Luxe Maunalani Resort Condo w/ Pool + Beach Access

Susan

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean and well furnished condo. All the keys, remote controls, information, and passes are well organized. Plenty of spices are provided to make food prep in the home great. The beds are very comfortable. I would love to know the manufacturer and model of the mattress in the master bedroom? One of the best condos I’ve rented. Mahalo for the wonderful stay in your home!

Tasteful, peaceful, great location

We have stayed several times at this lovely, very clean, spacious condo in the gorgeous and quiet Mauna Lani area. The location of the condo is excellent, just across from the pretty pool and close to the complex entrance. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of counter space. The condo has very nice furnishings and everything is updated and in good working order. The linens and towels are good quality. There are bikes and beach gear available and each unit comes with two parking spots (the garage and one other parking pass). It’s ideal for a family with three or four older children as there’s a master bedroom and then a bedroom with a queen and one with a trundle bed that can sleep two, with a shared bathroom in between. Nice washer/dryer and BBQ on the lanai. The unit comes with a card to access the gated parking lot at Makaiwa which while a small beach, has a very nice bar and restaurant and good snorkeling. Very short drive or reasonable walk to several shops and good restaurants and other nice beach areas as well as the beautiful Kalahuipuaa fishponds.

Not a good fit for some families

First off, the condo itself and the amenities are great and as advertised. If you do not have kids, this is a great place to stay. However, we were frustrated by the strict community rules that impacted our family's enjoyment of the community amenities. A week before check in, we were provided with a long list of community rules. This isn't uncommon, but knowing these rules beforehand might have influenced our decision to rent a condo in this community. The rules included "no loud or boisterous ball playing is permitted in common areas" and "Running, jumping, and horseplay are not permitted in the pool area. nor is yelling, screaming, or boisterous behavior." Anyone who has kids between the ages of, oh, 3 and 18 knows that these rules will be difficult for them to follow. They're on vacation; they want to be loud and boisterous. You might think, sure, everyone has restrictive rules to protect themselves from egregious violations. But in this case, they were strictly enforced. Another family in our travelling party was given a written warning when their kids dared to play (not even with a ball, mind you) in the common area behind their condo. Our children (5 and 8 years old) were yelled at by an adult for playing in the driveway in front of our condo. Again, if you don't have children, none of these rules should concern you. I only leave this review for families to take into consideration how this might affect their enjoyment of the amenities in this community.

Wonderful condo!

We had an excellent time at this beautiful condo! Close to the beach and other activities while still feeling private and relaxing. The very comfortable bed and pillows were an added bonus!
