It is not a five star resort and the people who go to the this hotel and condo complex are not 5 star resort types. If you're looking for white Lotus, I would check another place. Overall, I'm not sure I would book this place again. It is a worthy consideration, depending on your needs. Once again, don't forget those pesky speed bumps.

(Gave the same review we wrote on the site we used to book our stay) The location of the property…read morewas great. The property location, right across the beach is what made the stay tolerable. Maui Banyan H-210...The property was infested with roaches. This is our third trip to Maui, and we understand that island living means there will be some pests. A few roaches here and there was expected. The other places we stayed at we have never encountered roaches. At Maui Banyan H-210, we were having to kill on average at least 10 roaches a day. This even after we went to the store and purchase bug spray. The front desk apparently did not have any nor did they offer a solution. We only used the oven once because when we turned it on at least 40 roaches came out. This after we had already sprayed the area the night before. This is not acceptable. According to their handbook the property is treated for pests regularly. This is not the case because we encountered more than what we should of for a place that was treated. The roaches were not only in the kitchen they were in the front bathroom, dining area, living area and even the primary bedroom. This particular property H-210 has not been maintained. The tile flooring was dirty. It looks liked it had not been mopped for a good while. The carpet was ridiculously stained and had not been vacuumed in a while. The sliding doors to the patio were not maintained and we struggled to opened them. The dining chairs were very stained and dirty. Shower floors and tub were both extremely dirty. Ceiling fan blades were coated with dirt/dust, apparently not maintained either. Furniture, curtains, windows, everything was super old, dirty, and worn. We should not have to make a trip to Walmart to buy bug spray and Lysol spray and Clorox wipes. Additionally, we needed to purchase a pillow because none was provided for the sofa bed. The safe did not work. We were on vacation and for the price we paid we should not have to be doing the housekeeping and maintenance of the unit. Everything was super old and dirty. The pictures posted on the internet for H-210 did not reflect the reality of the place.

Located "on the rocks of the bay" so you are up wind from everything. This means no noise at all but the sea. We even prepared a few meals in the perfectly equipped kitchen.

If you've decided to stay in Hana, rather than make it a pit stop on a day trip from another part…read moreof the island, then there are a few things you should understand. Hana is "old Hawaii," what it was like years before noisy tourists came demanding to be entertained with silly luau's and high-rise hotels filled with mini bars. The pace is slow, the natural beauty is stunning, and there are many places to see, but if you really want to get off the grid, this is the place. If not, don't stay in Hana, and try and find your aloha somewhere else. Bayhouse Hana is one many accommodations that you'll discover on Uakea Rd. My wife and I stayed at Tuttu's House, just one house up, for a few nights and were delighted when we entered the property. It's run by husband and wife Bill and Anita, who keep the unit clean and modern. All of the appliances worked, the view from the living room is fabulous, and there's a place to sit outside to enjoy a meal or BBQ. There's an upstairs unit that is under renovation, and occupied by a quiet local tenant. Just a few other tips before I end the review... Getting to and departing Hana. There's always been two roads in and out of Hana, but the less windy road is now better paved. Unfortunately, the mini tour buses that flock to Hana daily, use this road to leave town. The road is very narrow in parts, and the tour buses don't always share it or follow driving rules. They're in a hurry to get a bus load of cranky tourists back to their resorts, giving info over their headsets, and not paying attention to oncoming traffic.The good news is that only happens during the first ten miles out of Hana, or until the road straightens out, but that can be a very stressful hour if you don't plan it right. Leave Hana in this direction early (before 9) or in the late afternoon.

There was literally everything you could need, and even more than a hotel! Although my husband and I had a lot to do in our short stay on Maui, we made it a point to spend time and hang out in all the open areas of the B&B. It was nice to have such a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful place to stay coming from the hustle and bustle of Oahu, and us working in Waikiki where it's absolutely crazy! I almost don't want to share this because we loved it here so much, but have to share how special Hale Kiana is. I barely have the words. We'll be back for sure, hopefully sooner than later.

We've stayed in various condos, they have all been very well appointed, kitchens have pretty much everything you need for preparing meals. There are BBQ grills and a lovely herb garden that guests and residents have use of. Many excellent restaurants close by, next door is the Fairmont Kea lani if you'd like to avail yourself to a spa treatment, or a cocktail at Luana Lounge. If you're a golfer Emerald golf course and the Wailea Golf Club are right across the street. Polo Beach feels like home and we will always go back.

