    Peeling paint on ceiling

    Wanting to share our recent experience which was disheartening with a VRBO rental, Sugar Beach Resort, Maui unit 134, managed by Vacasa My husband and myself recently spent a month at Sugar Beach Resort. My family has stayed in different units always at Sugar Beach Resort many times, 28 to be exact over the years. We had our first unpleasant experience on this beautiful Island at our favorite resort. Unit # 134 was well equipped, the community bar b q grills were well kept, cleaned daily and we used them frequently and the miles of white sandy beach to walk daily is why we have always stayed there. We booked while we were in Maui last year through Vacasa/ VRBO. While we love the location and the beautiful beach in front and being ground level is amazing, the condo itself had a few issues. The screen door that leads to the ocean was broken laying off the tracks when we arrived, there was 3 areas of the living room ceiling that had paint peeling and handing down, also had cracks running through the ceiling from side to side, the patio door curtains to the beach were extremely filthy, the dryer put so much lint into the shower even with the vent running as per the instructions you had to wash down the wall before showering, and the bathroom sink was clogged leaving it unusable most of the time. We made 3 phone calls to Vacasa's help/ support desk, 3 visits to the office at Sugar Beach where the ladies were shocked each time for lack of reply. The Sugar beach office asked us for pictures in an email which we did. During our 30 days we were there, not a phone call or visit from anyone at Vacasa to help with the issues. Most of the issues could have been resolved in a day. We understand it is expensive to rent in Maui and that Sugar Beach is an older complex, that doesn't excuse the lack of response from Vacasa. 3 weeks have passed since we came home and still not response from Vacasa. I have also not found our review of our trip posted as of yet, warning others of the issues. Please know we love Maui, but the experience was not as we had expected during our month stay at Sugar Beach Resort. Mahalo!

    Beach in front

    4th time staying here. Best view and affordability for a beach view with beautiful outdoor pool. It's never too busy and parking is free. Every room is different and has a different view and different items in kitchen. Definitely not a hotel but more like your grandparents retirement home over the beach. Perfect for families and honeymooners who are outdoorsy and don't want a hotel style. You can cook wash and relax

    Sun set view from beach just steps away from the condos.

    Stayed here for a week. Very nice location and not crowded. Just 10 mins from a lot of places to eat. Did not see bugs or rodents at all. The grounds were always clean too. While we were there we saw that they cleaned the pool area daily. The only bad thing is when we got to the condo on our 1st day the whole building lost power. It was not the fault of the condo but learned later it was a big power outtage that occurred due to an accident down the road. Definitely a place to return to.

    Love sugar beach and love the condo we stayed in. The owners thought of everything and the bed was top of the line tempurpedic. I came for Christmas but ended up staying in Maui, moving to Hawaii unfortunately without my husband though we've stayed great friends. I go back to California for work/business but sugar beach is really great for anyone looking for amazing weather, terrific people and a feeling of the island that if you love? You may find leaving? Difficult. The management of the overall property I've nothing great to say anything about however, but luckily I really didn't have to see them often if at all i booked through Vrbo so...bonus! Each condo is different depending on owner, I recommend Airbnb or Vrbo and read reviews. When power went out last Christmas for over a day we were fine and had everything we could want but others were not as fortunate. That's rare btw, but it happens. Batteries, a lantern are a must in that case however. Only other place I tend to go back to mainland wise is Michigan so since that's rarely, I can't say enough about Hawai as flights truly are not expensive, and sugar beach resort is a great place to stay for families or couples. If you're looking for less tourist type lodging, this doesn't suck.

    Unit 321 is updated and has amazing views! This is a superior oceanfront view. The cal king in the bedroom is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. The sofa in the living room opens to a queen sleeper. There's a pool, large hot tub, dry sauna and restaurant on property. There's also a snorkel rental business. This place has it all and sits on a 6-mile stretch of sand that's not crowded with tourists and central to everything!

    Easy Beach access with a perfect sunset view, they have a pool, and their own parking garage. They also offer rentals for all sorts of beach activities by the pool. They have an elevator so it's convenient to bring big luggages. The check in was smooth and fast. Oh and the sandwich shop downstairs is a bar!! If you don't mind paying extra $$ for the convenience and a breathtaking view this is your place!

