"Best location in West Maui!
We loved our stay at Hale Kai #103. The building itself is in a really great location of West Maui adjacent to Honokowai Beach Park and close to the best beaches like Ka'anapali, Napili, Honolua, etc. Unit #103 is situated right at the water's edge and next to the park so the kids can climb the tree, search for shells, play at the park, and with the reef so close to the sand, it provides a nice barrier for younger kids to play in the surf safely. The pool is nice and overlooks the water. Plus the condo itself had all the amenities one would need for their stay in Hawaii."

"Convenient location and gorgeous view
Beautiful place to live. Beaches in your front yard and backyard, from where You can actually find sea turtles, sea urchins and crabs.
It is also in walking distance to many restaurants and stores."

"Wonderful place for a family vacation!
Our family had the most amazing time at Hale Kai and in this condo! The furniture is much more updated that it shows in the photo and it had everything we needed to make it feel like home. The location of this particular unit is unbeatable as the patio is just steps away from the ocean and beach. Everything you need is also within walking distance which was lovely. It was a bit of a tight squeeze to fit 4 people but we managed. The pull out couch is about the size of a queen bed and takes up almost the whole living room when pulled out. Staff were wonderful and friendly! Would happily book this condo again if we are lucky enough to visit Maui a second time!"

"Best vacation location EVER!
The Unit #3 condo itself is not noteworthy although it was adequate for our needs, but the patio (lanai) for this unit is to die for. Mere feet to walk straight to the ocean water lapping at the beach. The views are beach, beach park, and in the distance across the street there are shops including a market, Bad *** Coffee, and Boss Frog snorkel, bike & beach rentals. I can think of no better place for the money than Hale Kai to spend a week or so in paradise."

"Great location!
I love Hale Kai. Ocean front living at its best. I know COVID has left it’s mark. There are several things that concerned me.
1. Paint peeling on ceiling in bedroom
2. Bedroom door falling apart at bottom
3.screen door needs repair
4. Kitchen and bathroom need updating
5. Someone needs to be in the office during the week "

"Great location unit needs a LOT of TLC
We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Kai. It was easy to get into the room when we arrived, and the woman at the front desk was always kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. We stayed in unit 103, which is in the park side and has a great view of the ocean. However, our room was VERY run down and needs some work put into it. There is “paint” splattered in the wall, the screen door has to be jiggled a lot to open, the hide-a-bed is terrible (so I would consider this room for 2 not 4) the side of the stove was filthy, the fan above the bed is falling apart, the door to the bedroom is all broken apart at the bottom, and the tub in the bathroom needs a good scrub and the fan in the bathroom is absolutely filthy. My issues with Hale Kai are solely the room, everything else (location, management, employees, pool) were fabulous. We would stay again, just in a different unit."

"The perfect getaway
We loved the location, the sound of the crashing waves, the night sky, the trees filled with birds at sunrise and sunset, the Bad *** coffee across the street, the sweet papayas and pineapples, and the daily swims."

"Loving the park views at the Hale Kai!
I love this unit for the view of the park and the ocean. It was very relaxing stay. The unit could use a little updating, but it was clean and comfortable. I liked the option of the pool when the ocean was too rough. I'd stay here again."

"A Small Community in Maui
Hale Kai was a wonderful place for a relaxing get away to a small community that is perched right on the ocean. The condos have marvelous views of the /beachocean and a peak into the private life of Hawaian families with a well used park next door. Seeing the sea turtles in the morning and evening just feet away from our lanai and front door was an added bonus. Our condo 103 is greatly in need of refurbishing, but the location was wonderful. We would return again in the future, but would select another condo (unless this one is updated) on the first floor. Quiet, restful, fun. "

"Pleasant apartment
Nice unit--light, airy, with view of the next door park. Bedroom door requires repair or replacement due to breakage along the bottom edges
where door stopper is used--Manager, Valerie, is delightful, always friendsly and
helpful. She quickly replaced a lightbulb and nonfunctioning blender."

