Maalaea Surf Resort

Beautiful location and basically right on the beach. The condos are very nice. The pool is small, but clean and well maintained. Nice little beach, water is fairly calm for swimming and for kids to play. Very sandy beach and sandy ocean bottom, virtually no coral or lava rock. Great for kids, not great for snorkeling. The water is also not very clear. The increased price is the only reason for 4 stars. There are plenty of other less expensive places along the same beach or at a different location in Maui.

Spectacular location , not fancy but very Zen and the best way to enjoy Maui. Love this place so much

They got one of the best spots that doesn’t feel touristy and you can literally walk out of your patio to the ocean. The beach is not crowded and there are a ton of food options from near by food trucks closer to Acela Mauka. They don’t have the packages like snorkeling tours, food, all inclusive etc. and if that’s what one wants then up north at Kaanapalli will be better fit. This is the right place for families that want to stay in an upscale beach focused resort closer to where locals call it their home. The swimming pool is warm and cleaned daily and the premises are well kept too.

Amazing location and facility!!!!! We came on a family vacation with our 2 young children and parents. We loved the close proximity to the ocean… STEPS away from the beach! And the pool is centrally located. I am not sure if it was an off time… but it literally felt like we had the place to ourselves… appeared to be mostly older retired types that were here. They keep everything clean and top notch. Condo was well stocked, comfy beds and hot showers! If you are looking for a party/ night scene type of place… look elsewhere. If you are wanting a quiet, relaxing, private getaway, book here!

Perfect stay, listening to the ocean and enjoying a beautiful view from our balcony. We fit 5 comfortably in F5. Ideal location to explore the island, near to the highway and just north of Kihei town. A few minutes walk to the Maui Farmers Market, a bakery, and ABC store.

The resort and people are a 5 star, however planning is a problem. We stayed in Sept of 2021 and just before arrival were notified of construction in condo next door and we elected to stay and deal with it. Fortunately it wasn't too bad and we liked enough to book for Nov 2022. On our date to pay our remaining reservation, we were notified that again construction was going on and this time after several rounds were notified our reservation was cancelled entirely. Flights and other reservations have already been made so now we find ourselves in a last minute dash to find alternatives which is problematic. So book at your own risk. We love the place, but I don't know how we can rely on it for future reservations. Please note the service and overall rating apply to the resort and condo owners in general, not to the person who manages the reservations and gets you settled. She is wonderful, this is out of her control.

This condo was absolutely perfect! It was about 10 steps off our patio to the beach. The beach was great too. We saw whales every morning from right outside our doors. The condo was quiet and very clean. Also everything we needed was there. Coolers, towels, swimming stuff and on site laundry and only a few steps from where we parked to get into condo. We loved this place so much. Would definitely recommend this spot especially because the beach was so perfect and literally right in our back yard!

The main pool was shut when we were there but the small one was really nice. Are condo was right next to the water so we saw whales every day. Swimming in the ocean is really nice, the water is shallow for a while (going out) and the bay is protected a little from the waves. During the day we saw lizards, whales, birds, butterflies, jellyfish and even a turtle! During the night we saw a scorpion, a snake, geckos, and a praying mantis. From are place we walked up the beach early every mourning and the views are really nice. The sunset is also really nice. Overall it was an amazing place and I would definitely recommend it ! Note: About a month before we came the place flooded and there was still some damage and leaking at the place

This is my heaven. The place I have really good dreams about. I've been coming here since the 90s, it's was fairly easy to book then. It's not now, and I hate to post this great review, cuz then it will be HARDER! I've been thru a lot of managers over the years here. Mostly good, some just shitty and annoying. The CURRENT managers here are HANDS DOWN, the BEST. RYAN AND MALEA. Since they took over, everything has been excellent. The condos have ALWAYS been spectacular. All ocean facing, beautiful grounds, so SERENE and very well kept. Before Malea and Ryan there were issues with accountability when something went wrong in a unit. My last 5 visits, they took care of ANY issue, often when it wasn't their jobs. So- management is STELLAR These condos are ON MAALEAA BAY. The whales BREACH right there. The outrigger club paddles by every morning. Egrets chase the gardeners around. It's seriously paradise. If you like water slides, lots of people- this is not your place. The most people you will see is at sunset when the condo owners all bring there conch shells down to blow for the sunset. It IS a killer location tho. Close to all the Kihei stuff, not far from Lahaina or Paia. 2 pools, 2 groups of condos surrounding each pool. Beach is public but the only people you see are people walking by- otherwise it's quiet. Don't be an idiot, this place is AMAZING. JUST GO. Just not when I want to, DAMMIT!!
