Maui Coast Hotel was an ideal base in Kihei! It was centrally located right across the street from Kamaole I Beach, and while I wouldn't necessarily recommend staying anywhere in Kihei without a car, there were definitely places to eat and hang in walkable distance in both directions, and the hotel also offered a complementary shuttle service within a 3-mile radius. For those with cars, the plentiful free parking was a nice contrast vs the predatory parking fees at the Wailea resorts.

This is a lovely place to stay with wonderful service. Breakfast is extra, parking is extra and late checkout is extra. All seem excessive in a room over $800 a night. The bed was not very comfortable. View of ocean from the room butalmostno beach. Food was not worth the. Price and would recommend going off property to eat.

The location and ocean were nice. It was very quiet except for the sounds of the ocean and you didn't know if guests were next door or in the hall. The towels, yes the towels, were very absorbant and soaked up the water on your skin. (Important factor for me) Room size was smaller than expected but I didnt go there to stay in the hotel and the beds were comfortable. Spa services were amazing. Parking was simple. Very organized and efficient. Had one concern and it was handled swiftly. I...

I don’t know what isn’t too like. Everything about this place screams cute and quaint. Just perfect for the garden isle. I read someone on another review complain about the chickens… if you don’t like the chickens then go to another island because they are everywhere! Beautiful stay

We had an awesome stay. We did not realize how big this resort was. I would definitely stay at Kingsland again. It offers easy parking. And it is nice and quiet where we stayed. And we had access to any other part of the resort. So it allowed us to be away from the main building, where the beach and luau were located. Because there are a lot of people staying at that location. So where we stayed, it was nice and relaxing. They have a shuttle that will take you anywhere within their resort. They...

Great location close to the beach. Great price for the area and quality. Wonderful breakfast each day. Only suggestion would be to work on the drainage for the AC units. The condensation drops from the above unit onto the unit in the room making a constant dripping noise. Great place overall.

The room was clean and spacious, as was the bathroom. The hotel staff were professional, courteous, and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was the best hotel breakfast I have had in years, with rotating options, an omelet bar, and fresh cut pineapple. It was an all around 5 star stay.

Very intimate, we had the partial ocean view just steps away from the beach. Room was very clean,had everything you need stocked in the kitchen for cooking. Rooms have no air but ceiling fans and leaving windows open cool down the room and not to mention hearing the ocean waves are at night is so calming. Pool has bbqs and is awesome at night with the tiki torches lit. Thursday night they had a pool party free Maui Tais and a live singer. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They provide beach...

I like that this property is so close to the beach and shopping area. The gym and laundry facilities located on the same floor was convenient. I was able to work out while waiting for the laundry to be done. The manager’s reception with live music and the breakfast with miso soup daily sweet fresh pineapple were really enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice and clean. The bed was so comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

The beds we comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. I didn't like that the bathroom had barely any counter space for my stuff and the only plug was on the far side of the toilet. Had to place my toothbrush on the toilet tank and hair dryer cord barely reached the mirror to see what your doing.

Best time to go to Hawaii for a Christmas Vacation
The best time to go on a Christmas vacation in Hawaii depends on the type of festive experience you're looking for. Traveling in the weeks leading up to Christmas is ideal for visitors who want to enjoy holiday markets, seasonal events and the excitement of the season as destinations come alive with Christmas spirit. Christmas week itself offers the most eventful time, with special celebrations, festive dining, and memorable experiences that make the season feel truly magical. As one of the most popular travel periods of the year, both pre-Christmas and Christmas week can be busy, so booking early often provides the best choice of hotels and travel options. Whether you prefer soaking up the festive build-up or celebrating Christmas Day away from home, a Christmas vacation in Hawaii can be a memorable and rewarding holiday experience.
Tips to Save on a Christmas Vacation in Hawaii
Book early for the best selection and value. Christmas is one of the most popular travel periods of the year, so booking flights and hotels well in advance can help you secure better rates and a wider choice of accommodations. While last-minute deals can occasionally appear, waiting too long may mean fewer hotel options and higher rates, especially for popular destinations and family-friendly properties.
Consider pre-Christmas travel dates. Traveling in the weeks leading up to Christmas can be a great way to enjoy festive markets, holiday events, and a seasonal atmosphere while often benefitting from greater availability and attractive travel offers.
Bundle your trip to maximize savings. Combining flights, hotels, and other travel essentials into a package can often provide better overall value than booking separately. Bundle and-save options can also simplify planning and help travelers stay within budget.
Choose the right hotel for your needs. Family-friendly hotels, city center properties, and resorts all offer different benefits. Selecting accommodation that matches your travel style and priorities can help you get the most value from your Christmas vacation without paying for extras you may not need.
With a little planning and flexibility, travelers can enjoy the magic of a Christmas vacation in Hawaii while maximizing value and booking with confidence.
