Kamaole Nalu Oceanfront Resort 2450 South Kihei Road, Kihei, HI 96753

"Pros: Decent location in Kihei right next to Kamaole Beach II, directly across the street from Whaler’s general store, Coconuts restaurant and other shops, 15-20 minutes away from OGG airport and lastly an awesome view of the sunset at the rear area of property. Cons: Building is dated, staff is rarely ever onsite, 1 small pool, 1 small and slow elevator, no luggage cart (for disabled folks in need of assistance), no A/C, parking is a ridiculous joke - especially if you’re in an SUV or pickup. They have 6-7 spaces designated for vehicles other than compact ones, and they’re suitable for an economy/full sized car…so good luck. Additionally, the unit that we stayed in was dusty, dirty and moldy. It had roaches and tiny ants in every room. I’m sure that some units may be nicer, but any unit near the elevator is subject to repugnant odors emanating from the trash chute, especially when trash is removed. Close those windows in the living area, otherwise you’ll throw up!! It was pretty rancid. If I were homeless and the only time I was in the unit was passed out drunk, I ‘might’ consider staying here again. Aside from that, I’ll pass!!"

"We shared a 2 bedroom condo with our daughter and son in law. We were on the ground floor. Loved it!!! Best location! So many places we could walk to. The turtles came to the lava rock shore, in front of the condo, each evening to eat. Amazing! The condo was clean and just lovely!! The only reason I gave the condo 4 stars, is that the parking lot is pretty small and tight."

"Best location on the beach! Great views, easy walk to Kam 2 and across to stores. Rooms are old and dated and they don't put any money back into resort at all. Same furniture and towels even for past 14yrs. No AC in most units. Needs a good cleaning but we return due to location and walkable area."

"This is THE place to stay on Maui! The location is paramount to navigating the island for various activities/adventures, and for seeing both sunrise & sunset from the lanai! We walked to the beach (Kamaole 2), and snorkeled right out front with turtles and various sea life. It was beautiful. There’s an outdoor shower for both body & feet, so we were sure to rinse before entering the condo (unit 501). It’s definitely warm inside without AC, so we were strategic with air flow, and used the portable fans to keep cool. It had all the amenities we needed, and we can’t wait to come back and stay again! Across the street- within walking distance- are various stores, restaurants, and gear rentals. The property managers were extremely responsive and accommodating when we needed anything. It was wonderful to meet them and the owners during our stay."

"Great location! We were in room 502. It was nice to have 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Could use a deep clean but given all of the sand that gets brought in, maybe it's better this way. Would give five stars except for us, we need AC. There just wasn't enough air flow for us to stay comfortable."
