The place was okay. It's listed as two bedrooms, but it is only one bedroom with a loft upstairs…read more The floor was dirty. It was not well kept or well clean for the fees that they charged to stay here. The shower curtain liner was stained or molded and the hooks to hold it were broken or too small for the rod that was holding it. There is very little amenity. They only provided one trash bag and the trash can was dirty. The sofa bed has no sheet for use. The deck was not swept. The laundry washer has sand in it. The swimming pool has so many leaves that no one cleans. The resort is in the prime location, but the upkeep of the resort is lacking and the fees that were charged were high for what was provided as amenity.

First let me give you some background info. My wife and I are in our early 70's…read more We live in California, but are no stingers to Maui, and have been to all the Hawaiian Islands several times for for the past 35 years. We feel we are fairly good judges of what people are seeking so we would like to share our experiences with the Kamale Beach Club. Our visit was from 4 20 24 to 4/27|24. Weather was low 80's in the days and mid to high 60' in the evening with little to no rain... (perfect)! Ok so what are we looking for when going to the islands? First of all location location... Right? Well I have to say KBC (Kamaole Beach Club) fits this request perfectly! From our lanai I could throw a rock to the ocean... really! You are basically a few 100 feet to the water. So yes ocean view is real! Everything conveniently located. Ok now for the grounds and the condition of the buildings. The KBC scores a 5 star rating here also. The grounds are impeccable! In fact one morning I saw tourist taking pictures of the flowers on the property... Yes it is that nice! The buildings are older say late 60's but are well painted and NO bugs!! Now this was impressive! Except for a few Geckos running around no bugs... not even a fly or mosquito. Ok now we drive up to the office which is in the parking lot of the property. The office is extremely small with only a sliding door as an entry. You would think the office personal would be grumpy working in such a small cramped space but, what we found was exactly the opposite. Suzie and Patti were amazingly friendly and helpful to all our questions and needs. In fact we were in need of a small ice chest to take with us to drive the road to Hana and Suzie loaned us her own personal one. Now who does that? Amazing service! Ok now for my next request... Parking!! The parking is FREE!! And we parked maybe 20 steps from our front door. Now I don't know about you but my wife uses every bit of the 50lbs limit the airlines gives you and of course she makes sure my suitcase has to equal hers... so that short walk sure was nice. We were on the first floor so you guys on the upper floors be aware there are no elevators. The locks/keys are the old paddle type but they give you a lock box on your door incase you lose your key or lock yourself out. This was a nice idea. The rooms are spacious as most of the older building are of that era, but be aware there is no central AC. At least in our room. You do have two AC portable units. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. Honestly we did not use them for we were gone most of the days. When we were in we just left the front door open (there is a heavy duty screen door) and the back patio door open. The way the buildings are situated the ocean breeze sweeps through the rooms keeping things nice and comfy. There are also quiet decorative ceiling fans in each one of those rooms to move the air. Speaking about quiet we did not hear other guest. You know the ones slamming the doors at 2am of kids running ramped past your door. This place was amazingly quiet. The water pressure (another pet peeve coming from CA) was plentiful with lots of pressure and you have your own hot water tank! The furnishing along with dishes and cookware were aged but serviceable and, a full size new refrigerator/ ice maker made it nice to stock it up for the week. Now I did read other reviews and people if you are going to give this wonderful beach front (cottage) the white glove test it is most likely going to fail by your standards. Leave those gloves at home! This is Maui! Embrace the area, the food, the ocean, and most importantly the people and, have a great time! We totally loved it here and are anxious to return in the near future!

So this place has a special meaning to his generation, growing up during a time when people were incarcerated just based on their last name. We visited here twice. He was so moved by the video that he wanted to watch that immediately upon arriving during our second visit. We spent several hours here, looking at each piece of history. We talked story with the guides who just happen to know a handful of my cousins. We bought books, I bought a nice aloha collection bag that was a collab with the vet center. One thing that surprised me was that kids don't come here on a field trip. They said there is one school on Oahu that consistently comes but that's it. It's easy to forget history once you're so comfortable so let's not forget. Hawaii is full of Japanese Americans who probably would have been rounded up in 1942 especially if they lived along the west coast. Education is important and we can see in this day and age. Knowing your history is powerful. I just passed by the sister vet center in little Tokyo in LA. It closes soon so we will have to visit this on another day. I wonder if there is a place similar to one in Japan town in SF. Anyways, everyone should go. Remember that our grandparents faced this. Just like the civil rights movement was just in the 60s - not too long ago.

It was an amazing documentary and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to watch it. They mentioned that they are doing monthly movie showings. I wish I lived on Maui so I could be a part of that organization. We weren't able to visit the actual visit the center and see what was there, but we will definitely make plans when we come back.