"Great Bargain, Great Location, Definitely Would Recommend & Retur
From the moment we arrived to the moment we sadly had to depart, my sister and I simply had a lovely time. Every morning started w a sit at the beach w our coffee; our early evenings, watching the sunset. The kitchen was well stocked and we had fabulous dinners @ home. Farmer's Market right across the street. Not luxury, but you won't miss luxury, the price is so right and the people just tertific#"

"Low-key and lovely!
Hale Kai is th perfect spot for a relaxed getaway. The surf sounds lull you to sleep at night and the sand is just steps from your door in the morning. The management couldn't be more friendly or accommodating and fellow guests are a varied and delightful group. We have stayed in #103 twice and find it homey and welcoming. We hope to return in 2019!"
Feb 14, 2018 - Caroline W., Blaine, WA
"Nice location, needs upkeep.
The location is nice and the lanai has a wonderful feel and view. The condo, however, needs upkeep. The bedroom door has a gaping hole at the bottom - a few inches have been rotted or chipped away from the door. The fridge has dark stains up and down the side facing the counter top and stove. These things detract from the experience. A conscientious owner would have fixed them. The complex is older, but not all units are like this; relatives stayed in an upstairs condo and it was by comparison immaculate. We did enjoy our stay there, but the condition of the unit was disappointing. "

"Home away from home
Nice little gem of a place. This is the fourth time I have stayed at Hale Kai. #103 has a beautiful view of the park and beach. TV needs to be upgraded, and we had to buy an HDMI cord for it to work properly. Can't spend every second in the beautiful outdoors otw it's centrally located, enjoyed the market and early morning walks on the beach. "

"Nice location for families
We enjoyed being on a beach with relatively mellow waves adjacent to a park with a playground. The area has a mellow, non-commercial atmosphere."

"Great value for a waterfront condo
We stayed in #103 for 8 nights.
While it's not the Ritz it's an amazing value
For a waterfront property in a nice part
Of west maui. You are only a 5 min drive from
Some of the islands best beaches.
My only complaint about this property was
Our neighbors who ended up smoking in the
Park right outside our porch and th smoke
Would blow into our condo.
Other than that it was really nice
And the beach area and park were great for
Morning workouts."

"Home away from home
We love everything about Hale Kai, we would move there and live forever if given the option. The location is perfect, there is the beach park, a private beach and the pool. We barely left the grounds, we had a bomb coffee shop, farmers market and the fresh fish market down the block. What else do you need!!???"

"Family Adventure to Maui
We chose to stay at Hale Kai after my several weeks of searching for the perfect place to stay for our first family trip to Maui. I had wanted to be able to walk right out my door to see and hear the ocean and beach without having to cross the street. We also wanted a safe place for our children to play in the water. We have a 2 year old and a 6 year old. Hale Kai turned out to be the best decision ever! Not only could be see and hear the ocean-it was literally right out our door!!!! Also, the public park(Honokowai) was so great with its protective coral reef that made it easy for the kids to wade without being taken out with the big waves. We saw tons of turtles and whales! Awesome! We also felt extremely welcomed by all the people who stayed at Hale Kai. Residents were very fun and entertaining and super kind. Lots of fun blowing the conch shell every evening at sunset. Our 6 year old just had to go and buy her own shell to join the Conch Blowers group! Very Fun! Hale Kai is also right across the street from Badass Coffee Roasters and the Farmers Market. Very handy for excellent breakfast goodies and fresh fruit...can't say enough about the fresh Papaya. Also, right up the street is the Fish Market. I am missing that Poke! We had thought at first that it might be too far away from many of the attractions that we would want to see, but actually it turned out that all we really needed was right there at Hale Kai!!!
Sand, Sun, good food, good people and lots of ALOHA!!! We will be back!!!!"

