Reviewer Comments:
Hale Kai was recommended to by a friend and we loved it. It is wonderfully quiet, lacking all the tourists at the big resorts, and perfect. First day we watched whales off our lanai. Each morning we walked a 1/2 block off for coffee and pastaries then crossed the street to the park to enjoy our meal. It feels like I'm telling everyone about my secret fishing spot. Mahalo!

The unit (215) was clean and had everything you could ask for. We loved the added touches of laundry pods, coffee, treats, post cards...just a really nice touch.

The bed was comfy and the shower worked well. There's no AC but a good fan and open windows was mostly enough. Valerie in the front office is friendly and responsive. The grounds and pool are well kept. Instructions were clear and helpful. I would definitely stay again!

It was a wonderful stay. First time on the island. Condo was fully equipped. Only area of concern was while taking a shower each day it smelt like sewer was in the water. I heard from a couple of other tenants right before left there had been problem with the lines in 209 so you might want to have that checked out. Everything else was amazing. Thank you

Maybe it was just a issue that week. Bed and linen super nice and extra blankets and pillows a plus. We own a beach rental in Cali so love to hear about the comfort aspects from our guess. Will be back. Mahalo.

We enjoyed a full anniversary week in Hale Kai #215. The location was perfect, just above the pool with a great ocean view. Amazing sunsets from the Lanai each evening. Weather was a bit warm and so we were grateful for two portable oscillating fans in the unit. The bed was very comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes, etc. Beach umbrellas and chairs were available in the closet. Also, we used the outdoor bbq. Residents and guests very friendly. Close to park, shopping, The Fish Market and Farmers Market. We hope to return.

The location of the Hale Kai Oceanfront Condominiums is fantastic, right on the ocean with a park right next to you. We would like to thank both Valeries who work in the office, they were wonderful. They helped with booking our reservation, staying in contact, providing helpful tips, and being available onsite to answer questions, provide guidance, and help me locate my lost watch. We loved our unit 215. The unit had updated kitchen appliances, bathroom, and the owners did a beautiful job of decorating. David, who maintains the property grounds, does an incredible job keeping it beautiful and appealing. We think of everyone at the Hale Kai as family and we look forward to returning soon.

We stayed for a week and a half at Hale Kai 215 in August 2022. The condo was very clean, well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated. The kitchen has all the equipment/utensils you need. Even the pull out couch was comfortable to sleep on! The lanai and view is incredible. You're steps from the ocean, sunset side and the pool was a good size and well maintained. Turtles can frequently be seen playing the the waves from the pool deck. We have stayed a few times in Honokawai (this are of Maui) and love it. There's a great little organic market across the street (try the banana bread, pineapple salsa and Lulu koi cream cheese), a fish market a couple blocks away, a food truck area 5 mins walk away etc. Many choices of beaches nearby and lovely historic Lahaina.

We arrived the day of the firestorm. It was WINDY coconuts were falling on the road. We had no electricity or communication and worst no propane (we heard that they've been out of propane for 2 wks) residents were preparing their food going down to the BBQ to find out there was no way to cook their food- We had to toss eggs & shrimp etc. Thankfully Latino mkt opened Wednesday and we got 2 cans of bean, tortilla, cheese to make a burrito which was our only meal on Wed & Thurs - We weren't able to do any of the tourist things & understandably not at no fault of Hale Kai. Don the Mgr? at the condos was as helpful as he could be. The radio kept saying for road conditions go to but that was impossible with NO internet. Don would pass on what he heard. We got a flight out on Friday morning. So please take this into consideration when you read my answers to the question. We weren't able to go anywhere. Luckily the people where nice & the place/view was comforting. I'm sure any other time I'd give it a 5 star....maybe 4 because the propane would have help numerous guest.

Easy check in. Incredible stay - Nothing but good things to say about Hale Kai #215. Property was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this unit to anyone. The undisputed winner in our world were the beaches of Maui. Rent a car and hit as many as you can - you won't be sorry. The Luau's were close and the one we attended was incredible. The real gem was the Lenai at this unit - great view morning and at sunset. We definitely plan on going back!
