Kuleana Resort 401

Kuleana is my favorite place to stay in Maui because it is so beautiful and peaceful. The unit is quiet and comfortable.

The view and location were amazing. We watched turtles from our patio. We were steps away from great snorkeling. The place was very well appointed with a well stocked kitchen. We absolutely loved this place, and were looking forward to 8 nights in paradise. Unfortunately, one night I was awoken by something crawling on me and found a bug on my mattress. I captured it to identify it. It was a bedbug. I brought it to the front desk the next morning. The woman at the front desk took the captured bug and took a picture of the bite on my arm. She told me management would get in touch. After a bit I finally heard back that they had had the unit inspected and were told that no bugs were found. Given that they had proof positive of a bedbug, I believe management is being quite lax. This is the 3rd time that we have stayed at this condo. It really is a wonderful place but I don't regret cutting this trip short. I do not like sleeping with bedbugs! I would have rated this 5 stars if it were not for the bedbug and lack of treatment.

Amazing

Loved our stay. Right by a dry beach and a little beach directly in front of the apartment with turtles. We will definitely be back.

Just Perfect!
This was our second trip to Maui, and the Kuleana resort. We loved it so much last year, we had to come back again! We moved a couple doors down this year to unit 401, and it was fantastic! You can't go wrong with any of the units right on the beach, but this one was an end unit with a Plumaria tree on the lanai, and was very nice! The resort itself is quiet and relaxing, and very well maintained. The location is perfect for all the best snorkel spots, without dealing with the crowds at the big resorts. We loved BBQing in the evening overlooking the water and chatting with the other vacationers. The condo has everything you need! My only suggestion would be to spring for a couple of decent beach chairs? The ones available were in pretty poor shape - not a huge deal at all, but it would be a nice touch for future guests.

The room was nice, the view was spectacular! Note if you leave your patio porch you’re required to use you mask ! They have a person walking around checking for mask, even if you’re at the beach they still want you wearing your mask ! I found it very tire some and I unneeded when you’re the only one down on the beach!

We stayed here because the management would only let us rebook within the year rather than give us a refund when everything shut down. When we arrived, the management was very rude to guest about enforcing the mask rules, yet when the residents in the condo broke the same rules, they said nothing. Literally was told to put a mask on as I was dripping wet getting out of the ocean. I wish we didn’t have to stay there, but our only other option was to pay for the unit and not go, since they refused to refund us despite being in a world wide pandemic. I wish we could have rebooked at a different condo that at least had a sandy beach, more flexible management group.

One of the longer condo shorelines with lots of grass to walk up and down to look out to the other islands and look for turtles and whales. The lighting of the tiki torches at sunset is really special and makes it truly feel relaxing and like this is a vacation not just a stop over. This 1st week in December there were many people who have come back at the same time for many year and became our friends. Great atmosphere . Nice pool and location to many nice beaches. Loved cooking breakfast and eating on our lanai almost every morning. Walking to Bad *** coffee every morning. These become rituals. 2nd time at Kuleana we will go back again.

Maui's hidden gem!

We have stayed at Kuleana a half dozen times, and believe this is our favorite location by far. Private, just steps from the beach, everything you need in condo for comfort! Would definitely recommend!!

Paradise in the Pacific

At midnight on January 31st, we returned to Oregon from our 14th annul Maui winter getaway. We spent two weeks at the sprawling and beautiful Kuleana Resort on Lower Honoapilani Road beyond Kaanapali in West Maui. We rented our usual one-bedroom condo overlooking the rocky shore. We had shipped ahead items for doing some dinner cooking, but fabulous lunches out at favorite Lahaina Front Street over-the-surf eateries precluded more than sandwiches or snacks for dinner most days. The staff of the Kuleana are wonderful! They keep the grounds in perfect order; and the office gals are cheerful and helpful. I, the husband, am disabled. Over the years, accessibility improvements have made our favorite unit quite workable. Unable to walk, I wear off those big lunches by swimming half a mile daily in the beautiful outdoor pool. It's only a short drive to Whalers Village and the quaint and bustling old whaling town of Lahaina with its shops and restaurants. We always enjoy watching the whales and turtles, coming home every year with many fine photos. We'll be back in January 2020.

We have stayed at the Kuleana for the last 16 years. The setting is just right for wheelchair use and the view never gets old. The entire staff is friendly and so helpful. We already made plans for next Janauary.

We always have a wonderful time. We know most of the office and grounds staff and enjoy a good visit with them. They go beyond job description to help.

Rented the Kuleana Resort 401 for its location and was very happy with the Condo. It was clean and stocked well. The small beach was a short walk outside past the little grassy area. The BBQ grills were very very clean which made BBQing great! Cristina at the rental office was fantastic to work with. I loved staying there.
