The Kapalua Villas Maui

The Kapalua villas are undoubtedly set beautifully - in a manicured gated community and provide a wonderful base from which to explore the island. However, please be aware that there are some significant extra costs associated that aren’t immediately advertised which, if I’m honest, do detract from the experience and would be better factored in from the outset ….. 1) You will pay a substantial daily cleaning fee, regardless of how much mess you make. This also does not constitute a daily maid service and you are still expected to take all your trash out upon departure!! 2) There is an obligatory ‘damage protection’ fee, regardless of whether you damage anything or not!! 3) The standard daily resort fee ….of course!!! Once you get past these extra costs, the condos are well furnished and comfortable ….. but nothing ‘high end’. The village has a handy ABC store and the drive to/from the airport is easy and takes approximately 50mins. The beach is a short walk and is very beautiful, but does get quite busy. All in all, I suspect there is better value for money on the island as this place is a little ‘style over substance’.

Kapalua golf villa 23T 4&5 is very comfy, with a great location and lovely views, set amidst beautiful and lush landscapes. Did a lot of Whale watching from the lanai. (Whale watching boat trip was an extra bonanza)! We swam in the Kapalua beach and hiked the coastal trail, the golf course walkways (all at a walkable distance). The Kapalua Burger shack and Taverna are good close by restaurants. Condo kitchen is also well equipped - we could barbeque and cook home food if we felt like. We were a group of 4 adults. My parents are early risers, wanted to start using the kitchenette early, so chose the living room sofa cum bed- slept like babies! The condo has all amenities, 2 full bathrooms, 2 TVs, washer, dryer, dishwasher etc - a home away from home! Frolicked at the Napili and Kanapalli beaches too and then at sunset got some excercise in the residents' pools.Though it is an old apartment, it has been renovated and the rental is a steal! Best of all no steps to climb after a hard day of having fun - elders loved that! Maui is really the most beautiful and versatile island we have ever visited. Golfers, surfers, snorkelers, nature lovers paradise - loved the magical forest! Enjoyed Maui to the full and already dreaming of the next visit!

Really good size villas. Communal areas within them was excellent and two good size rooms. There were four small swimming pools and good parking. Kitchens were well stocked. Reception was not that helpful which was a shame as the restaurant manager did was great.

We absolutely ‘lucked out’- our villa was stylish, modern and super clean with all the little extras … fabulous for a family of 4 and 3 toilets! Amazing! We were greeted with $700 dollar surcharges as cleaning and taxes are not included but once you get over that you head to the villa for a huge amazing surprise. Reason why I said we did well is because these villas are owner owned so some are not as great as ours was, so you are playing the lottery….. but as for us, a huge thank you! Loved it!

I rented one unit 10 years ago and it was clean and renovated. That is why I want back to the same place. The unit was not clean and smiles, You can smile mold and we had allergic reaction due to simply bathroom and kitchen. completely disappointed
