The snorkeling here was phenomenal and was better than the paid snorkeling I did in Miami where they took us out to a spot on a boat. I saw sea turtles everyday and had several of them swim right up next to me while I snorkeled. The beach is super clean and the waves aren't too strong. I rented a unit on the second floor that was updated and gorgeous. It also had a/c though I didn't use it because I liked the natural breeze and sound of the ocean. The downstairs units are one bedrooms while the upstairs ones are two bedrooms on two floors. I would definitely come back here again. It's walking distance to small markets, restaurants and a park. It is also not too far from a food truck park. You'll see beautiful sunsets from this condo. The bad: There's no elevator so I'm not sure about the handicap accessibility. The entrance to the condo complex is small and can be missed easily. The beach area is slanted upward so it's hard to picnic or lay things flat. The beach area is also small so there isn't a lot of space to lay out a large picnic blanket. The interesting: Most other units are older and not updated but ours was very updated so your experience may differ depending on which unit you're renting.

We stayed at the Outrigger Honua Kai Resort in the Konea Tower, and I'm giving it 4/5 stars. After…read morebooking through Hopper, we had a strange start because we had to check in at a different tower, the drive back to our tower. once we got that sorted, check-in was smooth. The free valet was fantastic, and the room was spacious, clean, and had a gorgeous ocean view. We had an issue with our mattress and it was never comfortable. That was the big bummer of the stay. They replaced our mattress after we said something but it didn't fix the issue. When we laid down, we always felt like where laying way back like toward the headboard, feet higher than our head. It may have been a bed frame issue. It wasn't the worst, we just ended sleeping the other way. You have to call housekeeping to get service. That was super easy and they did a great job. All staff on site were wonderful. The grounds were well-kept, and we loved spending time by the pool--there were a few different pools, each with its own unique feel. Surprisingly, we went down the slide several times (haha it's not just for kids). Duke's on the property was a big plus. They had servers taking orders pool side. The food trucks nearby were fantastic, dealing distance away, and so much variety. they're open u til 8pm. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back.

The beach theme throughout the unit was welcoming with many touches of Aloha throughout, including hard and soft coolers, beach mats and chairs, beach towels and even a yoga mat. The unit accommodated 6, 3BR/2.5BA, and the bedding was luxuriously comfortable! The open plan living area was perfect for relaxing with dining options inside as well as outside on the expansive balcony. Bonus spacious second balcony off the master bedroom as well. The property manager was immediately responsive to a cockroach issue and also a broken wheel on the hard cooler which was replaced the next day. Highly recommended a stay at Unit 32!

When you're not looking to spend a lot on a prime estate hotel room, this is a very good alternative as you can get some very good rates that are negotiable. It is a bit difficult to find, especially at night, but when you're driving up Puukolii Rd. from Honoapiilani Highway, it's about 1/4 mile on the right hand side of the road. The parking lots are very dark so just watch where you walk, especially when walking down the stairs. The decor of the rooms are a bit old-fashioned, the palm tree/tropical couches to the wicker-like wooden seats, but it all fits into the theme when you're on the island of Hawaii. The grounds and rooms were kept very clean. The view from the rear balconies are beautiful, overlooking the ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. If you so choose, you can walk to Kaanapali Beach, which is just across the highway, taking about 20 minutes to walk.

There was plenty of room for the two of us (and plenty of drawers and room in the closet for our stuff), the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were lots of thoughtful design touches that made the place more comfortable. The location - right on the beach at Napili Bay - is great for swimming, snorkeling, and watching the sunset. For possibly better snorkeling, check out Honokeana Cove (lots of turtles, a 10-minute walk to the South) and Kapalua Bay (lots of fish, a 10-minute walk to the North). You will also find plenty of restaurants within a short walk or a 10-minute drive, and Snorkel Bob's, a place to rent snorkel gear, is literally right across the parking lot from Hale Napili. If you need to buy groceries, the Napili Market -- a nice (but expensive) grocery store -- is only a 10-minute drive. This was our first visit, but it's easy to understand why Hale Napili has many long-time returning visitors. If we return to Maui, we would happily return to Hale Napili.

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.