"Room 103
We loved our stay in Maui and would definitely stay in this location again, maybe just not in this specific condo. The location was very convenient with shops, supermarkets and farmers market all within easy walking distance. The view from our lanai(especially the sunset and the whales) was amazing. The beach area was adequate. We were able to swim in the ocean, but you had to be careful of the rocks. Swimming pool was a bit small but it served its purpose. We used the grills several times instead of going out to dinner and we also used the laundry facilities. I would recommend one of the more updated condos over the one that we stayed in. Ours was clean, but we did have small ants in the kitchen and inside the cupboards so we kept all of our food in the fridge even if it didn't need to be kept cold. The bedroom/bedding especially could use some updating and some rugs at entry ways would help catch some of the sand that so easily gets tracked in. Overall, we were happy. We had friends staying in 3 of the other condos on the property so it was great to be able to be in close proximity of each other. "

"Perfect place to stay on Maui!
We loved staying at Hale Kai, the management couldn't be friendlier, the condos were clean and well maintained and we were in the perfect location, beach was right outside our door with water perfect for snorkeling and fishing. Right next to farmers market, shops and restaurants and a park for the kids... We couldn't be happier and would choose Hale Kai again."

"A room with a beautiful ocean view.
We had a wonderful 2 week vacation. We could walk out the front door to the pool or out the back door and be on the beach. The property description was correct. The unit was clean and comfortable. It does need some paint through out the condominium and some miner repairs including the bedroom door and ceiling near the drapes. The manager helped us with our needs providing great customer service. The landscaping was beautifully maintained. We have and will continue to recommend the Hale Kai to our friends. We had a very nice time."

"Happy at Hale Kai
Property and location are great. The oceanfront and intimate size, plus lovely pool make this spot pretty unbeatable. Quiet at night. Guests friendly. This unit needs paint and a serious update to the bathroom, but all is functional. Worth the current price."

"30th Anniversary on Maui!
Hale Kai was fantastic and so affordable! From our lanai we could see, hear, and smell the ocean! Condo had all amenities except a pair of scissors! Yes, the condos are older, but we were so happy we weren't in a place with 10 buildings, each 5 stories tall. We saw turtles at the rocks in front of the pool before noon on our first day! Saved money by cooking our own meals. Feel asleep to the sound of the waves! Clean and sufficient for this family of 4: parents and 17&21 yr. old kids. Landscaping was immaculate. Flowers in bloom - bananas near parking lot. Close to Farmer's market, snorkle rental, and coffee! Just lovely!"

Great location. Parking was never a problem. View from condo was fantastic, with a park adjacent to the property. Friendly, informed staff. Stores and eating establishment nearby, many within walking distance. Just a great place to spend a week or more."

"Great place!
Location of Hale Kai #103 is the best! The ocean view is just breathtaking, right from the lanai (porch). It's located in a calm locality, right by a public park (not noisy though).
All the amenities provided were good enough for our 8-day long stay. Surprise was that they even had some beach stuff - chairs, hat, umbrella , mats, snorkel etc. - which we did not have to buy or rent separately.
Kitchenware looked pretty new. Onsite laundry is very helpful. Overall it was a wonderful stay, and I am sure we will go back!!"

"Lovely place
Loved unit 103 could sit on the couch and watch the Wales . Because the public beach park was right outside our Lani door. The pool was beautiful and very inviting. The condos private beach was clean and lovely. Our condo was perfect and the grounds were pristine. The only thing that could be improved would be assigned parking spaces. Sometimes when we arrived back late we had to park in the farther parking area. Not more than a few feet further, probably needed the exercise anyway. Loved the convince of the condos, Bad *** coffee right across the street, Avery nice health food store . Even a drop in emergency clinic and a large shopping area with a reasonable suppermarket. Several Excellant places to eat. The Health food store had an Excellant salad bar and serve yourself take out. I would definitely stay there again.

"Love Hale Kai!
We again had a wonderful stay at Hale Kai. The additions of a comfortable couch and well- functioning showerhead were much appreciated. 103 is slowly coming closer to being on par with the units around it. Perhaps painting the bathroom could be next on the "to do" list. The location is awesome, everyone friendly and the whales and turtles the added bonus to sitting on the lanai at 103."