We moved into Polo Beach club, unit 705 on a Saturday night. On Tuesday, my sister woke up at 4 AM…read morevomiting and feeling ill . She couldn't get out of bed for almost 2 full days. Her symptoms were vomiting, headache, and very weak. We thought it was either a chemical smell due to construction in the building and/or from the air-conditioning. She had no issues Saturday through Monday evening. Monday we were gone all day into the early evening. That Tuesday in the morning, I contacted the management company, Coldwell Banker Island Vacations. I shut down the air-conditioning immediately even though it was 80° plus outside. I opened all the windows and doors and requested fans from the management company. We let the management company know again that something was wrong and they brought over three box fans to see if the smell it go away. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Nothing got rid of the smell. My sister was too sick to get out of bed and out of the unit. We could no longer stay in this unit with the odor and no air conditioning. I wasn't sure what was making her sick. There was a lot of noise coming from another unit/s all day Tuesday. Therefore, we thought maybe it was something to do with the construction and a chemical smell. My nephew was in town at a different complex. He came over to help me and said the smell was terrible and we needed to get out of this condo. At that point, I contacted the management company again to let them know we were leaving and complied with their checkout procedures. Subsequent to leaving the condo, my nephew had a number of direct conversations with the management company. So out of desperation and not wanting to ruin any more of our vacation, my nephew found us a last-minute hotel room with last minute pricing. Since we are no longer going to be in a condo, we had to dump all of our food. So now we lost ability to be in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo for the remainder of our trip and incurred over $3400 in additional expenses for the remaining portion of our trip. My nephew contacted the management company again. Their response was they would send someone over to the unit. They called back to say they didn't smell anything. The management company basically said it was our problem and would not reimburse us for any nights. I feel that under the circumstances, we should be in reimbursed for 4 nights. My sister was fine after four hours of being away from the unit which proves there was a problem with the air quality in the unit. This condo and the management company ruined two days of our trip plus we incurred expenses that we never would have had. We wanted to be in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo not a hotel room sharing a room and a bathroom. We had just lost our mother in January and another sister was diagnosed with tongue cancer. This trip was for us to have a chance to relax and begin the healing process of dealing with grief. This experience at the Polo Beach Club added to our stress and ruined our trip. For Coldwell Banker Island vacations to just shut us down and say they didn't care about the issue isn't right. Why would we incurred added expenses if there was nothing wrong with this unit. I would certainly never rent through Coldwell Banker Island Vacations if this is how they treat their customers. It's unfortunate that we can't talk to the owner of the unit to let them know that their management company is doing a disservice to their rental.

I put my credit card number down to hold the room, and you pay her cash when checking in at the office, which is her place of residence. It looks like there were 2 rentals on her property, but the one we stayed at was just around the block on Hana Hwy. The 3 of us paid a total of $130. What a deal for an entire house compared to other vacation rentals. THE HOUSE: It's definitely older but was clean. We had use of a 2-car garage, full kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom (shower but no tub) and 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other with two twins. There's a small balcony which has a great view of Hana Bay. The sole TV in the living room has basic cable. The cabinets were stocked with plates, cups and utensils. They provided us with towels but we all brought our own. The sofas in the living room were definitely old and sunk badly. The beds were adequate. There are just 2 drawbacks. First, the bedroom with the two twin beds had something in the ceiling & walls making a scratching noise. Ratatouille perhaps? Second, the house is located above the owner's son's place. Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am. You have to be out of the house by 10:45am on your day of departure. You simply go back to the office and hang the key outside the door. OVERALL: Very decent digs for the price. It feels great to support a local business as opposed to the fancier vacation rentals. The owner is a sweet elderly lady who even let us park our car at her office which was closer to the Taro Fest. We'd definitely go back.

