Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed at the place we chose to stay at after reading so many positive reviews. When we first got there and opened the door, there was an overwhelming smell of bleach. Kind of a good thing, but kind of not. As our time there progressed, we started to notice other things that didn't seem up to par with the other reviews. In the restroom, all the towels smelled like mildew, so we decided to re wash every towel in there. Also, the shower head on the shower was covered with mold. ( I mean , that is something that should be checked after every guest checks out.) Also, the curtain rod for the shower had rust all over it. The second door in the restroom was removed, probably making it less cramped, but it would have been nice to still have that door so that one person could shower or use the restroom while the other could get ready in the vanity area. We wanted to make a few dinners while we were there, but something told me to wait on buying food and to go back to the condo to see what things were available to cook with (salt, pepper, oil, etc.) NOTHING! The salt was a sad 1/4 filled shaker that was all stuck together and there was lemon pepper salt also stuck together and not useful. Needless to say, we did not end up cooking dinner in the kitchen. If anything, someone needs to go through the cupboards and dispose of things that aren't useful anymore or are outdated. Also in the kitchen, there was a very foul stench coming from the kitchen sink. I'm assuming people don't bother using the disposal and the food just sits in the bottom of the sink and rots. It was pretty nasty. In the dining room and the bathroom, each light fixture had a light out. (Again, doesn't someone go through and do a thorough check of the place before renting it out to the next guests??) Upon looking at things when we checked in, the place seemed nice and clean, but upon close inspection, it wasn't that clean. We would have like to enjoy some meals on the Lanai, but out there is the back end of the A/C unit which drips its condensation into a big plastic bin which looked like a mix between dirt and black mold. The pull out couch bed room was probably one of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. The bedroom bed was better, (memory foam). We appreciated the offerings of the beach supplies in the closet. However the day we decided to take the umbrella to use, we got to the beach only to find it broken. Every time we walked passed the washing machine, a very pungent mildew smell wafted into the hallway. And on one last note, the surface of things such as the doors, the knobs, the light switches, all seemed grimy and not wiped down. If I could post photos, I would so you would have an understanding of what I am talking about. The painting of the walls definitely gives the place a more updated feel, but they left all the lights switches and wall plugins the original dingy yellow brown faceplates which defeated the purpose of the painting. Changing all the face plates is an inexpensive and easy fix to make the place more appealing. All in all, I'd have to say I probably wouldn't we book staying here with so many other options on the island. The location was GREAT, very centrally located, but another big disappointment was that the pool closed at 9:30!! 9:30???? so early when people are on vacation. We had high hopes of staying here, but have to say we were pretty disappointed. Also, (I know this not in the control of people renting out our condo,) but the entire time we were staying, we felt like we were residing underneath a heard of elephants. So, if you do choose to book your Sunny Maui Vacation at Kihei Bay Vista, you might want to request a top floor. We thank you for the experience of allowing us to occupy one of the units, but I have to say that I won't be going out of my way to rebook at this location again. The prices are great, but if you splurge just a little more, you'll find a much more well equipped clean and updated place to stay. I hope you found this review useful.