    We had an enjoyable stay for one week. The view was amazing! We were in an oceanfront condo on the 5th floor. The sound of crashing waves lulled us to sleep at night. The condo had everything we needed and the comfiest bed EVER. There were quite a few people at the resort, but lounge chairs were always available on the pool deck and surf side. This complex seems to cater to large families - probably since it is affordable for Maui and it sits on one of the sandiest beaches. The other condo complexes along Sugar Beach seemed to have less people, which I might try next time. But, you really don't have to twist my arm to stay here again. North Kihei is much better than South Kihei in my opinion.

    This is the first time we have stayed here, and now we can't imagine staying anywhere else in the future! Unit 501 is our new home away from Home, it felt so much like home to us the whole family was immediately comfortable. Had everything our family of four needed for the week and it was clean and quiet. Can't wait to return! Only bummer was the AC went out (the whole building not just us) and I felt like the response time to fix it could've been faster or even a phone call or an apology could've gone a long way, had to sleep 1 night with no AC so kinda uncomfortable, but didn't let it damper our trip, nor will it detour us from returning :) thanks for an awesome vacation!

    We have stayed here three times now and love it more each time! The condos are very clean, welcoming, and affordable. There are tons of amenities, we can do our own meals/cooking, the view is incredible from any condo, and the grounds/pool/law area are ALWAYS spotless and well maintained. Parking is free and never an issue and It's quiet (with the exception of the highway right outside but you hardly hear it). Also, how can you argue with falling asleep to the waves crashing on the shore? The beach right out front is always wonderful too-but watch out for coral We will return here as much as we can! Mahalo!

    We are in ph27 Nice place with full kitchen Needs some updates but is nice The view from the lanai is absolutely stunning Makes everything worth it The price was Very reasonable Nice place

    One of the beautiful sunsets
    Joshua B.

    Love this quiet resort with a private beach. The pool area is wonderful and it's only 10 feet away from the beach which is great. Next to the pool they have a huge BBQ area with six grills and some tables. The rooms are great they have huge lanai's to sit out on watch the beautiful sunsets and listen to the waves crash. Each room is facing the ocean and you are literally on the beach. There is a great little restaurant in the court yard called Dina's Sandwitch. They have great food and drinks and it's fun to sit and talk to the locals and the people staying in the resort. Next to Dina's there is a little shop that you can rent snorkeling equipment to use right out in front of the resort. It was a lot of fun to go snorkeling and see the reefs, the tropical fish and see the sea turtles and swim with them. Great experience. I can't wait to come back here with my wife for an anniversary to have a relaxing stress and child free vacation.

    Sugar Beach Resort isn't like your typical resort since the units are individually owned and the property is actually all condos. When I go to Hawaii I like renting a condo since it works best for my vacation style. Personally I like having access to a kitchen and not having to go out for every meal. Members of my family have been staying at Sugar Beach Resort since it opened up in the late 1970s and the first time I stayed here was in 1996. I've been here over a dozen times since 1996 and the property really feels like home. I love Sugar Beach since it isn't a hotel with your typical hotel amenities (like daily maid service or a 24-hour front desk). Even without your typical hotel amenities, the complex doesn't feel like a residency since most people at Sugar Beach are on vacation. The property has a large pool, hot tub, a mini-golf area, a restaurant, and a sightseeing office that can help you book tours or provide info on the island. The best part of the complex is that it is right on the beach with easy access. The condos and pool now have key code access, which makes it convenient to come and go as you please (plus no worries about losing the key). There also is a grill area near the pool with views of the ocean. The grills are cleaned daily and seem to be well maintained, though the occasional one may not heat as well as the rest. Over the years we have rented various condos through either the direct owners or a rental agency in Maui. The property has both one and two-bedroom units, though mainly the property is comprised of one-bedrooms. Now the one downfall of the property is some units are not as well maintained/updated as others, which unfortunately is why I can't give the property 5 stars. Some owners have really remodeled their units with nice features, while some still feel like they are in a time capsule. This time we luckily rented one of the nicest 2-bedroom units onsite (PH14), which has really been remodeled. I looked at all the 2-bedroom units available for rent and none even come close to the open feel this unit has or the updated features. The kitchen is probably the highlight of this unit with a huge granite island. All the appliances are stainless and seem relatively new. The washer and dryer also are the new front loading ones. On top of this the unit has nice tile throughout, while the bedroom areas are carpeted. This is probably my favorite unit I've stayed in at Sugar Beach and I would stay here again instantly. If you plan on staying at Sugar Beach, I recommend doing some research about the unit you are renting before you go. This way you won't have any disappointments upon arrival. I highly recommend the property though and the unit I stayed in.

