Kuleana Resort 417

MAhalo

Upon arrival we were met with what seemed like an escape room type entry. There was an envelope taped on the window (no one told me to look for this), with instructions on how to open a lock key box, get a key, open the gate, return the key, then enter code to your condo. The grounds are beautiful and clean. However our condo could definitely use some updating. Only one lamp worked in the bed room. The chairs in the dining room were cracked and old. Easy to replace and simple way to enhance the overall stay. The curtain in the bedroom wasn’t long enough to cover the window, so every morning my husband got woken up by the bright sun hitting his face. The room we stayed in had a view of the ocean, but to the right a hideous view of the roof top (not pictured online of course). The shower smelled. I could smell the stench of the water on my skin after i would shower. We got a “friendly reminder” that we can’t hang our towels on the rails. Ok i get that, no problem. Then one morning we wake up to a piece of paper taped to our nice rental car to not “park on the lines”. We have pictures to prove we were in the lines. We rented a bigger car, and with the parking spots being so small It was a tight fit but no need to give us a notice. Then as we left we realized i left a piece of clothing in my room. I still have not heard anything back after calling multiple times and emailing management to get my clothing shipped to me. I even offered to pay. I guess anything you leave behind is now up for grabs. For people who seem so concerned with parking in the lines and micro managing their guests, i would think the comfort and the hospitalality would be of a higher standard. But no. They just like to micro manage the people that stay, they don’t care about your accommodations and with charge you up the *** because they can. I’m sure they’re are plenty of other nice places to stay on Maui that actually have beach access.

We loved this location. The view is fantastic and everything we go to maui for is within walking distance. The condos are quiet and peaceful and has all of the stuff you need to get away for a week. The only downsides we experienced were the pillows (like blocks of wood.. ugh) and the wifi (disconnects on a regular basis when working from the bedroom). Other than those, it is a fantastic place to stay - we'll do it again. And the stay is still five stars in spite of the downsides.

Amazing no complaints except very hot in the afternoon in the front room the only AC is in the back bedroom even with the shades down. We had a blast and we def be back.

The location of this unit is perfect. While sitting at the table on the lanai you feel like you are right on top of the water. The humpback whales were right in front of us. We snorkeled from the ladder into the water right in front of the unit. I recommend this unit for a couple.

Great location and apartment. Only comment it is not all as shiny new as the very bright pictures suggest.

A true gem of an experience, in our party of twenty scattered across the isles no doubt we had the best digs. Fabulous view, hilarious surfers, breathtaking turtles, friendly neighbors, and loved the communal library. Also a wonderful bonus to have a fully supplied kitchen including condiments!

This rental is exceptional due to its location to the pool, waterfront access, and huge side picturesque window overlooking rooftop w/clear water views while eating breakfast.

A very clean and tidy condo complete with ocean view and a lovely pool. The Kuleana Resort is centrally located and within walking distance to shopping, beaches and dining. We enjoyed our stay.

A few things we felt needed attention. We discovered there was only one beach chair (2 would be nice), the fan and air conditioner were adequate, but perhaps needing an adjustment or cleaning. And the chairs for the dining table really sad, not sure what happened with the upholstery but they are in need of a recover project or replace the chairs.

Overall we would return. We loved the view and enjoyed having breakfast watching morning surfers. The sunsets were spectacular every evening. The condo was very comfortable, the furniture and cabinetry could use some updating. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of our condo and that is a big plus for us. Thank you.

What a view!! 3rd floor "penthouse" view. We watched whales and turtles with our morning coffee. The location is great...right on the water. The Site Mngr, Ty, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We also left a cell phone behind in the unit after checkout and received a call from the office within minutes letting us know.
The unit itself is lovely. Updated and decorated in blues and greens. The kitchen is well stocked, including a full set if pots and pans. The sink has a filtered water spigot. We were grateful for the pool noodles and thick pool towels. There are many unmentioned amenities we appreciated--USB port and outlet on living room floor lamp and coffee filters supplied (maybe thanks to previous renter). We left two reusable bags in the unit to pay it forward.
A few things needing attention in the unit: The down arrow button on the bedroom TV remote doesn't work...the remote needs to be replaced. The bedroom sliding door doesn't slide very well.
Other things that would be nice to have: playing cards or backgammon game; coffee bean grinder (that Kona coffee is amazing); alarm clock in bedroom; comet or soft scrub to clean sinks/tub.
We give this unit and Destination Maui 5 stars and will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our Kuleana Christmas vacation. Having the ocean waves crashing less than 50’ from your room is an amazing way to begin and end the day. The room was comfortable and convenient for day trips around the western coast of Maui. The only negative is that the bath linens were a tad threadbare and (probably due to COVID) there wasn’t any of the basic kitchen staples, e.g. cooking oil, salt, pepper, ketchup, etc.

417 was a great unit. I have sprayed at multiple units at the Kuleana Resort. The kitchen chairs would be the only thing that bothered me. The fabric was peeling and flaking and left a black soot on some of my clothing and if I didn’t sweep a daily the souls of my feet would be black. But everything else was perfect. Coffee pot, and pans! Beach chair and bogey boards!

Shout out to Regina in the front office, who is always helpful and pleasant. Also, the grounds crew keeps the property looking very nice and tropical, and their efforts are noted and appreciated.
