Aston Paki Maui

Worst Condo I ever stayed in.

Location is close to nice hotels/condos, shops & restaurants. Now the bad - and to be fair I must tell you that each condo is individually owned and maintained so If they try to put you in #212, run like the dickens. Holes in the walls filled with overstuffed plaster and no paint over patches. There is filthy black carpeting that used to be beige and 16 holes or slits in the kitchen linoleum. Rooms are very noisy, with people talking in the hallway outside the rooms, and garbage trucks, lawn equipment, etc. We went in November 2009 and the lack of A/C was stifling even that late in the year, so you had to have your windows open. Says it sleeps 4-6 but has one bed and two towels. No washer/dryer. The dishwasher flooded the kitchen when I turned it on. Sink has no plug or dishpan so could not wash dishes (which were so minimum you had to wash each piece after using.) Furniture was rickety, old, unmatched and mostly plastic. Many of the electrical outlets did not work. The front desk staff during check-in gave no indication of any amenities, just gave a lecture on how if they even "suspect" you of smoking, even on the lanai, gardens or lawn, they will add $450. to your bill. When I said we didn’t smoke, they told us to tell them if we "suspect" anyone else of smoking so they could add it to THEIR bill. Note also that they add $8./day to your bill for parking a rental car. Overall, the absolute worst condo room I’ve ever seen. Do NOT accept room 212!

Make sure you stop at all the small farmer’s markets for some great deals on beachwear, towels, tee shirts, jewelry, fruits & veggies, and all sorts of other things. Also book tours from the advertisements in the free booklets, rather than from the hotels who charge more and take a cut.

very impressed

it was a very relaxing place to stay. the staff was very nice and helpful. the view from the room was amazingly beautiful. i enjoyed my stay.

We had a good time at Paki Maui

My husband and I took our 5 and seven year old for a week vacation at the Paki Maui. We had a one bedroom, which was a good size for the 4 of us. The full kitchen was a money saver. The pool/grill area was VERY nice and we used it every night. The barrier reef outside the hotel accommodated some amazing up close and personal experiences for us with the tide pools throughout the days, not to mention the monk seal and sea turtle that came up! It’s a wonderful location and the staff was very nice. Try Bad A** Coffee down the street, "Kula Pie" was my favorite. That was also where the closest ATM was located.

Don’t miss Ioa Valley! I have been to Maui 3 times but this time was the first that I made it to the valley. It is worth the drive even if you have no other reason to go through Wailuku. Kapalua was the best kid friendly beach/swimming area. stock up on everything at walmart in Kahalui before you head to this side of the island, they have the BEST prices on the island.