    Bad experience overall. we stayed in apartment #505. Here is our take: 1. Check in was complicated and didn't let us in until 315pm; 2. As soon as we got to apartment I smelled some terrible smell in bathroom. Smelled really strange, like mouldy or something. Looked up and vent was just gross. Almost threw up. It was someone's hair and tons of freeze and dirt. And that's what I had to breathe which fan was on. Called agent and he "fixed" it but exactly the same when I came back to condo; 3. WiFi is completely useless. Slowest internet I've ever experienced since early 2000's and constant loss of signal; 4. First time I saw when renter is requesting dishes to be washed and linen to be washed, pretty weird. And you find out about it after you Check in; 5. Literally EVERYWHERE is the sign to check out before 11am. Like they really truly don't want you here. 6. NO Shampoo or Conditioner and only 1 tiny soap bar. When we called front desk, they said that's all they provide; 7. TV is from early 2000's and barely working. Overall, terrible experience. Wouldn't recommend to anyone!

    Our beautiful view of paradise!

    See all

They also offer orchids for the ladies to pin in their hair, which is a charming touch. The rooms were modern, clean, and offered plenty of storage. There are two pools, both kept at a comfortable temperature that makes for a refreshing dip. They allow guests to use the amenities while waiting for their room to be ready, which we appreciated since we arrived early. The hotel also provides free bikes for exploring the area, and there's a happy hour at the pool bar. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily return for another stay.

You have to have a car here to get around, not so in Kaanapali. We enjoy walking around and walking the beaches. You have to drive everywhere to do that here. We have been coming to Maui for over 40 years and enjoy relaxing, going to old and new restaurants and walking the beaches and boardwalks. First time staying here, we won't come again! Pros: Beautiful rooms with very few inconveniences. List in cons! Beautiful pool area and landscaping. Also a few cons! Downtown Kīhei and Wailea not too far my car and more beaches and restaurants to go to. Favorite restaurants: Isana, you can walk to. Beach club, nice staff, good drinks, and great coconut shrimp. Threes, in town, great staff (ask for Josh) and food. Nalu, great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 30 min walk or short drive. Great happy hour, ahi tacos the best. Monkey pod, but I like the one in Kaanapali best, better views. Salesman Dan Hunter was respectful and informative for our update, not pushy! Beaches nearby: Polo beach, great boardwalk along resorts in Wailea. Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, you can walk the wooden bridge and then the beach. You can walk the beach all along Kīhei, even across the street, it just isn't easy in some areas. Cons: Need a car! The adult pool at the resort was cloudy and dirty from the pigeon's. Never saw them cleaning the pool until we complained the third day. Then they tried to clean it better l, especially after our review and we complained again. They need to do something about the pigeons before it gets better. The other pools were pristine. You rarely see a pool attendant, no help moving chairs or umbrellas. Only the adult pool area have nice comfortable covers, about 25, the rest are very uncomfortable. Wore down crappy cabanas with dirty covers, no TV's working or refrigerators, not that I would use them, but if you have them they should be in working order. Complained to Chanel, day manager who didn't seemed too concerned. She did come down and looked but no feedback expect pool service did seem to improve, just not resolved. The grab and go is really just a small fast food restaurant, no food only drinks. Are room was great except for dirty floors from something they put on them (photo with stain from wet foot).

