With the view you get here, it is such a value. We just stayed for 3 nights here at Maui Kai before heading off to Kauai, and this is the place where we stay when we come to Maui. If you are looking for an incredible oceanfront view for a quarter of the price, then this is the place for... More

The Maui Kai is one of the most unique peoperties on Maui. We did not see any other development so close to the ocean, with such an amazing view! You can watch whales breaching each morning and evening literally outside your back door!! (Bring your binoculars!!) This is not to mention the unmatched Maui sunsets each evening. This trip was...

Thanks to Maui Kai 807 owner Donna Bender, my fiance and I were able to stay at this wonderful condo located directly on the Kaanapali Beach in Maui. We absolutely LOVED the location. One step outside of the property doors and you are on the golden sands of the beach - perfect place for jogging, strolling, and lounging. Every condo... More

This was one of the best places we've stayed at. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The view was amazing. Everything in the room was comfortable and homey. The whales put on a show daily. We enjoyed hanging out in the room since we had such an awesome view of the ocean and whales. It was nice to... More

Upon arrival, I was disappointed for not getting my 60th birthday request of the 8th floor unit. I booked the unit through Donna Bender 5 months in advance hoping to find a comparable unit on the 8th floor since her unit was not available. I was given hope that it may even be on the 9th floor. I practically begged... More

We stayed at this condo due to the amazing reviews on Tripadvisor. Overall, my wife and I had a great time in Maui and at the Maui Kai. We stayed in a studio suite, which had a full updated kitchen and nice bathroom. We booked through Donna Bender. Her unit was unavailable so Maui Kai 807 owner Donna Bender helped... More

This stay was even better than the first time I stayed at the Maui Kai twenty years earlier. We booked a studio unit this time and I perferred it to the one bedroom unit because the bed was near the balcony and the views and ocean breeze were amazing. On the 6th floor we had complete privacy, and we never... More

We spent just four days here, but it is great. Right on the beach, near to shopping and Lahaina. Some loud music from resort next door, but not bad. Small pool but never crowded while we were there. Very nice staff. Not the Ritz, but really great for the price. Will definitely stay here next visit.

We booked a Maui Kai junior suite through owner Donna Bender. We had a wonderful stay! The suite was just what we were looking for - right over the beach and looking out at the gorgeous sunset every night. We loved the private Lanai, and the whale watching from there was spectacular the location was very good, with easy access... More

We stayed in unit 105 a few weeks ago. We checked in around midnight and was initially disappointed with getting a 1st floor unit, however our disappointment disappeared as soon as we stepped into the unit and I realized how close we were to the ocean. I slept in the Lanai the 1st night and still have the ocean sound... More
