After we checked in, went to our room, we came back down to get dinner and the two staff were arguing again, it was a bit awkward to say the least. The staff the rest of our stay was very friendly, helpful and polite. The walkway to the private beach was great. We enjoyed our time at sunset listening to waves and birds. The restaurant has been closed for a while. There were no thermostats in the rooms, at night it gets pretty hot with the doors closed and no way to cool off, even with the fan. I couldn't sleep well the 4 nights we stayed. That's the only reason for the 3 star rating. The walls are soundproof, the windows are not. The locals cruise the Main Street at night with their music, hooting and having fun- I didn't mind, but if you're a light sleeper.

This lodge was a dream. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else on the island…read more The location in Paia was perfect - tucked right beside a coffee shop and behind a strip of cute boutiques and shops. It's a short 15-minute drive from the airport and conveniently located in walking distance of the beaches and not far off Road to Hana. It was my first time traveling to Maui and a friend who has lived there for 5 years recommended Paia. It was very safe and secure. We adventured during most of the day, but we drove through later one afternoon and the area was hopping! Nalu Kai Lodge - it's not your typical place to stay. I went there with my boyfriend. It was quaint, romantic, safe, comfortable, and unbelievably clean. To put things into perspective on a cleanliness standpoint, I travel every other week for work and my routine is to check for bugs, Clorox wipe any surface I touch, and wear shower shoes (I am a germaphob and have stayed in 5-star hotels to your typical Marriott or Marriott Courtyard - you'd be shocked at just how disgusting hotels are no matter their rank). This is the first place I stayed where I haven't worn shower shoes in years. It was just that clean. The sheets were fresh and the bed was cozy. The temperature was ideal - we went during rainy season in January and the fan with the windows open made for the perfect temperature. It was almost magical the way the rain sounded on the roof. It was better than my sleep and meditation app - and it was au natural! The stone floor of the shower room felt amazing under my feet and the room came with fresh beach towels and a refrigerator. I read reviews about parking - they have enough spots for guests, there is plentiful street parking at night, and there is free beach parking a block away. Be aware - the bathroom is separated from the room by a curtain. If you are a private person and need added privacy to use the bathroom, I recommend sending your significant other/travel buddy outside to enjoy the lounge area, to the coffee shop adjoined to the lodge, or to go look at the shops. They also have an outdoor shower by the fountain outside, a hammock, picnic tables, a tiki bar, and many outlets for charging. If you run into the staff, they are extraordinary. I particularly enjoyed Suzy (Susan?)'s company. We talked one afternoon and she was a lovely person. My only regret about my stay is that I only stayed two nights. I spent the other nights in different parts of the island in Airbnb's, inns, etc. My boyfriend and I tried to book additional nights at Nalu Kai even though we had reservations elsewhere, but they were booked. We loved it that much. It was just that special. Spark Notes Recap - Cleanliness: 10/10 Location: 10/10 Safety: 10/10 Recs: Paia Coffee Shop (connected to hotel - great coffee, get a DREAM bar, food looked awesome), Kuau Store (drive down the road - great place to grab snacks, smoothies, poke), Hana Picnic Lunch Company (great ice cream), and Flatbread Pizza (get the pork and pineapple! Ask for pineapple vinaigrette).

Never Again - Roach Problem & Poor Response…read more Our "luxury" two-bedroom cottage came with four roaches the morning after our first night. We have two young kids -- this was a health risk. The staff didn't act surprised and even asked what color the roaches were. They suggested traps or treatment rather than immediately helping us leave. Only after I insisted did they refund our stay, offering zero assistance to find a new place. They also refused to apply our Mama's Fish House gift certificate to our dining bill. Truly disappointing.

I grew up on Maui and was really curious to see what this hostel was like, so I decided to stay…read morehere to experience it for myself. Overall, the hostel itself was good--clean, decent facilities, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. It has the potential to be a really great place to stay. Unfortunately, the one guy working at reception was consistently rude and really brought down the atmosphere. He was mean to guests on multiple occasions, speaking in a harsh, dismissive tone and acting annoyed whenever people asked normal questions. I noticed it wasn't just directed at me--he treated several other guests the same way, which made the environment feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. What also stood out was that he was sometimes inappropriate with his coworkers, making comments and behaving in ways that felt unprofessional and awkward to witness as a guest. Since reception is the main point of contact in a hostel, having someone act this way really affected the overall vibe. Aside from that one receptionist, the rest of the staff were perfectly fine and the hostel itself was a positive experience. I hope management takes feedback about front desk behavior seriously, because addressing that issue would make a huge difference in making this place feel welcoming to everyone.

I'll admit it--I had assumptions about staying near the airport…read more I normally avoid airport hotels because in my head they're always too close, not that nice, and I have this irrational fear that I'm going to hear airplanes taking off and landing all night. And since this one is right in Kahului, I also thought... it's in town. How great could it really be? Well. Consider me slapped in the face by my own assumptions because this was pretty much the opposite of everything I expected. The room was spacious, clean, and really comfortable. I was on the ground floor, which I don't always love, but I still felt completely secure. And the biggest surprise? I couldn't hear the airplanes at all. Like... AT ALL. That alone impressed me. I honestly can't remember if I paid for parking, so I'm not even going to pretend I do. The pool area was really well maintained, and so was the lobby. I actually sat and hung out there for a bit because it was comfortable and inviting. They also have a coffee bar and a TV area, and when I stayed, the World Cup was playing, so there were a few people hanging out and watching together, but it wasn't rowdy crowd. And location-wise? This is where being in Kahului actually becomes a huge plus. Costco is right across the way, Krispy Kreme is nearby, and there are a bunch of food trucks around the corner on both sides of the hotel. You're also in a really central spot if you're planning to explore different parts of Maui instead of just staying planted at a resort. Convenience? Absolutely. Would I normally choose an airport-area hotel? Probably not. Would I stay here again? Yep. And apparently I need to stop judging hotels before I actually stay in them. Happy Traveling, Chass

I had an excellent stay here and would be happy to stay again next time I visit. Pros: Location - right next to airport. There are other restaurants, grocery stores, etc. within the vicinity but you'll need to drive. Friendly staff - even the cleaning staff greets you in the morning. Front desk staff was quick and efficient. Spacious, clean gym. Smith machine and pullup bar, heavy dumbbells (over 70#), Kettle bells, etc. Clean room and comfortable bed Free upgrade - my room was upgraded due to status (Gold) which was a nice touch. Cons: No free breakfast but they do have a small restaurant on-site offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, alcohol, coffee, snacks, etc. You can hear some planes so bring earplugs. You may also hear roosters in the early morning, but that is part of the experience. Embrace the island life.

Not only deduct they cancel as our reservation but they gave us no reason why other than the fact that we are traveling with six children who are all super responsible, have a love for the ocean, and a great respect for all properties. When we got the notice of cancellation, again, after we had canceled our other properties., They offered no explanation Even after we agreed to talk to the property manager or the owner to figure out exactly why they canceled our reservation. I can't help but think that somehow they are discriminating against our religion, we're having mini siblings it's kind of what we do. Because they said that we had too many people on the reservation even though the place fits eight-which is exactly what we had. Now her vacation is ruined and I would employ you to run as fast as you can away from that shady outfit. They even offered to give us a discount if we went away from VRBO which we should've never done. These people are heartless and do not have the aloha spirit. The Foley's
