We have been vacationing at Polo Beach for approximately 25 yrs. You can't beat walking out your door right to the beach. There's also a pool on the property to enjoy as well. We've stayed in various condos, they have all been very well appointed, kitchens have pretty much everything you need for preparing meals. There are BBQ grills and a lovely herb garden that guests and residents have use of. Many excellent restaurants close by, next door is the Fairmont Kea lani if you'd like to avail yourself to a spa treatment, or a cocktail at Luana Lounge. If you're a golfer Emerald golf course and the Wailea Golf Club are right across the street. Polo Beach feels like home and we will always go back. read more

We moved into Polo Beach club, unit 705 on a Saturday night. On Tuesday, my sister woke up at 4 AM vomiting and feeling ill . She couldn't get out of bed for almost 2 full days. Her symptoms were vomiting, headache, and very weak. We thought it was either a chemical smell due to construction in the building and/or from the air-conditioning. She had no issues Saturday through Monday evening. Monday we were gone all day into the early evening. That Tuesday in the morning, I contacted the management company, Coldwell Banker Island Vacations. I shut down the air-conditioning immediately even though it was 80° plus outside. I opened all the windows and doors and requested fans from the management company. We let the management company know again that something was wrong and they brought over three box fans to see if the smell it go away. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Nothing got rid of the smell. My sister was too sick to get out of bed and out of the unit. We could no longer stay in this unit with the odor and no air conditioning. I wasn't sure what was making her sick. There was a lot of noise coming from another unit/s all day Tuesday. Therefore, we thought maybe it was something to do with the construction and a chemical smell. My nephew was in town at a different complex. He came over to help me and said the smell was terrible and we needed to get out of this condo. At that point, I contacted the management company again to let them know we were leaving and complied with their checkout procedures. Subsequent to leaving the condo, my nephew had a number of direct conversations with the management company. So out of desperation and not wanting to ruin any more of our vacation, my nephew found us a last-minute hotel room with last minute pricing. Since we are no longer going to be in a condo, we had to dump all of our food. So now we lost ability to be in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo for the remainder of our trip and incurred over $3400 in additional expenses for the remaining portion of our trip. My nephew contacted the management company again. Their response was they would send someone over to the unit. They called back to say they didn't smell anything. The management company basically said it was our problem and would not reimburse us for any nights. I feel that under the circumstances, we should be in reimbursed for 4 nights. My sister was fine after four hours of being away from the unit which proves there was a problem with the air quality in the unit. This condo and the management company ruined two days of our trip plus we incurred expenses that we never would have had. We wanted to be in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo not a hotel room sharing a room and a bathroom. We had just lost our mother in January and another sister was diagnosed with tongue cancer. This trip was for us to have a chance to relax and begin the healing process of dealing with grief. This experience at the Polo Beach Club added to our stress and ruined our trip. For Coldwell Banker Island vacations to just shut us down and say they didn't care about the issue isn't right. Why would we incurred added expenses if there was nothing wrong with this unit. I would certainly never rent through Coldwell Banker Island Vacations if this is how they treat their customers. It's unfortunate that we can't talk to the owner of the unit to let them know that their management company is doing a disservice to their rental. read more

These condominiums are not equally accommodating. I had (3) rooms for my family and was skeptical about their website pictures that had outdated furnishings but was promised a higher rating room. Unfortunately, one of my rooms was not acceptable. The price was ridiculous for what was a 2* room. The view is beautiful, after all it's Hawai'i, my family's roots. A few days towards the end of our stay, we had a racially motivated encounter with one of the condo's owner & I guess his wife. They didn't like my grandkids at the pool as they were having fun and I guess too loud so they were accused of diving, which was not allowed. They were wrong yet other Caucasian kids did worse but were never confronted. An argument had escalated between us and fortunately there were many others, particularly Caucasians, that supported us. They expressed how racist this couple was and were known to confront people of color time and time again, targeting them wrongfully. We were told 'we didn't belong' but he is on our Islands, he has no ownership. We won't return to this Polo Beach Club and I'm saddened on what the area has become for my people. Overall the property owners & housekeeping need to maintain the condos with updated furnishings and kitchenware and clean it up! read more

