TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

The particular condo my husband and I stayed in was situated perfectly for us - within walking distance to the beach, bars, restaurants and quick drive to safeway or foodland. we have been to Maui many times before, and absolutely love the Kihei area. The condo complex itself has nice amenities: 3 pools, BBQ area, lots of parking. The only issue we had was with the noise from people staying there....our particular unit was near the entrance to the first building and everyone walking through there late at night or early in the morning didnt seem to realize how loud everything sounds inside the units (even with the windows closed). It would be nice if the quiet hours were enforced by the onsite security guard.

Excellent location in terms of walking to beach and restaurants and shops. Very comfortable apartment. We had a ground floor unit and so had a little patio with a lawn and garden view - much more than just a balcony, so it was quite pleasant. Easy check-in and check-out. Quiet.

First, let me say that overall, Maui Vista Condos are actually in a great location and if you get a good property owner, go for it. However, avoid booking "Wonderful Maui Vista-Kihei Kai Nani Beach Condos" through booking.com or any other site for that matter at all costs. I had a terrible experience in Unit 1123. The facilities were not AT ALL as shown in the listing photos. Kitchen was dated whereas all the photos showed modern updated appliances. The promised garden view was a parking lot view, pool was about 25 ft in diameter, not the one as shown in listing , curtains were torn, and I said hello to at least 2 cockroaches in the kitchen every morning. By plugging in my phone charger, the outlet sparked and ripped the breakers. As far as safety, there was a holder for a smoke alarm in the bedroom but no alarm. In addition, we could not use the fan in the bedroom because the battery was missing in the remote. We expected a MUCH nicer place than what we got for more than $400/night. Also, be really careful with the reviews. It appears that the owner bribes people who give low ratings to change to higher ratings. After I posted my review on booking.com I got this message from the owner via the unit's manager, "the owner let me know that you let a review with 5/10. He's asking that you will change it and if you must review the pool do so on TripAdvisor (I think he meant booking.com). He will send you $100 gift". Of course I said no. And I changed my rating to 4. He then followed up in his comments that I am just disgruntled because I wanted a bigger "gift" aka bribe. You can read his response but know that he is lying by saying all the reviews are true. Well, I guess at least one is.

We stayed in room 2210. It was very well equipped. It had beach chairs, mats, umbrella, and even coolers for our use. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was well stock. Location was the best with beaches across the street, plenty of restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. I loved our stay here, and the beautiful grounds.

We really enjoyed our stay at Maui Vista! The grounds and gardens were so calm, quiet and beautiful, with the calls of birds echoing throughout and the palms blowing in the breeze. The flowers were bright, plentiful and the grounds well maintained. Great BBQ area, easily accessible. The pool was small but plenty of room everytime we were there. Cool and refreshing! Nice shady table and lots of lounges. We stayed in a garden unit which was lovely because we could sit out on the patio and eat. Also made it easy to step out to the pool for a swim. The unit was dated but pleasant enough considering we didn't spend much time there. Well stocked kitchen with everything you would need. (lacking a few spoons but lots of forks) Everything was clean and well maintained except the floors were dirty. The main problem we had was with the shower, which had minimal pressure and the tub backed up every time we had a shower. This was annoying when trying to wash off sunscreen and sand after a day at the beach. Overall, we were very happy in our unit. It was comfortable and accessible. They provided beach chairs, cooler and umbrella which was super helpful! The beach is literally a short walk through the garden and across the street. Great for sunsets. Kihei was a central location for us to explore the island. We liked the gritty, bustling feel of Kihei with lots going on, shopping, restaurants, cafes. We enjoyed walking to the Oasis Gardens for coffee at Da Green Cafe - a short walk in the morning for some great java!!