Two weeks ago, I was visiting family in Paia. Turns out, they'd never taken the Road to Hana, and…read morewanted to see what all the fuss is about. We planned to spend a day driving and sight-seeing, arrive in Hana for the night, and then get up bright and early to hit Haleakala National Park further on down the road. This is the place the we booked in Hana, and we were seriously glad we did. First of all, just as promised, we got an amazing view of the beach. It's across the street from the Bay, and at 5:30 or 6 A.M., I walked down to snap some pictures. Straight out of my camera, they looked like postcards. Easily one of the best sunrises I've seen in my life. As for the place itself, it feels less like a rental property and more like a home. The kitchen was stocked with some basic non-perishable items (extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, bottled water in the fridge, some A1 sauce, etc.) and enough supplies to make a meal yourself (regular and ceramic knives, foil, cookie sheets, I think a few pots, a baster, and a scrub-brush for the sink). We went into town and got steaks and potatoes. Broiled and baked them in the oven without a problem. There's a good-sized TV in the living room with a good selection of movies (The Mask, Stripes, The Dark Knight Rises, almost surprisingly, The Red Violin...) and a DVD/Blu-Ray player. The couch can fit about three people, and folds into a bed. Obviously not the best bed (more like a cot), but it's an option. The bedroom has a King-sized bed with comfortable sheets and memory foam. In height, it looks literally king-sized. The thing is massive. There's a smaller TV in an armoire in this room, a nightstand, and some outlets. About as expected. I was in love with their bathroom, though. Plenty of space, a linen closet (stocked with towels), a nice sink with a clean mirror, and oh my god, the shower. Big enough to fit about three of me (I'm 6'1), wonderfully even water pressure, and it has its own light that makes everything cream-yellow and dreamy. There's a tiny window with a screen in there, just big enough to let in some early-morning air or a late breeze, but high up and small enough that it doesn't feel creepy. Definitely my favorite feature of the place. There's also a space underneath the stairs going out that has a gate. Inside are some boogie boards and I think one surfboard. Didn't test them out, but it's great that they had them. After racking my brain, the only problems I can find with the place are that they could use some hypoallergenic pillows (they had down ones), and the sink lacked a garbage disposal. Didn't really expect one. Just something I noticed. Overall, for the money and the area, I can't imagine a better deal. We only stayed for a night, but from what we saw, it's an excellent spot. If you're doing the Road to Hana, I'd definitely check it out.

It's located by mile marker 36 on the mind wrenching Hana Highway. If you're headed each on the Hana Highway, it'll be a left turn shortly after the "Aloha - Welcome to Hana" sign. There will be a white sign with Three H's (HHH) on the left leading into a private drive. The drive is about 3-4 car lengths long leading to an open shed type garage to park your vehicle. There is only one parking spot. From the outside, the house looks like a simple ranch style home with a grayish paint job. The house is built on brick stilts and is only one level. There is a bridged walkway to the home with a number lock. Once the code is punched in and you walk in through the front doors, the home's inside is gorgeous. There are two bedrooms, the master suite and the guest room, both with access to the bathing/shower room with a Jack & Jill bathroom setup. Each bathroom has access to the bathing/shower room as well as another door way to the outside shower and onto the porch. The master bedroom had access to the mosquito netted lanai sitting area, which in turn has a door to the porch. The bathing room is tiled from floor to ceiling and has a large Kohler tub, along with a rainfall shower head. The living room has a smaller 42" LCD TV with Time Warner Cable and there is wireless in the home. The kitchen is immaculate with a generous stainless range with a center grittle surface like those at the Hibachi restaurants. Also the refrigerator is the two door freezer on bottom type and there is a large under mounted sink. There is also laundry on site. As for the surroundings, the house is on 8 acres, covered with banana, avocado, macadamia nut, lime, orange, papaya, and mango trees. We were able to pick the ripened papayas to make fresh papaya salsa. Also, there is a little river that flows through the acreage. We were lucky enough to see the water roar through the river when it down poured on us on the way in. Flash flood... The home is very secluded in its own private lot of trees, but if you venture beyond the trees to the property line, you will see the neighbors... so do keep the noise level down. My only gripe about this place was that there were no curtains. I understand that the home is secluded, but it still creeps me out when there are no curtains to close in the guest bedroom as well as the bathroom. The toilets are positioned across the door that goes outside to the outdoor shower... but those doors have large windows... I don't see an issue if it's just a couple, but I just don't like people looking in on me while I'm doing my business. Over all, this home still revives a 5 star rating in my book. I loved the home and the seclusion. Beautiful gem in the wilderness of Hana.
