"Home away from home
Our stay was great.The only problem we had was that there was no management available for the pool and lounging area .
Some kids and there parents had no regard for the facilities or the rest of the people that used made it nearly impossible to use while these people were in attendance."

"Spacious and comfortable
This is the most comfortable and well stocked unit we have stayed in at Hale Kai. Attention to details, new appliances and a spacious layout all contributed to our well being. We wish we could have stayed longer. "

"Always wonderful
I love Hale Kai...Ive stayed many times...it feels like my home away from home...this time was no different, wonderful as usual...always meet great people, relaxed vibe and the windows open all night with the tropical breeze and the sound of the waves make for a special experience..."

"Hale Kai is a beautiful place in Maui
We enjoyed our stay although unit 214 needs renovation. In the future we will probably stay another units. It’s unfortunate that the orders did not up to air-conditioning in each of the units."

"Great time/not a great room
We loved Maui. And we loved the location of our condo. It really needs a little TLC. Bedroom doors are off the tracks.(tried several times to fix finally gave up) We tried to keep our place tidy but the vacuum did not work and broom was falling apart. They have just 1 fan and it was duck taped together and was very weak. No cleaning supplies were provided. Glass table tops and counters need to be cleaned daily. The shower was interesting.. water pressure good but not the easiest to climb into. Very odd high tile. Several of the kitchen cabinets would not close and the garbage (under the sink fell off) Actually it was a really nice place. It needs a little love. And the carpet was a little weird too. I would recommend this property to a friend just not room 214. Thank you for your time. AnneMarie Parola"

"Whale watching delight
We spent 10 glorious days at Hale Kai in units 214 and 215. They are in a perfect location for all manner of Maui activities. Great sidewalks for walking. Easy to get to the stores and restaurants and best part was it was whale watching season. We didn't want to go anywhere since the views were outstanding. We saw hundreds of humpbacks spy hopping, tail slapping and spouting. Also, the green sea turtles hang around the beach everyday. It was a real treat. The condos were well appointed. Just wish we had brought our binoculars."

"Heaven on Earth
We where here for our Honeymoon, I stayed at the Hale Kai, and I have a friend who is a owner at the Hale Kai. It was my first time staying on the second floor. And, after staying up on the second floor, I will only on the second floor in the future. Room 214, has a beautiful view and is private when sitting out on the lani. It was my new Wife’s first time to Maui, and she was at awe at the view and the beauty of the Hale Kai. I have and will always highly recommend the Hale Kai, and room 214. We, have already booked to come back for our first anniversary."

"AC would be nice in July
Stayed here in July. The place is lovely and has a spectacular view of the ocean (and pool). Great location as well. Though it's not the most "modern" unit, it has everything you might need. The only drawback was that it gets very warm without AC. It might be fine in other months, but in July, keeping the fans running and the windows open just wasn't enough. "

"Maui Vacation
Overall, very good experience. A minor glitch our bill, but handled very quickly. The property was very clean, excellent ocean side facility. The views are killer. Giant turtles less than 20 feet off shore feeding on the laver rocks. Weather was very good. Lots to do on this island."

"I would not recommend this unit
We LOVE the Hale Kai and the location! This is our 3rd visit. The last 2 units we stayed in were nice. This unit was bad. It smelled like a nursing home, the kitchen and bath cabinets were old, faded, chipped up, and squeeked so loud they would wake up my husband in the back room. I opened the top one to get a coffee mug our first morning and the handle was broken off the first one I grabbed! The bed was as hard as the floor and obviously very old. It seemed like it was just rented to death. I did like the upgraded stove and microwave. The step up into the shower wasn't even safe! I did NOT feel like it was worth the charge of about $130 a night. We may stay elsewhere in Honokwai next time we come. It could of been a tad cleaner and there was MINIMUM kitchen service items. We both felt sad returning home. It wasn't what we were hoping to stay in. "