Unfortunately, the description doesn't let you know of the 10 units in that building share one hot water tank that is located in the laundry room at the other end of the building. Which had really hot water as we went and tested. We had a W/D in our unit We had lack of hot water in the unit. It took 10 minutes to get the shower barely warm. No hot water in the bathroom sink. We hoped the dishwasher got warm to clean the dishes. We alerted Myperfectstays the next day of the issues. They said they would have someone come by and keep us updated. Nobody came by and no response received. Stained towels and cleaning wasn't great. We had friends staying in unit #107 and their dryer didn't work so they came and used ours. We've stayed many times in other resorts up and down the West side of Maui that were impeccably nice. We have stayed with this management company in the past with no problem. I spoke with the onsite management regarding the water issue is how I found out of the one hot water tank. She said she'd have Greg come by and check to see if it were a power surge? Really, no visit from Greg either. We've never given a bad review before but honesty is best. Hopefully they'll make some changes. Mahalo August/September 2026

Love the golf cart transportation. The property is airy, modern and causal. I loved the communication via text of how to prepare for the upcoming storm. The one detail for improvement is parking they have luau at nighttime. If you're coming back any time in the later evening parking will be farther from the property. The power went out due to the storm and communication pretty much stopped after that. Though the reception and main tower still had power. All in all, a Beautiful stay. The pros far outweighs the cons. Def would stay again if I was staying in Lahaina.

Lamps were broken, dust was coating the walls in each of the two rooms we stayed in, the showers we not cleaned, the towels smelled like they washed dogs with them. When I say nothing was cleaned, I'm not exaggerating, everything was dirty. Fans were caked in dust, windows were coated in mildew and streaks, carpets were coming up in many places. Sheets were dirty, stained, and dressers were missing knobs and broken. What are people paying yearly for if it isn't upkeep of the rooms? The only saving grace?? Amber who does the booking for excursions. She is by far one of the nicest, funniest, amazing individual to book and find you the best excursion. Amber should get all the props for everything about this place. Let's also talk about the pool. The pool was great honestly but there is no security to help with only having it be resort guests only. Many locals come in and use it as well because people let them in or leave it unlocked. The jacuzzi at points was never warm and was filmy and nasty. This was my first time staying here and I was hoping for much better but it was a disappointment apart from Amber.

It has a casual feel to it…read more I think they have hotels as we checked into a very tall building but walked to our own villa which had a nice slide out door which led to the open grass area. They had two different pool locations. A good size. The views of the ocean was so beautiful and the weather was just perfection. Never got never cold. We had a queen size bed and pull out couch also the size of a queen. A dining table, full size refrigerator, sink, cooking appliance, and dinner ware. The restroom was nice. It had the shower and tub in one room and the other part of the restroom had a normal sized mirrored closet, in addition to the drawers for our clothes in the main room. I wish they had an ice machine but they had ice cube trays in the freezer. WIFI WAS GREAT. The TV aid a bit old school lol. We didn't need to reach out to the workers often but if needed we could just text them which was fantastic. Plenty of parking and I loved that this was not super crowded when we went to the pool. Prob because everyone is out and about. It's walking distance to the beach of course and a 10 minute walk for us to Whalers village. I wouldn't mind staying here again but most likely I'd try a different location just for new experiences.

When we inquired about our room and if it was correct, we were told it was and that some owners of the condos renovate the condos and they may not match the online postings exactly. We were very displeased with this and this is clearly false advertising. If I wanted a studio, I would have booked and paid for a studio. As a family, we had no privacy because of this and made the sleeping situation undesirable. We could also hear the people above us every night. At around 3am they would be up stomping around and you could hear everything. The rooms are supposed to be updated but I would not consider our room updated. There was no housekeeping. I had to call and request it but our room was only serviced once. Luckily we weren't charged, unlike other reviews I have seen. The larger pool was fine; definitely not resort style. But it could use some maintenance each day because the pool seemed dirty and not cleaned from the various people frequenting it each day. I would have given this place a one star but I gave it two stars due to: 1) the front desk staff we interacted with was very kind and helpful; truly so nice. 2) our kids enjoyed the morning hot cocoa 3) the location to the beach is nice and the beach was enjoyable 4) the walking path and proximity to local spots and hotels was convenient.

It's the kind of spot that doesn't shout for attention--it just exists in harmony with the ocean, the trade winds, and the rhythm of a life that's beautifully unhurried. Mornings here feel sacred. The scent of plumeria, the hush of early waves, and that first cup of Kona coffee sipped barefoot on your lanai--it's a reminder that life's simplest pleasures are often its best. You look out over Napili Bay, see turtles gliding through turquoise water, and realize there's no need for anything more extravagant. What makes this place special, beyond the postcard view, is its soul. There's an unmistakable ohana spirit that threads through everything--the kind that makes strangers smile at you, that makes staff remember your name. Pauline deserves a standing ovation--responsive, gracious, and the kind of person who seems to anticipate your needs before you even voice them. The team here doesn't just manage a property; they curate a feeling. Napili Surf isn't the cheapest stay on the island--but that's missing the point. It's value in its truest form: authenticity, serenity, and the sense you've stumbled upon something quietly extraordinary. No marble lobbies, no pretension--just barefoot luxury, Maui-style. If you know, you know.

