I rented the loft penthouse and it was nice. No kitchen chairs for the table, just 2 barstools for the counter. So we ended up using the kitchen table as a catch all for out stuff when returning from the day. The kitchen has some silverware and dishes, but no actual kitchen knives to cut pineapples, etc. We were able to use the steak knife and tough cut the pineapple. My reason for the 4 stars is the bedroom and lack of privacy. They recently remodeled the bedroom and the pictures dont match its current layout. On the expedia picture is shows a small view of the loft windows because there is a wall. But that wall was moved back and there was a large french door sized opening cut into the middle of the room and the bed was arranged to face the opening in the wall. Well even tho the room sits technically 3 stories up, if dark and lights are on, the condos across the way or the beach goers can see directly into the room. I was caught changing by someone on their balcony. I notified the office and they said I was literally the only person to complain of this and there wasnt much they could do or offered to do. So I went to target and purchased a tension shower rod and some curtains to give privacy. I offered to leave but the manager stated the hotel didn't need it because I was the only person that ever complained over lack of privacy. She did refund 3 nights resort fees, but I took down the curtain and rod and returned them. It was a cute property, but wouldnt stay again.

We booked the garden view king-size bed room. The room was clean and had all the amenities someone would need in their room. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. They have Beach equipment for renting in the morning, but should be returned by end of that day. The location is amazing, with the beach just a couple feet from the property, and all the happening places just 10 mins away. Overall, we had an amazing time staying there.

The only cons, that I would say, were that parking is a bit tough to park if we arrive late everyday since it is first-come-first-serve basis. We got parking for all the days, just that we had to park a bit inside, in a congested space since we got home late. Another thing was that the bathroom door was a sliding door and did not have a lock on it.

I stayed in a room with a view and it was perfect for me. I was traveling alone and just needed quiet time which I absolutely received. If you are traveling with kids it might not be the place for you, the pool is super small and the beach across the street doesn't have a lot of shade and it's rocky. The view however is amazing.

The room was clean and comfortable.

This was an amazing room with a view of the ocean across the street. It had a king size comfortable bed, mini fridge, and a microwave. Everyone was friendly.
It is 13 minutes from the airport so very convenient.
Down the street was local shops, restaurants, and more. We found a gem of a place full of food trucks. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

The good: Our room was spacious. We enjoyed the pool. It was convenient to be able to get towels and beach chairs as needed. The front desk girl was nice.

The irritating: The laundry machines were broken. The rooms were not clean (especially the showers and floors).

The bad: We book a 3 bedroom suite for 10 people. When we arrived, we found that the suite only slept 6. We contacted the front desk, and they were not helpful and basically blamed Hotels.com, by saying that the listing was incorrect. They also said that I should have called the hotel to confirm… even though my confirmation email is literally for 10 people. It seems to me like when they received a booking for 10 people, they should have realized that they could not accommodate it, and contacted me. They did not offer to do anything to make it right. We ended up having to drive to the next town over to purchase air mattresses and bedding for our extra people, adding an extra expense. As of today, hotels.com is still booking our same room for 10 people.

Hotel is only 2 mins walk to the beach but the beach you can't swim. It's very misleading on the ads... The room is facing to garden view, but the trees are too tall and not maintained. It covered the view and we could not see anything out the window or the beach view. It was disappointing.

Friendly and quick check in. Updated and immaculate room with amazing shower pressure, and convenient small fridge and microwave. Quiet a/c and could hear subtle waves from beach across the street overnight. However, we also had big and somewhat noisy bulldozers working at 8 a.m. Not sure if they were repairing storm messes or longer term street repairs, so you may want to call ahead to see if that is still going on during the time of your upcoming stay. It impacted our ability to ever sit in the bistro table by our door to enjoy the ocean view.

I recently stayed at this property during my vacation and had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. One of the highlights of my stay was the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail that made the experience enjoyable. The amenities were as advertised, and everything contributed to a relaxing and memorable vacation. You will definitely need transportation, few miles away are great foods,and a market area. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would gladly return in the future.