"We love the Hale Kai
We haven't been back to the Halle Kai for 9 years. Once we were there we felt home again. How could we forget how much we love the Hale Kai. It's very homey and relaxed. It's part of the Maui experience along with the Farmer's Market and Bad *** Coffee. Not to mention the close proximity to Airport Beach, Kapalua Bay, Flemming Beach, Napili Bay and Olivine Pools. Several Turtles beached on the sand at the Hale Kai and the Park side. Plenty to see in the water too. We have stayed in 101, 102 and now 103. All are wonderful. We highly recommend the Hale Kai and can't wait to return in the near future."

"Disappointing Stay at Hale Kai
My husband and I stayed at the Hale Kai for 1 week in late November 2013. The reservation process was seamless and upon arrival easily made our way into the unit using the lock box system.
Our arrival was late evening and in the morning we were very surprised at the state of our unit. We found large amounts of hair, dust and bugs under the bed, hair in the shower stall and the floor had not been cleaned properly either. Minimum amount of cleaning done in the kitchen, cupboards full of old food which should have been removed. The furniture is old and tired, the stove is probably the original one bought for the unit in the 1960's. And the unit needs a good painting. We did speak to the property manager about the amount of hair and dirt in the bedroom so the cleaners came in and cleaned the floor but only under the bed leaving other areas in the room untouched. We were never asked if we were happy with the cleanup, no follow up. Note: some appliance upgrades have been made in the kitchen.
The other issued staying at the Hale Kai was the proximity to the public park; there were numerous pit bull dogs with aggressive owners frequenting the park and staying most of the day, they would set up on the beach. We saw many dog fights, dog owners fighting and local thugs brought in to beat up a certain undesirable dog owner. We lost count of the number of times the police were called. The people staying at the resort were the ones calling the police. Certainly did not feel safe being on the beach and would certainly not want to have children around people who can not control their dogs. Maui has a dog law for public parks, they are to be on leashes but it is never enforced.
This resort does have a good beach location and this seems to be what keeps people coming back. Given the state of the unit we stayed in, the lack of management of the unit and the continuing issue of dog fights, we certainly would not recommend the unit.

"Yes & No
Location, location, location!! The Hale Kai is a great location and my family (and now their families & my grandchildren) have been coming to the Hale Kai since 1967. We have always had a superlative time - until this year. The unit was dirty, the furniture was dingy, the kitchen lacks quite a bit (like a working dishwasher); the microwave is rusty and it takes ten minutes to make toast in the toaster oven (no toaster either); the oven is so old you can't read the dial. We stay in condos for a reason - to save money on food and do the majority of cooking ourselves. Thank goodness my daughter brought her own knives! A new coat of paint would help a bit. The bathroom needs an upgrade, as does the kitchen. The king size comfortable bed and the art work was appreciated. The unit just seems to be unloved I think; all of the other units we have stayed in seem to be loved by their owners. When the refrigerator died (it was near death when we checked in and it took overnight to make 7 ice cubes...management had a new fridge in within 24 hours (alas, no ice maker but that isn't a big deal). The management was good, friendly and responded quickly to problems - which unfortunately happened. I forgot to mention that the sliding screen door was very difficult to operate, once we reported it, it was fixed the next day. We will be back to the Hale Kai, but not in this unit unless it is refurbished. "

Left a list of needs (new bed, better sheets, few kitchen items) with office. Understand bed has been ordered. Location is great but unit #103 needs a bit of refreshing (fewer wine glasses, more cooking pots & bowels) to be up the standards of the rest of the Hale Kai."

We were upstairs in #203 and I rented this unit for my daughter (what a nice mom). They loved it. Every morning I looked down on the beach and they were enjoying coffee, in the very comfortable provided beach chairs, watching whales. I was a bit jealous of their easy beach access. This unit was bright and airy and perfect. "

"Hale Kai Maui stay Aug. 2012
Very nice place to stay. A bit pricy but so is everything else in Hawaii. Great place to snorkel right off the beach with many fish and sea turtles. Great convenience of stores to buy food so as to use the onsite BBQ which was very nice to have. Condo was stocked with everything we needed but bigger skillets which we borrowed from a friend that was staying in 104. The only complaint we have is that the floor was not scrubbed or mopped prior to us moving in. Our bare feet would get black from walking around on it every night, had to wear surf shoes. "