We stayed in Suite 604 and it was super. Clean, newly finished out, beautifully furnished and well-appointed. This is a prime ocean view unit, so it is according priced, but worth it. The AC is blessingly powerful; many places in Hawaii have no AC or are under-powered. Not in 604. Other units in Polo Beach Club may have under-powered (or no) AC, so ask about it. It gets hot in Maui. As to its shortcomings: 1 - there are few guest services. Some competing places provide morning coffee service on or near the beach, a little luau, umbrella setups, etc. Polo Beach Club does not. 2 - the pool area is surprisingly Spartan for a place of this caliber. It's plain and the water seems weirdly warm and stale. All in all, I give it a 4 out of 5 possible stars. read more

Nice resort with beachfront access and a nice pool. The building and units are dated even though many have been renovated. Not ADA friendly with many 2 step up/down in common hallways and in unit. There is an elevator. The unit we stayed in (509) had a washer and dryer that was not well maintained (mold/sour smelling). Daytime construction noise was constant and did not allow for relaxation in the unit. Nicely appointed kitchen and you can't beat the view. read more

AMAZING to the max! I recommend going here, and snorkeling near where the snorkeling boats are docked. I saw several turtles along the reefs of the rocks. Super fun! Great sand, warm waters, and amazing tropical sea life around the reefs. GREAT SNORKELING SPOT! read more

We were lucky enough to stay in #708 for a week--the decor was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was full of everything needed for cooking. Better yet, the view is gorgeous, and we watched whales while we ate breakfast on the lanai. The condos are located right next to the Fairmont Kea Lani, and on the beach trail that runs in front of the other Wailea resorts and shopping. It's also minutes to some of the most beautiful beaches in Maui. read more

We just returned from a wonderful, relaxing 12-night stay at Polo Beach Club. We chose unit #604 for our stay and it was perfect! Our balcony was ocean front with one side facing the swimming pool and the other side looking right at the ocean. I think we took around 50 sunset photos. There's 8 floors and we were happy to be up high. The unit was clean and had been remodeled which made our stay even better. There were a few items (foot stool/coffee table & living room rug) that could be replaced, but other than that, everything was beautiful. The guest bedroom had 2 twin beds. They did bridge them together, but we would have preferred a queen or king bed. Out of 12 nights we cooked 8 of them. The BBQ's are so nice, powerful and cleaned daily. The kitchen was fully equipped. As others have mentioned, we had daily maid service with clean bedding every 3rd night. We did wish we could have had clean beach towels every few days. There's a washer/dryer in the unit so we just went ahead and washed them ourselves. A towel exchange program would be nice since there were times ours towels were super wet and sandy from the beach. We did a Costco run along with Safeway. Foodland in Kihei wasn't around the corner, but we would coincide our trip with our farmers market shopping, also in Kihei on Wednesday's and Friday's. Wifi was actually very good! Not always the case when traveling. We had 2 iPads and 3 iPhones and we all had great wifi. We've been staying in the Kaanapali area for the past 5-6 years but the complex we normally stay at was under construction, so the Polo Beach Club was our choice and it was a perfect choice!! We would highly recommend this property for folks looking for a quiet vacation in paradise. read more

We enjoyed a great 5 night stay in unit 405 in July, during a hot and sticky week in Maui. The condo was well-outfitted with beach equipment (rented extra for our stay), kitchen supplies/utensils, bedding, towels, and more. The view from the front 6 condos is unparalleled (direct oceanfront). You can spend your entire vacation lounging here, and pop over for drinks/dinner at the resorts to your right and left (both walking and driving distance resorts). Our only complaint about the unit was the lack of WiFi. It was impossible to check any work emails on vacation with the WiFi. None of us could connect to it (5 of us) the entire trip. read more

