Honokowai Vacations from $803

Room had a weird smell and cockroaches. Found was in my bed in the middle of the night. It is an island

We booked this room because we had planned a family trip for my mother's 60th birthday and traveled with 3 other families that also booked rooms in the same building. As soon as we walked in we noticed the disgusting carpet that is stained, worn, wrinkled and just felt disgusting to step on. Then the pullout couch was old and broken. Just touching the cushions felt like we needed to wash our hands. Then the bedroom comforter and bed was disgusting and old. Looked orginal from 1980's same with all the furniture in the room was just old and grungy. My allergies which are not bad we're completely triggered every night with the musty nasty mix of humid carpet and old furniture and bed sheet smell. It was terrible. Then they do not provide any beach towels and only provided 5 shower towels for a 5 night 6 day stay. We had to email for more shower towels which they brought 3. Even the coffee machine was old and gross. The drapes are old and gross and had to call maintenance because the cord to pull them up and down broke. Just over all terrible place to stay! On the flip side, the other family rooms were completely updated, beautiful, smelt clean, and comfortable. This owner clearly doesn't care to upkeep or care about customer experience. We paid really good money for this unit and the only reason I gave two stars is because of the view. I would not recommend to anyone. Save your money and poor experience.

The property is middle of the line - as rated on Expedia. The rooms are generally clean and cleaned only about every 3-4 nights' stay. I asked to be moved from a Standard room to a Deluxe. The property offers Standard rooms, which I originally booked via Expedia (very old / not updated room, AC & fan working but noisy) and Deluxe rooms (updated, not as many available, good working AC and fan). The rooms offer a balcony/ lanai with nice views of the beach and/or lush garden (though some face the parking lot) and there is a pool on the property. There is plenty of parking available just across the main building, covered by the amenities fees payable upon arrival. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. A key plus is that the hotel is in a great, central location in Kihei, across from Kihei's main beaches, and close to restaurants, food trucks, and shops accessible by foot. It is also close (about 10-15 min drive) to Wailea and its beaches and about a 50 minute drive to Lahaina/ Kaanapali beaches.