"room 214
Disappointing. Unit was very dilapidated. We were without internet and cable first night. Next morning notified office cable didn't work after following directions in book. Was told they would be up to help after they were settled in that morning. After a couple of hours, I went and checked with office again. She then followed me to the unit to assist. She was able to get cable working. I stated it might be a good idea to update directions since they are not correct. She responded with "we have 25 units and each one is different." I feel like the owner of each unit could be required to supple directions to their TVs. Customer service at the Hale Kai could be improved. I have stayed in some nice Hale Kai units. Owners should be required to maintain units up to a certain quality since they are renting the units for profit. I stay for the location.
We did not even have enough water for 2 short showers. Greasy kitchen stove area. Sliding door does not lock at door handle. It would be nice to have coffee filters supplied in each unit.
Please send me the list of rooms I have stayed in over the years as I requested when we were there this week. I have not seen an email yet. "

"Another great trip!
This condo was wonderful! For the price, you can’t get much better. The condo is dated but it works for a family with kids. Not worried about messing up anything fancy. The location can’t be beat. Who could complain about waking up with such a beautiful view?!"

"214
Very good. With a couple of exceptions. The toaster didn't work properly. Kitchen and bath could use some updating.

"A great location
Overall a great location. One of the oldest buildings in the area, two stories, close to the water, with a pool. Not the exotic or high end kinds of amenities that one might find in other mega hotels, but location is everything. Some rental units are upgraded. We were in 214, which needed some help in the kitchen and was a little care-worn. But the unit was upstairs, and looked to the ocean. "

Room 214 with 2nd floor balcony view was outstanding. Valery was terrific. The pool & grounds excellent. "

"Great View at Hale Kai 214
The rental was a great experience. I would recommend the property to friends and family. Valerie, the property manager was wonderful. She provided great customer service and was always friendly. The ocean view was beautiful and the property inside and out was clean. The kitchen has new appliances and older cabinets/countertops. The kitchen and bathroom are small but functional and there is some street noise from the bedroom. Parking is close and easy. The laundry facility was on property, new and reasonable. We would come back again!"

"Much needed vacation
Our condo has the most amazing views. Its located near a wonderful coffeeshop and beach with a park. We were very happy with where we stayed. Only thing with no air conditioner you have to leave all the windows open which is great, but the bedroom is on the parking lot side so its not very quiet and bright. But for us the view made up for that."

"We are thrilled about our stay at Hale Kai in May 2016
Location could not possibly be better, ocean front with wonderful ocean surf sights and sounds all the time. Unit was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Staff was very helpful. The pool was a delight, clean, sparkling and steps from the ocean and great snorkeling. Obviously the association has given careful thought to recycling of various types of refuse. We were impressed with the thoughtful convenience and tidiness of the laundry/disposal area. We enjoyed viewing the resident sea turtles from the pool deck within minutes of our arrival. Looking forward to our next visit. "

"Relaxing, peaceful community
We love to stay at the Hale Kai!!! The quaint property has a spirit of friends and family all around. We've stayed there a few times and would absolutely return!!
The first days there were sea turtles dining on the rocks and one even came up on the beach after sunset. A few days later we took paddle boards about a half mile straight out from the property and found more sea turtles. We just sat on our boards and waited until they surfaced. Some were curious and swam right up to us! Amazing experience!!"

"Our Stay at Hale Kai
This was a very nice Maui location. It was our first trip to Maui. Our children stay here almost every year and suggested we join them. We are happy we did. There are lots to see and do in the general area. We were able to tour around points of interest by car and also purchased an all day bus pass and spent one day traveling the island, one end to the other. We had a great time at Hale Kai. The unit was very nice, right on the ocean. The pool side patio and pool were very nice."

"Great Stay ... Again
This is the fourth time we've stayed at Hale Kai. Gets better and better. Perfect location. Great views of whales and turtles -- from our balcony! A short walk to restaurants, shops, and markets. We don't have a car, but the bus takes us anywhere -- $4.00 for an all day pass. Can't beat it."

