Prime location, dated units…read more The location of the Hale Kamaole condos is great- you have ocean views and just across the main road is beach access and a community gathering place to enjoy sunset. The condos themselves are dated, but with most of my time being spent outdoors, this was not really a deterrent for me. The amenities include propane and briquette grills, tennis court/pickle ball courts, two pools and fresh water showers at the main entrances to rinse away any sand. Overall, I would recommend!

We stayed in Noelani #213 for three nights, and it was the perfect Maui getaway. The room was…read moreclean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. Best of all, the beach is literally about 10 steps away, making it easy to relax and watch the honu (sea turtles) during sunset, such a special experience. The unit came well equipped with a king-size bed, a full kitchen, microwave, a fridge, and all the basics you'd need for a comfortable stay. We were also given two keys, which made it convenient to access the pool and hot tub. Our lanai had an amazing ocean view and became our favorite spot to enjoy meals and unwind. I've honestly never stayed anywhere that felt so peaceful and relaxing. While the property may look a bit dated, that's part of its Maui charm. We booked the room through Airbnb, but it's also available directly through My Perfect Stays. My only wish is that checkout were a bit later, 11am instead of 10am, since we had a red-eye flight home and a lot of time to fill on our last day. Still, an amazing stay overall that I'd happily return to.

I was…read morequickly able to schedule an affordable trip to Maui and had the opportunity to stay at this amazing condo resort and get some much-needed R & R. I booked a beautifully appointed studio at the resort at an amazing off-season rate and was extremely happy with my accommodations. Modern kitchen with all the necessary appliances and equipment; large bathroom with separate toilet/shower room, iron/ironing board, blow dryer AND a closet filled with pool/beach accoutrements. The bedroom/living area was outfitted with a comfy queen-sized bed, couch, desk and chair, lounge chair and 43 inch tv. The best part of it all was the spacious balcony which overlooked the Pacific and gave birdseye views of neighboring islands. Noelani Resorts also offers two beautiful pools---one heated, the other not, and a jacuzzi. It also has several grills and a bar area complete with ice machines and the ability to set up an impromptu cookout/luau/party at any hour. What's more, the resort is conveniently located near popular restaurants, shopping, beaches and tourist attractions. But the best part, however, was a secret path leading to an area where green sea turtles come to chill at night. Lets give a round of applause to Mother Nature for this unexpected treat. Some vacays call for expensive hotel rooms with all the amenities and outlets one who saved up for it in advance, can handle. Last-minute vacays on a budget, like mine, call for an amazing place like Noelani Resorts.

First off I give a negative 5 stars to set the record straight. We rented through Chasing Rainbows…read morecompany. This place left a sour taste in my mouth from day one. I'll start with 1st impressions which was the appearance of the unit. We stayed in unit 206. It was much worse in person than we expected from the pics. Under the beds was all torn apart like the found the box springs on the side of the road. Looks like trash literally! There are no sealed windows which let in all sorts of critters and bugs. No shade from the hot sun on the front big windows. My son experienced huge flying roaches crawling on him as well as spiders and lizards on multiple occasions. The screens on the windows had holes, let in constant heat etc. The only defense from anything was window louvers and a screen. The noise from the street at night as well as mornings were constant. Speeding cars, cars with music, motorcycles, garbage trucks early in the morning picking up on the property etc etc etc. Not the greatest while trying to sleep in on vacation. There are No TV's in the bedroom areas either! I can't wait to get home! The fridge leaked water daily from the freezer supposedly because of a defrost feature that obviously didn't work correctly and leaked down to the top shelf inside the fridge which I had to absorb daily with a towel. I cleared the ice in the freezer to stop the water for a few days, cleaned the a/c filters from dust, there was no sponges or mop to clean with which was frustrating because that red dust/clay comes in everywhere there's an opening. Had to use hand towels to clean with. I honestly think this place should not be rented until repairs are done and the unit is upgraded. At the very least some windows that work properly to keep bugs out and cool air in. Even the huge sliding door doesn't seal properly and slams shut pretty hard if you are not careful. The parking spaces are tight and sometimes a car can start a pattern of being off the mark which leads to fake parking tickets from the condo parking police. You get a ticket if your tire is on the line or over it. In one example I parked over the line on the last spot to leave more room for the other guest and I still got a ticket for being where another vehicle wouldn't even fit due to the trash bins being in the parking end spot. It was really ridiculous. The other thing you can get tickets for were flat tires, leaks, no parking permit (nobody in office on arrival), and a bunch of other lame excuses. The fun police was one of the groundskeepers who had way too much mouth and should lose his job for the way he speaks to people. You couldn't jump in the pool, play games like "Marco polo", it was considered excess noise. At one point he told my sons to jump in the ocean that was super rough and dangerous with no experience or life guards (he told them that when I wasn't there), and also told people they should leave if they didn't like it. The lack of compassion and customer service was unlike anything I experienced before while on vacation. I will never return to this place again. They should just advertise for retirees only. The outside of the grounds were ok. Not the best. Lots of bushes needed some attention. They were dying or not trimmed. But not horrible. The highlight was the small beach area. The unit included some snorkel gear and we didn't know until we opened the unadvertised storage. We swam w green sea turtles and saw nice fish but the waves could be pretty strong on certain days making it dangerous near the sharp lava rocks and boulders. The porch had a nice view and that was the only thing I liked about the unit. The location was one of the furthest from the pool, grills and the beach. I wanted to be away from this place daily because of how bad the unit was. To put it bluntly I would not ever recommend anyone to stay in this unit. I feel robbed of what should have been a beautiful family vacation.

