedroom AC.
- Great community. We liked the landscaping and location and would stay here again in a different unit
- Spacious. Enough room for 4 adults to hang out and have privacy.
- Less expensive than other Wailea units
Cons:
- Noisy. We wanted to relax on the patio, but the road noise and construction was loud. The interior of the apartment is also loud with all of the fans and AC running
- Hot. There is no air conditioning in the second bedroom, and the AC unit in the living room is weak. The hosts offer AC in the second bedroom for $20/night, but the extra charge was a bummer.
- Supplies. The unit doesn’t have enough towels, plates, or cups for 4 people to use during a stay. We were running the dishwasher and laundry non stop.
- Dated gear/furniture. The beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, second bedroom fan, and cooking supplies were slightly broken.