This was a pleasant, quiet stay. It didn’t have the amenities of a larger resort (no on-site dining/bar, smaller but very kind staff, limited parking). So, it’s more geared towards lower key travelers. The staff was very kind and the location was great.

Okay, at first I was a little disappointed in the location, but it turned out to be great for us. We did a lot of exploring and visiting other beaches. The room was clean, spacious, and budget friendly. The beach is across the street. It was a great beach to walk but not as pretty or clear for swimming as other beaches. The property is very centrally located for exploring the island. If you plan to spend most of your time on the property, I would book elsewhere. BUT if you are looking for a budget friendly place for base camp, it worked out great for us! Note, it has a kitchenette but is not stocked with any dishes, utensils, etc. it does have a drip coffee maker with a small amount of coffee, small fridge, sink. It was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were super nice and helpful!!!

I stayed from May 20th to May 26th. The property is like a motel. But was clean and tidy and airy. Amenities - Free Parking in a narrow alley. Housekeeping was a hit and miss. Regularly used to get a message like this -
Aloha from Kohea Kai! We wanted to provide an update regarding housekeeping services for tomorrow, x/XX. Due to staffing limitations and high occupancy, we will unfortunately be unable to offer any housekeeping or refresh services tomorrow, including trash removal, towel replenishment, sweeping, or mopping.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. If you need any additional amenities during your stay, please feel free to contact the front desk or reply to this message and we will do our best to assist.

Mahalo nui for staying with us!

Maybe, it is a place that provides value for money.

The location was perfect. They upgraded our room which was wonderful. The room was updated and great for our needs. The only things were that the shower leaked all over the floor if you didn’t place the curtain just right, the ants and nats were bad (but it is that season and couldn’t really be helped. They did provide ant traps.), and for some reason there was only 1 small trash can in the whole room. We asked for more trash cans but they didn’t have any, so they gave us some trash bags. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

First time to Maui, hotel was easy to find , welcomed by front desk agent who was very friendly and had the aloha spirit , checked me in very quickly being it was 10:00p.m. And I was super tired . Room was close by with parking stalls easily accessible which was right outside my room. Room was extremely clean, fresh cold A/C and I had the most pleasant nights rest and woke up to the ocean right outside my door . Mahalo and I will definitely be booking my future stays with their hotel again .

Our ocean view 1‑bedroom suite at Kohea Kai far exceeded expectations. The photos don’t come close to capturing how beautiful and peaceful this place really is. The suite was clean, nicely furnished, and surprisingly affordable for Kihei.

The best part was the balcony/deck — every evening we watched stunning sunsets while listening to the sound of the waves. Being right across the street from the beach made everything effortless, from morning walks to quick dips in the ocean.

If you want comfort, convenience, and true ocean views without the resort‑level price tag, this suite is a gem.

When I stayed in the penthouse, this felt like a great secret find, and I mainly wish I had made more use of the kitchen and living space. I will have to come back, and wil have my friends stay in the other rooms so we can enjoy the site more fully!

Great staff too, even when I was having a late-night arrival. I'm at least glad I walked across the street to the nice beach multiple times.

I wouldn’t stay here unless it’s all you could afford and there is no other option. Room was dirty and bathroom drawers were falling apart. Long black hairs left in the shower. The bed was uncomfortable and cheap. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in the next room. I have never written a negative review but this felt necessary.

Tough timing to arrive right after the bad storm. This area was hit hard and we can imagine the work it took to get all back together. Staff shortage affected housekeeping but the front desk was helpful and cheerful in providing fresh towels and other needed items. No internet service but we were compensated fairly. Good A/C in our room and comfortable bed. We appreciated the complimentary use of beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. Easy to drive out of the rain on Maui!! Would enjoy visiting again when Kohea Kai is bright and shiny!

