Maui Kai Resort

We stayed in the Maui Kai, unit 806 in March of 2008 and the ocean view was unlike any we've ever had before. Maui Kai is one of the few condos on west Maui right on the beach as most of the other resorts we've stayed at are set quite a bit farther back. Being on the eigth floor we could see whales and the sunset right from our balcony. The room itself was a well laid out studio and the balcony was huge with a direct unobstructed ocean view. The unit was very clean and looks like it was completely renovated recently, it even had one of those large flat screen tvs. Daily maid service so it was like staying in a hotel. The rare thing is you just walk out from teh hotel and you are one Kaanapali beach and don't haveto walk for blocks like the other hotels. We found the resort through one of the owners web site www.mauikai.org and even ended up getting a 15% discount, so on top of being a great unit in an amazing resort we actually got a great deal. With any luck we'll be going back soon!

We stayed at the Maui Kai Unit # 904 in March 2006. We had a bad experience as the kitchen countertop was full of ants. There were also large cacoons on one of the bedframes.

The Maui Kai did not offer to refund our money as they have a strick 30 day cancellation policy and were not able to provide another unit as they were fully occupied. They had maintenance place Terro-PCO Liquid Ant bait in the kitchen and thats it. (even though this product should not be placed in a kitchen or near children) (our three kids were all under the age of 7)

My daughter age seven was bit from insects and had an allergic reaction on her whole body. I spent a week in the hospital with Cellulits (caused by insect bites) and now have lymphoedema of my left arm (permanent swelling). The Maui Kai has not reponded to our several attempts to discuss the incident.

I would attach photos. unfortunately they are not family friendly.

Very concerned for the health of others and frustrated that the Maui Kai has made no effort to ensure this does not happen again.

It had a fantastic view, a great location, and was a great value.

Compared to the other hotels in the area, it is an amazing deal. I have stayed at the Maui Kai and at the Embassy. Even though the Kai is older, it is in just as good shape and (as I've already said) more price efficient. It's less crowded, smaller, and every room is ocean-front. Their pool isn't "to-die-for" like the newer hotels, but it has free internet access in the lounge and a game room. And if the small pool is a major downfall for you, you can simply walk along the beach a few steps and you'll be at the Embassy Resort's pool area.