Hubby and I are staying here on our fourth visit to this beautiful island of Maui, and we are…read moreenjoying ourselves very much. We arrived to a clean and inviting condo, stocked with all of the essentials and even some thoughtful extras. There are laundry facilities onsite (tip: download the Wash Connect app ahead of time and load up your funds in advance-or make sure to have plenty of coins on hand.) There is also a pool and hot tub combo. Unfortunately, my poor hubby forgot to put sunscreen on the second time he went out snorkeling one day, and he managed to get an epic (and painful!) sunburn, so it looks like we might not be sitting in the hot tub together watching the sunset. Oh well. We will have to try it next time, because we're definitely coming back! Mahalo Polynesian Shores for such a nice place to stay!

This was my 4th time staying at Polynesian Shores in the last 14 years, and I have to say it wasn't…read moreas good as I remember it being. The added hot tub since we were last there is an amazing amenity, but I would not call this complex family-friendly, ruined by two permanent residents. One man lives in a bottom unit, somewhere in the 120s, and he was the biggest jerk I have ever encountered in my life. My family had a 14 hour travel day with a 3 hour time difference. We got the kids (12, 9 and 5 years old) to bed at about 10:00 PM, but due to the time change, our youngest was up at 3:00 AM. We kept quiet until 7:00 AM, and then got up and had some breakfast. Our kids were so eager and excited to swim in the pool, but we made them wait until 8:00 until the pool opened. After 45 minutes of swimming, the aforementioned man came up to me and my husband and asked us to "keep it down". I smiled and said "I know they're a bit loud, but they are in a pool...they're so excited to be here and swim." He then told me "then maybe you should take them out". I explained to him that we had a 14 hour travel day the day before and they've been up since 3 in the morning, and they just needed to burn some energy off. I was so upset I went over to the pool, closer to my kids, then he kept complaining to my husband, who'd also had enough and told the man off. We were so flustered that we removed our exuberant 5 year old out of the pool (which I regret doing) because he was being "too loud". We understand that kids can be loud, be we do our best to not let them be out of control and over the top. THEY ARE KIDS! They literally haven't swam more than once in the last 2 years of the pandemic, all they could have done was swim in that pool in our 10 days spent on Maui and they would have been the happiest kids in the world. Luckily that man didn't come up to us at the pool for the rest of our trip, though I always felt on edge if he was outside and the kids were in the pool. He did feel the need to tell our 12 year old to not pass a soccer ball with his new friends because it was "ruining his supper" Another permanent resident "tattle taled" on my 13.5 year old nephew to management because he was swimming alone/unsupervised. The rule is under 13 must be supervised, but this lady needs to mind her business, he was quietly swimming and not disturbing anyone. The same lady asked my 9 year old and 7 year old niece if they had a parent with them at the pool, and they pointed at my husband in a chair. GET A LIFE!! These residents need to be reminded that there are families at this complex, or it needs to be marketed as an adult-only complex if these two grumpy residents feel the need to target and bully kids and young families while they are paying a lot of money to stay there. We were even told by the manager our kids couldn't quietly play Marco Polo in the pool, there's literally a sign that says so. Good grief. As for our unit, #211, there is no privacy whatsoever--only 1 bedroom, a very open loft and the 3rd 'bed' is a pullout in the common area--be very mindful of your unit layout while booking. It was fine for our family, but I wouldn't want to share with friends or other family. The toilets need to be replaced, the TV upstairs didn't work, and the hot water lasted 3-5 minutes tops and our bathroom ceiling fan was coated in dust. The furniture needs to be replaced, the king bed upstairs is extremely uncomfortable and the sheets/mattress cover are extremely loud with any little movement. You have to buy your own toiletries if you run out too. There were no oven mitts and barely the bare bones of utensils and essentials needed to cook and serve meals On a positive note, keyless and contactless check in was amazing and seamless. It was really nice that through the laundry room by the clothesline there was boogie boards, beach toys and even some snorkel gear for the kids to borrow/use. I have nothing bad to say about Bree (no actual interactions but have heard nothing but good things), and the property manager was a bit curt about the rules, but professional and a nice guy once you got talking to. The pool, hot tub, and views are absolutely amazing. No beach though, all lava rock. Whenever it is we get back to the island, I'm not sure I'd want to stay here again because of the two residents that made parts of our trip miserable.