Our stay was very nice! This is definitely a motel and not a hotel, but we were very comfortable. The pool was full of plant debris and the hot tub was cold, so we did not use those unfortunately. It was very nice to have beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas provided! The shower towels provided were the cheapest, thinnest, smallest towels I have ever been provided; consider bringing your own! House cleaning was advertised, but it was cancelled over half the time due to staff shortages. This was very disappointing as we stayed for awhile and it was very difficult to keep the sandiness under control after spending the day at the beach. The beach across the street was incredible! We loved being able to just walk across the street and watch the sunset!

When we opened the door to the room, we almost fell because the floor was sunken. Also, the stairsteps were uneven at the top of the stairs, and this was a problem. Also, I don't think we were told that the only bathroom was upstairs. The kitchen was very poorly lit.

The room looked nothing like the photos advertised. While it was technically clean (floors, bathroom, and sheets), the overall condition was poor and clearly overdue for an update.
Walls were stained with peeling paint, there was visible rust, and the wall décor looked cheap and poorly maintained. The room also had a lingering unpleasant smell that felt musty or “old,” not just from cleaning products.
The bathroom sink had no drain protection, making it easy for small items to fall in. For the cost, this was not acceptable. Advertising “updated rooms” and then providing accommodations that feel below motel quality is misleading.

It was ok. Our original flight was cancelled so we arrived a day late. Apparently we checked in the night before? so we didnt have a room ready when we arrived at midnight and had to wait. Once in room, it was spacious but lacking a few things. For example no couch, table or even chairs to sit at. There was a small desk with a rikety office chair that had a screw petruding the seat. Even our deck had chairs but no side table, had to put everything on ground or sit on our bed. Next night tried using the hottub but was told it was out of order which was not true. Certain staff just weren't shown where the timer was to turn it on. Other facilities like the pool and garden patio were great but their pictures are deceiving because no where is there beach access like they show. You have to physically cross a main road to get to the beach and there are no chairs or tables to sit at. I will say the staff were fantastic and the location was great! Just a couple things that would have made it better!

We booked a suite expecting to have a kitchen. There was a microwave & mini fridge that comes in most hotel rooms. There was a kitchen sink but no dishes, utensils, napkins, dish soap, etc. There was a cutting board but no knife! The gutters outside had not been cleaned in a long time so with every gust of wind, debris rained down on the balcony. We requested a broom and swept the balcony twice a day. We also swept the floors in our suite as they were dirty. Housekeeping was supposed to be done every 3rd day. We had text messages on each of the service days that they did not have enough staff to service our room. I said our trash was overflowing, and was told I could put it in the dumpster! When I complained that I was paying over $400 per night for 6 nights and should not have to do self service, they found a housekeeper to “clean” the room. For being a resort with resort fees, I would expect more. There are no drawers in the entire suite for our clothes. There are no hooks or towel bars. There are only 5 hangers. “Amenities” are available for rent (beach towels, etc). Coffee & tea are only available until 7:00pm which we were informed at check in; it does not say limited time on the website.
The website does not tell us that there are no elevators and that we would need to able to climb steps.
Upon checkout, we discovered separate charges for “hotel” as well as tax on that charge. What is the hotel charge? We already paid over $400 per night for the room.

My son and I were turned away to the streets because the card I booked with has a venmo logo on my Mastercard. The girl at the desk refused to even have a conversation about it saying it was a pre paid card. It is not. It was a legit mastercard linked to my bank. She left the room and left us stranded. Then hotels.com made me just through hoops to get a refund after denying my claim. It ruined the last day of our location. They would not let me call a family member to use their card or even have a conversation with me about it. While in there another guest was upset that the room they paid for did not have the features it was supposed to, such as a working fridge. The rooms are also not beach front and the images online do not match the vibe.

The room was spacious and quite clean. Although there was not much seating (sofa or chairs), there was pretty much anything else we could ask for - coffee maker, small refrigerator, microwave, iron, etc.
The standout thing for us was the staff. Lenni (sp?) was amazing. Not only friendly and professional, but she went out of her way to accommodate us when we arrived a few hours before check-in time. There was a place for us to store our luggage, she gave us some good recommendations for lunch, we were allowed to hang out at the pool, and when the room became available early, she texted me and checked us in early. Because of her, we will definitely be staying here the next time we visit Maui.