I stayed at this property in Dec/Jan of 2018/19 and thought it was extremely disappointing for the price. The location, building and beach are all very good however this unit is not. My main issues (this list is not complete...) were: * Cleanliness - there was leftover buns on top of the fridge, the trap in the dishwasher was completely full of food scraps, there was dust on and near the fans on the ceiling. One of the couches and two of the dining nook chairs had dark, unidentifiable stains on them. The chairs on the patio all had bird poo on them. There were ants all over the kitchen countertop, in and around the sink and all over the guest bathroom countertop. The shower curtains were very dirty * Non-functioning items - the microwave's fan, light and several buttons did not work. Since it was above the stove, I couldn't see what I was cooking nor minimize cooking smells. There also was a wine fridge which didn't work. There was cable TV but no ability to record shows * Disrepair - the interior doors all have peeling veneer on them. The wood furniture, particularly in the main bedroom and kitchen, has a musty smell. There are bulging tiles in the master bathroom and rust all along sliding closet door. There is a tile just outside the master bedroom that is protruding up and is a trip hazard * A/C - there is A/C in the unit but if you turn it on there is a very unpleasant smell that comes into the unit, so I didn't use it * Safety - there is no in-unit safe. Additionally, when the new microwave was installed, the person who let the worker in left the door to the unit wide open and the lock box unlocked when she left. This occurred in the morning and I didn't return until 7:00 p.m. so the unit and all my belongings were not secure all day... When I spoke to one of the owners upon discovering the condition of the unit for the price, her reply was "it is high season". I paid ($1,095/night!). I have since looked online and checked with others who know this building whether this is "normal" for the building. I was informed that almost all the units have been remodeled. Not this one! And, there were several priced lower than this one. They do have a maintenance person on the island that could address some of the issues (they treated the ants and got a new microwave) but the delays were significant since he had to contact the owners first and get their approval before proceeding. However, the ants returned quickly. We had to buy some ant traps and even that didn't help much... I sent a list of all my issues to the owner a week after I returned. I wanted them to have an opportunity to reply or offer reparation before I posted this. It has been over a month with no response. Very disappointing. read more

While I have nothing but rave reviews for Polo Beach Club (PBC) in general, unit 108 was a MAJOR disappointment. We cannot recommend it. Our family of four has stayed at PBC for many, many years and have always had wonderful experiences. We've enjoyed units all over the building--refurbished and vintage ones alike. Every one of them has been lovely in its own way which is why we always come back to the same spot. The grounds are beautiful, the beach is the perfect size and location, the on-site staff is friendly and helpful, and the amenities are clean and well maintained. Unit 108 is another story however. When we arrived, the whole place was dirty and falling apart. We spent the first hour of our trip washing dishes and wiping icky/sticky surfaces just so we could sit down and enjoy a clean setting. Not my idea of a fun way to start a vacation! At some point, we figured out the owners have had the place on the market for a while which makes sense why it appears they don't want to spend a dime on maintaining their property or cleaning crew. At first we assumed they must be absentee owners and just didn't know the place was in such bad shape. But when we learned they are local realtors (the very ones listing the unit), we were appalled. It was literally heartbreaking to think they honestly don't mind charging families an arm and a leg to stay in such a sub-standard accommodation. We felt like of all people, they should know better. Instead, they're taking advantage of people who are spending hard-earned money on what they assume will be a nice place to vacation based on the price per-night and location. My 'shame on them' aside, it's clear they expect a new owner to gut the place and totally refurbish it which is why it's in such poor shape. Unfortunately, in the mean time they're severely short-changing unsuspecting travelers who expect to at least get clean sheets, a clean toilet and soap to wash their hands at roughly $500 a night. That was not the case in unit 108. If you're looking for a nice place to stay, be sure to book your Polo Beach Club accommodation through Destination Resorts and avoid unit 108 all together. We learned our lesson the hard way. We don't want you to make the same mistake. Needless to say we were incredibly disappointed in our last trip to Maui. Granted, the view from this unit is priceless, but dirty linens, a broken microwave, a rusting refrigerator, a slimy/stinking washing machine, ripped window and door screens, dripping air conditioner, worn furniture, and much more seriously turned us off. Thankfully we've been to Polo Beach Club many times before so we know it's not the location. We will rent again there, but we felt compelled to write this honest review of unit 108 so no one else spends their hard earned money only to be incredibly disappointed. Best of luck to the owners. We hope you sell it so someone can tidy up the place. It's a gem of a location if someone can get it back up to par. read more