A special thank you to Shermila, the front desk manager. When the storm affected our plans, she was incredibly friendly, helpful, and able to accommodate us for an additional night in the same room. During what could have been a stressful situation, she made everything much easier for us. We really appreciated her kindness and professionalism. Pros: The staff throughout the property were very friendly and welcoming. The resort did not feel overcrowded, which made for a relaxing stay. Our room was modern, spacious, and comfortable, with a full-size kitchen that was great to have. There are a few areas that could use improvement. Housekeeping could benefit from additional training and attention to detail, as the room cleaning was not as thorough as we would have expected. The patio furniture also appeared as though it had not been cleaned in a very long time, possibly since the property opened. Unfortunately, it was dirty enough that we did not feel comfortable sitting outside and enjoying the patio. Another disappointment was the food situation. The website indicates there is a kitchen on site, but there are actually no restaurants at the property, including by the pool, and there is no real breakfast option. There is a bar across the street with limited hours that serves bar food, as well as a grab-and-go area. We received a coupon for the grab-and-go, but the options with the coupon were extremely limited. We were only able to order a premade McMuffin-style breakfast sandwich, while the other items were not eligible with the coupon. Despite these areas for improvement, we are still giving our stay five stars because of the friendly staff and, most importantly, the way Shermila and the front desk team took care of us during a difficult situation with the storm. That level of service made a lasting impression and was very much appreciated.

This is my second time being there as a globalist as my first time was probably abour 7-10 years ago. honestly a minute. we were welcomed with the same lei and coconut necklace, some welcome juice non alocholic, and wash towels for cleaning the face which is all cute. they stopped giving water bracelets and its now just keys which sucks because how do we do beach activities and not worry about things like key card getting lost? they said its part of their changes. big change is their breakfast - less selection compared to before - i'd like to say they have gone downhill since last time I been around. The breakfast menu have changed in that if you want to have an omelette, there is no longer a self-help omelette station where you tell the chef what you want and they make it for you. You would now have to order it with a server, and the omelette is not included. also specialty coffee is also now not included just regular coffee, which tasted awful. Like many things about Hyatt, and this economy, this is to no surprise. if you are a globalist, they do still cover valet parking which is amazing, the pools are a bit overcrowded when we went during the summer, and the yoga mats all smell like feet, seems like they did not do much TLC in that department. The yoga instructors are all on a 1099 contract, it seems but the people and quality have decreased because of the 2 that we met; they were not friendly at all compared to the last time I was there. it just seems like a job for them. All the excursions that were included were all booked out right when we arrived, making it nearly impossible to do anything in the property. i mean it is still an amazing, relaxing experience. They couldn't really upgrade us because it was a full house already and kind of chaotic (we went during summer July time so peak season) It's still a newer hotel and had more TLC done to it than other hotels within Hawaii I'd like to say, but for the price point im a little disappointed. Also we had found hair and among other stuff in the bathroom meaning they haven't cleaned it properly upon arrival. I know they had recently changed GM and all but for the points i used to book the hotel, and the price mark during peak season I had a higher expectation no offense. the wings are all a bit confusing and they don't really have a map guide - the first day took me a while to get in the middle of the week of our stay the fire alarm went off at 3am which lasted a while, which i texted the front desk and they reassured it was false alarm, and then what was worst was 40 minutes later when we were about to sleep they said all clear like 30 minutes back-to-back, which became even more confusing and alerting - like if we were not awaken previosuly by the alarm, we are awaken now - but other than that i'd rate it a 8/10 experience given the price point, the lack of expereince we can gain from the resort. and if it isnt for globalist benefit, it would've def been lower rating. still a beautiful place don't get me wrong but just quite expensive, but i am sure if you havent been here when it was amazing, this would've been a 10/10 experience for anyone easy.

    I love this four seasons so much. The views are fantastic, the staff?? Wow does their staff deserve…read moreso much praise! I have never been to a hotel that pays more attention to detail than this four seasons. I never felt so welcomed and so cared for at any hotel I've ever been to around the entire world. I wish I could give more stars. They gave us a hand written letter welcoming us to their hotel, with an unexpected bottle of champagne. They even remembered my favorite drink that their bartender made for me downstairs and had a whole bottle of it in my hotel room when I walked in after a long night. I almost cried because of the attention to detail, that was so sweet and considerate of them to remember something so specific. Everything was also very pristine and clean, which is something I'm very picky about. I absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it to everyone. If you can stay here or are ever considering it, PLEASE stay here I think everyone deserves and needs to experience the hospitality and beautiful architecture and atmosphere and views they have to offer.