My husband and I have stayed at the Kuleana at least 6 times. We love the location, especially the…read more400 building which is closest to the water and furthest from the road. The westerly view includes the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Sunsets are stunning most nights even when clouds are present. The grounds are well maintained, landscaped with plumeria, hibiscus, and palm trees. The ocean and beach in front of the resort are part of a green sea turtle sanctuary, so you will probably see honu in and out of the water every day. HOWEVER AND VERY IMPORTANT: the turtles are federally protected and it's illegal and harmful to touch or harass them. The laws prohibit harassing, capturing (possessing or removing), harming or killing, sea turtles. Violation of the state laws is a misdemeanor criminal offense, punishable by a find up to $2,000 and/or 30 days in jail. It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine seeing people getting too close, touching them, sitting on them, and not giving them the 10+ feet that you're supposed to. So much so that I do not hesitate calling people out if I see them violating their space. There are two accessible beaches that may or may not have sand depending on the season and ocean tides. The resort's pool is nice, although I confess to only have used it a couple of times because why pool when the ocean is right there? The resort provides several gas BBQ grills that are well maintained. Laundry facilities are on premises in case your unit doesn't provide a washer/dryer. Kuleana also has a full-size tennis court, ping pong table and outdoor shuffleboard to pass the time if you so choose. The units are individually owned, so decor, conditions, and amenities may be differ from one unit to another. A/C in the bedrooms only, which hasn't ever been a significant problem since there is almost always a breeze to keep things cool. I've seen reviews saying there's a $10 charge for using the A/C, but we have not experienced this. The resort's front office staff have always been friendly and helpful to us, same with the ground crew. We haven't had any maintenance issues or troubles with insects. Historic Lahaina, Napili, Kaanapali, Kapalua are all within a short drive away. A neighborhood grocery store, farmers market, and coffee shop are just a short walk south on Lower Honoapiilani. Honokawai Beach Park is right there, too. We appreciate that although Kuleana does seem to cater to tourists, it's not right in the middle of tourist town central (aka Kaanapali). Definitely on the quieter side, not a lot of children. The resort doesn't seem to provide any amenities geared towards kids either, so families with youngsters might not enjoy the Kuleana as they would another family-oriented place. We don't have kids, so this isn't criteria I particularly notice. If you're looking for high-end resorty kind of experience with all the bells and whistles like spas, restaurants, lounges, pool or beach cabanas with towelside service, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a comfortable, clean home-away-from-home place with amazing views, a kitchen, a place to put your head and clean up while your not out exploring all the awesomeness of Maui, then the Kuleana Resort is the homebase you've been looking for.

Lahaina is in West Maui and the nearest grocery store is about 30 min away.

Our stay was unbelievable, total privacy...views to die for and a perfect breeze every evening. The cottage is set up for those who like to cook their own meals and save money by not having to eat out every day. We found the cottage beautiful both the grounds and the structure itself. You have everything you need there, comfy couch and bed, large bathroom, full sized frig, stove and TV's in both the living room and bedroom. The lanai is large with fantastic views of the islands of Lanai and Maui. We spent every evening/nite enjoying the peaceful surroundings on the lanai. If you like animal life the numerous gecko's and birds are fantastic to watch, dolphins could be seen from the lanai frolicking out in the surf...just amazing! We would highly recommend the Hilltop Cottage to anyone looking for a true Hawaiian adventure. The island of Molokai is a paradise for anyone looking for vacant beaches, fantastic water falls and a slow relaxing lifestyle. Mahalo, Mike and Lavonda