"Lovely location
Hale Kai is a small relaxed, oceanfront condo property. The views are fabulous, the management is excellent, and the units are comfortable and clean. I've stayed at Hale Kai twice now and would not hesitate to return."

"Hale Kai Lover since 1979!
What can I say....I LOVE THE HALE KAI! I've been coming here with my family since 1979 when I was a lad of fifteen. I'm 51 now and plan on coming here as often as I can. I'm a flight attendant with Alaska Airlines so I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. I very much enjoyed unit 214 for it's splendid view, comfort and affordability. Internet reception was occasionally marginal but that was no real issue. C'mon, when you're in paradise you should be able to disconnect now and then! No gripes here...Love you guys!"

"Amazing views
We were thrilled we chose to stay here. Location was perfect close to lots of beaches with great snorkelling. It was a short drive to Lahina. We would definitely return"

"Wonderful Stay!!!
We stayed at the Hale Kai in March and the location was unbeatable!!! Turtles right outside our door every afternoon, whales jumping fun the distance and a pool right on the ocean. Most of the other renters were wonderful inviting us to participate in their sunset conch blowing ceremonies. I would say that it was less relaxing when a lot of children were present in the pool as it is a small complex and they tend to take over being very loud. But it is a small complex and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The condo was very clean and perfect for our needs. "

"great location
Beautiful property and great pool. Unfortunately we had some very rude people there who didn't think the rules applied to them and they put a huge damper on the second half of our trip. Without them, it would have been a perfect vacation."

"Room 214
First, you can not beat the location. the rooms vary in condition based on the last time the room was updated. room 214 needs attention. the bed was a full and not appropriate for a couple. the furnishings are dated but clean. overall the best part are the people who stay there and the million dollar view."

"Home Away From Home
On our sixth return visit to the Hale Kai, we found everything to be as friendly and comfortable as always. The unit had had some new appliances installed and while the rest of the unit is somewhat tired everything was clean and well appointed. Office, cleaning and grounds staff are a highlight of the Hale Kai: friendly, accommodating and professional. Mahalo for a wonderful experience yet again."

"Oceann View at 214
Partner & I had a wonderful time in our Maui condo. The location was perfect. Right across the street was an amazing Health Food Store. Were we went to everyday and sometimes twice a day. Next to the condo was a park. Perfect for mediating. We enjoyed runs along the beach. Look forward to returning to Maui for a conference. "

"Like Being Able to Go Home
My wife and I stayed at the Hale Kai (#214) for our 2nd honeymoon. It was exactly what we were looking for and more. The accommodations were clean and practical. The furniture was a little dated, but that didn't reflect on our stay there. Probably the most amazing part of that stay was the sunset view from our lanai. Wow! There were some needed minor repairs on the the windows and front door, but in general, we had an awesome stay! Mahalo!"

"Great Location, Very Laid Back
Small beach front complex nicely maintained with excellent sunset views and easy parking. Unit was well equipped, staff was helpful.
Snorkeling/swimming from small beach next to pool. Lots of coral and fish. Entry and exit to deeper water beyond the reef is a bit tricky due to rocks/coral so recommended only for experienced swimmers. Outside showers at pool to wash off sand. Comfortable lounge chairs with some umbrellas.
Really liked the setting and I plan to return."

"Great view, good value
Hale Kai is a charming old Hawaiian style condo complex on a perfect beach front location. You can watch the turtles frolic while swimming in the ocean, take a dip in the pool, shop at the Farmer's Market, stroll along the beach or just sit on the lanai and relax! It's quite wonderful!"

Rental unit was clean, very well equipped - best we have ever seen in a rental condo!! Bit of traffic noise at times, but not intrusive. Laundry facilities on property. Beach out front rocky.

We ahd a wonderful time as usual. This was our 10th time at the Hale Kai. So obviously we love it. We do not usually stay in this unit and it was fine. What it lacked in kitchen amenities it made up with many many hats and a ukulele."
