"The property location was exactly what we wanted, easy access to the Wailea beachfront walking path and directly on the beach. We had a great time but if you are considering this place you need to go in with your eyes wide open. It was very pricey for how tired this unit is. It badly needs a full renovation. The tile is from the 1980's, the carpet is gross and crunchy. When we arrived late, it appeared someone had tried to break in the sliding doors and that set off numerous R&M emails...

Top Makena Hotel Reviews

Aston Maui Hill

8/10 Good

"We were traveling with 2 other couples. We all reserved 1 bedroom units. We were all upgraded to 2 or 3 bedroom units, which was nice but only two of us were in close proximity. We were near the bottom of the hill and the other couple was at the very top. It would have been nice if we could have all been together. The rooms were nice, the only complaint I have is the AC unit above the bed in the main bedroom was quite noisy. The staff was very friendly and we loved the full refrigerator and stocked kitchen. Having laundry in the unit was also great. The grounds were beautiful and it is easy to go down the stairs to get to the ocean. We were able to walk into town very easily. All in all, we all enjoyed our stay here. I was not prepared to have roosters waking me up at 6:40 but it was cool seeing all of the chickens all over the place."

Maui Seaside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re staying here, I want you to manage your expectations. This is not a fancy hotel for the price you’re paying It is amazing. I really like that. They have a Wii in their lobby, a really good water dispenser, and lavender infused towels. If you want to visit Maui on an affordable budget, this would be the hotel. The activities area at the Center courtyard had Jenga, connect four and a pool. I strongly do not recommend going into the water at the beach there since it’s in the harbor. There are a lot of other better beaches you can go to in Maui that aren’t too far away if you’re from the mainland. The main attraction is the price on being centrally located. The restaurant attached to the hotel is a local favorite for at least three generations now. And as a Strong reminder to anyone who wants to visit Maui on a budget it doesn’t get better than this."
