Aston Maui Hill Resort

"I can’t say enough good things about Aston Maui Hill resort. When I checked in, I didn’t know what to expect, and the condo could certainly use a little updating. But as you settled in, the details matter. The place was impeccably, kept, they provided towels, and, shampoo and soap, which was unexpected. The place is very quiet, nice vegetation. Even though we booked a garden room, you could still see the ocean in the distance from some parts of the balcony. I thought that was pretty cool. The pool not brand new is a very nice size for the resort. It seems very easy to get chairs. Pretty much anytime of day. Oh, and the location! It is easy access to the restaurants in Kihei, yet very close to plenty of public beaches towards Wailea. We missed the Friday afternoon my Thai party, it sounded like it was a lot of fun. Again, this place sweats the small stuff. I even got a thank you note sent to our home. I’m hoping to return to Hawaii again in December. This place is at the top of my list!"

"A beautiful place at the south end of Kihei, in Maui. Easy to access, close to the beach. Sidewalks to walk all the way into Kihei if you choose. Close to restaurants, ocean views, turn left out of the entrance, and you are on the road going straight to Wailea. Our accommodation had a full kitchen, outdoor grill, two full bathrooms, and washer/dryer setup, very useful so close to the beach. On site manager 24/7, tour guide desk, pool & putt putt golf. Kid friendly."

"Rooms are very old and outdated, but if you are looking for a large area to bring a family or 4 couples to a room, there will be plenty of room without feeling overcrowded. It was just myself and my boyfriend in a large 2 story 3 bedroom 3 full bathroom villa with a washer and dryer."

"Location is OK if you have car. Rooms are big but old fashion. Terrace is huge. Very quite place. Pool is small. 6-8 min to Four seasons hotel."

"The manager here would make me come back. The manager is hands down one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! The other front desk people I can’t say the same about, the women were muted and cold and made us feel like such an imposition with not only the issues we had, but even things like checking out the tennis rackets or asking questions. The manager was thankfully there most of the time and literally saved the moment each time. The guy at the front desk was pleasant but unfortunately only there a few times during the week we stayed. The rooms are very large and can accommodate a lot of people, the beaches nearby were better than the beaches at Kaanapali, but I would not recommend this place for anyone with children under 4. More details below: (Reason for the 3 stars) The rooms were dated, although some updates had been done and the kitchens were nice, there was still old lighting fixtures, curtains, and it just had a bit of an old time feel to it. Real keys instead of cards so if you lose one you get charged an $85 fee (the manager was kind enough to waive ours because of some issues we had). There is no food on site whatsoever. There are full kitchens in the rooms which makes it nice, but we got in very late when all the stores were closed and so wished there was at least a small convenience store located in the lobby for late night/early morning snacks, things we forgot like salt/pepper/condiments etc. and lastly, you have to wash your own beach towels. We stayed 6 days and used them daily. The washers work well, but are small, so for 7 people we had to do 2 loads of laundry daily in order to keep our beach towels clean. Aside from that just some random details: (negative and positive) The beach is more of a walk then we thought for the kids and it is not stroller friendly. we ended up driving to the beaches to park. The pool is absolutely beautiful and warm! - but the steps are made of small tiles which were very hard on our toddler’s feet and knees and uncomfortable to sit on, so I would not call the pool toddler friendly if you know what I mean about the smaller ones liking the steps. Our room had glass tables in it which our toddler kept hitting his head on, the stairs were very steep (the manager provided us a baby gate which was so kind!) and the railings on the balcony’s have large gaps which kept us on our toes the entire time he was on the balcony. The tennis court was the best part of our stay! They give 6 balls and the rackets are nice quality rackets. The court is well maintained and looks new. The putting and shuffleboard was being renovated while we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy it until our last day, but was a very nice renovation. Lastly, we had ghost ants that would not go away. They tried spraying OTC and even brought in a pest control company to spray, but we still had ants in our room the entire stay-so we only used half the kitchen to be careful they weren’t in our food. They offered to move us to a different room, but we heard complaints of them in other rooms as well. We expected bugs in Hawaii so we just dealt with it. They also replaced our A/C that went out during our stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and the manager tried his best to accommodate all the issues that were presented and with a smile on his face. We would go back when our toddler is older!"
