"Tough timing to arrive right after the bad storm. This area was hit hard and we can imagine the work it took to get all back together. Staff shortage affected housekeeping but the front desk was helpful and cheerful in providing fresh towels and other needed items. No internet service but we were compensated fairly. Good A/C in our room and comfortable bed. We appreciated the complimentary use of beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. Easy to drive out of the rain on Maui!! Would enjoy visiting again when Kohea Kai is bright and shiny!"

"This hotel is a great new resort to enjoy on the beautiful island of Maui. The rooms are quiet and the beds are comfortable. The pool is very relaxing and the bartenders are great! The Beach Club across the street is a great place to eat after a full day in the sun."

"The bad (and most important): Guests need to be warned about the insane woman who lives in this building. There should be a disclaimer on all booking sites and the resorts website . It is INSANE what goes on here . When I read reviews about her, I thought maybe she was just having a bad day or week. I was wrong. This goes on all day every day and has been happening for years. She screams at and harasses guest over a loud speaker , insults people , records everyone , particularly children. Plays piano , blows a whistle , conch sings , mocks guests , all over the speaker from 7am-10pm. she has a huge dog that barks all day and she walks around to intimidate people at the pool. Look at her you tube channel Aloha See Maui before considering staying here . While the hotel management hands are somewhat tied , they need to do more . It’s been going on for years, this isn’t new. When she’s not making noise and harassing people, which wasn’t often , it’s all the guests talk about . The negativity and noise consumed our vacation. There was no peace , no way to sleep in or relax , or chill at the pool , when we paid big money to visit here . Our sofa bed was broken , which my son slept on all week , and the bedroom mattress was like sleeping on springs . The good : the view is spectacular, location is great , pool , hot tub and BBQ area was awesome . I would come back but only if this crazy lady was gone . "

"Ocean view from patio. BBQ common area right on beach. Saw lots of whales from outdoor lounge area."

"We enjoyed our stay in this condo. The space was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped—everything we needed was there. Both the bed and the sofa sleeper were comfortable. A few things to note for future guests: the unit does not have elevator access, so carrying heavier suitcases or groceries up the stairs can be a bit challenging. Also, while the hosts were consistent with sending out general emails, communication felt somewhat one-sided. After the first night they reached out to ask how things were, and we mentioned an issue with the shower head, but received a reply on the day we checked out. We also didn’t receive the check-out information the night before as expected, so I emailed to request it. The information arrived, but there was no acknowledgment of the missing check-out details or the unresolved shower issue. I also called and left a voicemail requesting a slightly later check-out time, but, again, did not receive a response. Overall, the condo itself was comfortable and well maintained, but clearer and more responsive communication from the hosts would have made the experience even better."
