We spent our honeymoon in #403 and had a absolutely fabulous time. We booked the unit from Vacation Rentals by Owner. The condo owner lives in the complex and was so helpful with suggesting things to do, where to shop or eat and answering all our questions. He was also very respectful with giving us our privacy. The condo was a good size, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed and more. The kitchen had every tool and appliance we needed, the bathroom had plush towels and the bedroom had the most comfortable king bed. I am an insomniac and never had any problems falling asleep. The washer/dryer was perfect and there was even detergent for us! There was also beach chairs, snorkle gear, boogie boards and even aloe for our sunburns. But my favorite part was the gorgeous view of the ocean and volcano from the lanai. We enjoyed many meals out there listening to the surf and taking in the view. At night, turtles would come in to the bay. There was always a great breeze throughout the condo. There's an AC unit but we never had to use it even in July. We just opened the windows and the patio door and the condo cooled down immediately. There were also ceiling fans and several smaller fans. The pool was well maintained and never crowded. There's no beach out front but there's one a short distance away. We were surprised that we preferred this. Because there's no beach right out front, it was very private and quiet. The location was also perfect. Being in the middle of the island, we were close to everything. We had a wonderful honeymoon here. Thank you so much, Jerry! We can't wait to come back.

We stayed at the Milowai condos in Maui, in unit 305. There is a parking garage, no charge. The parking spaces are smaller than the ones here in Virginia, as they are all over Maui, but we didn't have any problems maneuvering our Impala into the space. The Waterfront restaurant is downstairs, and althought I thought that would be a liability, we did not hear, see or smell any clues that there was a restaurant downstairs. I did some checking and found out that the Waterfront is an award-winning restaurant, and we had dinner there one night...man it was outstanding! One of the best meals I've ever had, and I'm not easy to impress.
Our apartment was clean and well maintained. The decor was tasteful. The queen size bed was surprisingly comfortable, and I usually REALLY hate hotel beds. There were huge mirrors on the walls in the bedroom (sliding closet doors) and the living room, giving us a more spacious feel. The tub has a sliding glass door and an adjustable flow showerhead, but it is fixed to the wall. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, soap, and many other toiletries we were not expecting to see, such as baby powder and sunscreen.
The unit has a very large capacity washer/dryer (stacked) and detergent was provided. There were coolers and boogie boards, and the freezer has an ice-maker. If we wanted to eat in, there were spices and condiments to cook with, and a bottle of wine had been set out on the table, with 2 goblets. Two big gas grills are on the beautifully manicured lawn, next to a nice picnic table. The pool (you get a key) is gated and very clean, with a gorgeous tile mosiac liner. You will usually have the pool to yourselves!
The true highlight is not all the fantastic amenities...it is the view! Open the drapes and you have the ocean and the south Maui mountains, the sound of the waves will soothe away all of your cares. Many a night we sat on the lanai, hypnotized by the sight of the moonlight dancing on the water, as we sipped Maui Splash pineapple wine.
Although the air conditioner is very small and weak, and clearly not powerful enough to cool anything as far away as the bedroom, I would still stay here again. We spent most days in the car sightseeing. The tiny, inadequate window unit was turned on at night, and there a ceiling fans in both the bedroom and the living room, as well as a pedestal fan in the bedroom which kept us quite comfortable. I really mean it, I HATE being sweaty in bed, and if I had been uncomfortable, I would complain bitterly and not hold back; but we did not suffer, even in mid June. I do not recommend leaving the A/C on all day. The apartment will NOT get cooler, the A/C unit will freeze up and you will be forced to turn it off for a day. This made me irate enough to call the resident manager, and I swear he was at our door in 60 seconds, and explained this to me (very nice guy, sort of a laid-back workaholic). That is the only minor problem we encountered. There is even a trash shute at the end of the hall, so taking out the garbage is EASY.
The building even has a great location, which I did not realize until we'd gotten better aquainted with the island. Safeway in Kehei is about 15 minutes away, and it is a great store, and a great shopping center.
We loved the Milowai, unit 305, and we recommend it.

Hono Kai in Maalaea Bay is a wonderful place to stay. It is centrally located and not crowded at all. It is only a 2-story building some three - because of lofts. We have stayed in Maalaea Bay for the last ten years. All of the condos their are all wonderful on that part of the Island. Plue a great white five mile sandy beach to walk on.

I'm not sure how to write something poor about Maui. Maalaea is only a ten minute drive from the main airport on the Island. As such, you're able to leave the airport and get to your destination in no time. Were you going to Kaanapali or Lahaina, it would be another 20 minutes. We had a one bedroom ocean view and it felt very much like a small apartment. The bedroom and living room were divided by a sliding rice-paper door. There was a balcony that overlooked the pool and the ocean not far beyond. Everything was clean and tidy. The complex sits adjacent to the expansive Maalaea bay beach, which seems to stretch on for some distance with no interruption. It is a magnificent palce. It is very near a port, where catamarans may be chartered for daily snorkeling at Molokini. It's also a short drive to all the islands hot spots. Furthermore, it's as close to Hana as you can get on that side of the island, insofar as all traffic from the north and south sides of the island converge at Maalaea before heading toward the airport, and then to Hana. The staff was very friendly. The only drawback was that, on the weekends, the beach is popular for locals. They don't all appreciate the massive tourist industry. In all, though, it was a spectacular place and the lodging only added to it.