We stayed one week in unit 803, one of the penthouses, and we were not disappointed (well, except for some construction noise). We rented through VRBO, not Destination Resorts. A small property of condos built at one end of the walking path that runs between the ocean and all the hotels, ending at the upscale Wailea Shops. This property is in front of a quiet jewel of a beach. The landscaping and grounds are meticulously maintained. Make sure you know exactly in which unit you will be staying, because some are much more updated and nice than others. The property is adjacent to the Kea Lani. Highly recommended. read more

We have stayed at Polo Beach a number of times and this is by far my favorite place to stay while on Maui. The Wailea resort area is very nice (very expensive too), with a 1.5 mile paved path that runs along the whole area, ending at Polo Beach Club. There are a few other ocean-front condo options, but Polo Beach Club is the most "affordable" (still starting at $450+ a night) - the others are easily $800+ a night. The beach is fantastic - calm water, good snorkeling right in front of the building (good spot in front of the Four Seasons as well). The pool is on the small side, but given how nice the beach is / calm the water is for the first part of the day, you really won't use the pool much unless you have small children. Obviously there is great variability in the units themselves in terms of how long ago it was remodeled and the view. Your best bet is VBRO.com or mauiownercondos.com to find a specific unit vs. going through Destination Resorts, which manages the rental units - if you book through them, you generally don't know the exact unit you are renting. All are two bedroom units, with the master having an ocean view, the second bedroom toward the rear of the unit. Units 502 and 504 are very good (we've stayed in 502 a number of times). Given how expensive food is on the Islands, a condo is a better way to go than a hotel. There are lots of great restaurants very near Polo Beach (some within walking distance at the nearby hotels). read more

If you're going to Maui, you really need to give this company a chance. They make themselves completely available to you to ensure your vacation condo experience is the best it can be. The condos they rent vary greatly in price, and features so there is something for everyone. If you want great beach views and access, they have some excellent options. Each unit is individually owned, so the amenities will be different in each unit, but each unit will have all the comforts of home. Many of their prime properties offer direct ocean and sunset views from your private lanai. Grilling on the lanai while watching whales and turtles playing in the ocean, or a beautiful sunset, or all of the above, is an experience I can't get enough of. We have returned many times to Maui and always seek out Destinations Resorts accommodation. On our most recent trip we used their grocery delivery service. This was a really nice treat as it allowed us to come straight from the airport to our well stocked Condo and start our vacation immediately. They have a concierge to help with all of your arrangements, reservations and tours and have always responded promptly to fill any need. I can't say enough about our experiences at Destinations Resorts. It is a great way to go if planning a trip to Maui. read more

I've stayed here two times. Each time has been an absolute delight. You can't beat a condo that's right on the ocean. The location is ideal as it's right by Wailea and close to Kihei. The reservation process was really easy and it's a first class run operation. read more

We rented via Destination Resorts. Expensive but well worth it. These folks are so nice and helpful. Assigned us a beautiful unit on the 2nd floor which had a lovely view of the beach and pool. Right next to the walking path. Make sure you use the herb garden and BBQs. read more