Just lovely! Just before sunset, a conch blower came, then lit all the tiki torches from the lobby, down to the beach. The sunset was gorgeous, as was our mini tour of the lobby, grand staircase, fountain, pool, stage/lawn, beach (as people not staying at the hotel). The fire dance was on the lawn at 7pm-- it was really something! Thrilling! It was great to get a taste of Hawaiian cultural performance without paying for a full luau (I called around to all the Wailea luaus and no one offered a "show only" option for someone with a restricted diet (they suggested I pay full price and just not eat).

It's also located next to The Shops at Wailea, a luxury shopping mall. We were told that the resort was in the shape of a turtle, and once that was mentioned the resort map made it obvious. The resort is along a string of luxury hotels right by the water connected by a walking/running path. In the morning you'll see tons of people along that path. We got a double queen bed with ocean views, and the bathroom contained both a tub and a shower. The resort amenities include but are not limited to a gym, multiple pools (including an adult-only one), lounge chairs, cabanas, water slides, and a spa. The spa had complimentary fitness classes which we took advantage of. Some of them were on the beach and in the fitness room, but some are paid. There are activities like massages, sound baths, and other types of wellness activities. To use the pool amenities you need a wristband which you get by one of the covered areas. Only valet parking is available for $80/night. They also have a on-site luau which I went to although I've been to better ones. There's a chapel and we even witnessed a wedding during our time there. We also went to Nobu at the resort which I enjoyed. Although it's a luxury resort, some parts of the resort were outdated and broken such as the room signs. The room interior was modern but some exterior parts of the building were on the older side. The location and the views are definitely the selling point of the resort, and it's a place you want to stay at to take advantage of the views and amenities.

    After a 7 night stay last week this will be the last time we go to the Grand Wailea. This was my…read moresecond stay at the hotel. It started from the entry to the resort. What I thought were rocks were actually plastic looking boulders. This would have been fine but on the walkway to the Wailea shops there were broken boulders so you see that they are fake and the pond empty. An eyesore. The room service staff were great and took good care of keeping the room clean. However the refrigerator in the room had been turned off and had a stale smell. Having 4 TV's at home and actually had a Samsung I think I know how to troubleshoot problems. As we were getting ready to retire we turned the TV on and were directed to the promotional hotel page. We had no access to regular TV. Called the front desk for help and they asked me "do you know what is wrong?" No that is why I am calling you. Instead of going to bed I had to wait 30 minutes for help to arrive. The problem ended up being on the hotel end and the problem was fixed. The repairman dropped his toolset in my clothing drawer below the TV and left. Which I had to make a trip down to the front desk to drop off. In addition to dropping off the tools I had received a letter in the room telling me of upcoming service and they needed 45 minutes in the room. Not sure why this maintenance was not done on the front end or back end when I left? Now I am getting annoyed and the woman at the front desk said they are SEVERELY understaffed. The manager did give me a $300 credit but the damage was already done. Our room was $815 a night. The pool area was a circus, which I understand because families want that last summer trip. A great portion of the pool was closed for maintenance, including the lazy river. If you want a nice chaise lounge with an umbrella you need to get to the pool very early and stake your claim. So you are competing for your space. One of the days the towel station was out of towels. If you want a preferred area or cabana you are going to pay. There were some positives on the property but the negatives prevailed. The hotel is tired and needs to be upgraded. Especially for a Waldorf Astoria. In retrospect I should have gone down the street to the Four Seasons or the Fairmont. Even though I am a Hilton Honors member.

There is a free shuttle that travels a mile radius of the hotel. We used it to go to the shopping center and went to the market to get prepared foods to take to the beach. We were going to use it for dinner but it holds 6. All you have to do is ask the front desk and call them when you want to be picked up. The pool was a great find. Very clean and well maintained. The breakfast is very nice and pretty standard self-serve. Good and plentiful. Again, the staff was helpful in getting little things for the family. For what it would cost at the Waldorf, one night there took care of three rooms at the Residence Inn. I'd definitely go back there again.

Breakfast is included with your stay - it has a good, hearty hot breakfast bar with eggs, sausages, waffles. There is always fresh diced up fruit too. A bread toasting station, cereal and juices.

The ground ls are kept tidy and it's normally peaceful in the common areas.
