Tennis Delight

I absolutely loved the tennis court at Kihei Akahi! It featured both tennis and pickleball lines, allowing for a great variety of game play. It was well-maintained and provided a fun way to stay active while enjoying the beautiful Hawaiian outdoors. I spent several afternoons there, and it became a highlight of my stay.

Beautiful Pool Area

The pool area at Kihei Akahi is fantastic! There are two pools to choose from: one that's more adult-oriented and another that's great for families. The pools were always clean, and they came with bathrooms and BBQ areas, which made for a wonderful leisure spot after a day of exploring. I truly enjoyed lounging around and meeting other guests here.

Well-Equipped Condos

I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities in my condo at Kihei Akahi. It was equipped with beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels, and even a fully stocked kitchen. This made it super convenient for beach outings, as I didn't have to worry about bringing my own gear. It felt like a home away from home, making my experience all the more enjoyable!

Convenient BBQ Grills

The BBQ grills by the pool were a great addition to my stay! They were well-maintained and provided a perfect opportunity to cook meals while enjoying the beautiful Maui weather. I loved preparing fresh meals outdoors and dining under the stars with friends I made during my stay.

We had an amazing family vacation at Kihei Akahi, booking a 2-bedroom condo that was perfectly equipped for our needs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beautiful Kamaole II beach and close to shops and restaurants. However, our friends who stayed in another building experienced a very different atmosphere due to noise issues and some challenges with the management. Overall, it's a lovely spot if you pick the right unit and manage your expectations.

Rooms

The condo we stayed in was well-equipped and very comfortable, with everything we needed for cooking and enjoying our time. However, I heard from friends that the D building might not be ideal due to noise disturbances.

Service

While we had a good experience with our condo owner, I heard complaints about the property manager being quite aggressive and unhelpful, especially regarding parking and noise complaints.

The location is incredible, just minutes from Kamaole II beach, which is perfect for families. There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby, making it convenient for all our needs.

The pool area was clean and inviting, with BBQ facilities available nearby. It was well-maintained which made it a joy to use.

The Kihei Akahi is a decent spot with its proximity to the beach and various dining options nearby. The views are beautiful, and my unit had a well-equipped kitchen. However, the service left much to be desired, especially with a rather aggressive manager, and the overall condition of the facilities, especially the furniture, was quite disappointing.

Rooms

6.0

Our unit had a spectacular view and a well-appointed kitchen, but the living room and lanai furniture were atrociously uncomfortable. The overall condition felt dated.

Service

5.0

Unfortunately, the service was subpar, highlighted by the manager's aggressive attitude, which really put a damper on our stay.

Location

The complex is conveniently located right across from a lovely beach and has plenty of nearby restaurants, making it an ideal spot for dining and leisure.

The facilities included a standard-sized pool and some tennis courts, but overall they felt basic and not particularly appealing.

6.2/10

The Kihei Akahi complex has potential with its great view options and well-maintained barbecue facilities, but my experience was overshadowed by constant noise issues and a less than ideal layout. I loved the idea of being close to the beach and the cleanliness of our unit, but I struggled with noise disturbances from both the nearby pool activities and the walkways. The walk to the beach was longer than expected, and the overall loud environment made it difficult to relax. Not the best choice for those looking for tranquility.

Rooms

6.0

The unit was clean and well-kept, but the layout was a bit odd, especially in the bathroom. I found the small window over the closet left the room dark during the day, making it rely heavily on artificial lighting.

Service

5.0

Although the owner seemed to care about maintaining their unit, it felt like the property management might have overlooked the importance of fostering a more comfortable experience for guests.

Location

7.0

The location is decent, with Kam II within walking distance, but be prepared for a challenging uphill trek back after a day at the beach. It's not the most convenient spot for elderly guests or those with mobility issues.

Dining

Facilities

7.0

The complex had beautiful grounds and well-maintained barbecue grills, which was a nice touch. However, the noise from neighboring units and outdoor areas was a continual issue.

I had a great stay at this resort in Kihei, primarily due to its stunning views and proximity to beautiful beaches. The unit itself was clean and well-appointed, but the furniture didn't quite meet my comfort needs, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there are definitely areas that could be improved for a future visit.
