Makena Beaches

The Gardens at West Maui are a nice home away from home. While you won't find all the bells and whistles like all the neighboring resorts what you will find is a comfy bed, a washer and dryer, a kitchen to cook with all the tools, a shower with good pressure and decent hot water I say that because it wasn't always screaming hot like I like, Personal preference. While you have to clean up and do your own housekeeping if that doesn't bother you this is the place for you! What you get in return...ample free parking, right across the street from Napili Bay, right next to golf course and trail. The one bedroom has two bathrooms so if you're not into sharing with a significant other you'll have your own. I found this condo to be quiet and affordable, While I didn't have a sweeping ocean view, I had great internet and cable and my own ice maker. I found myself enjoying comfort over view as I just had to walk across the street. I enjoyed the roosters they have personality so if you don't think you like hearing that pack a mini fan to drown them out. The pool was warm and the hot tub was hot not sure why some people where saying it isn't. The bbq doesn't get very hot but maybe that was user error. The grounds where nice the front office lady was extremely inviting and helpful. This place is affordable and comfy and for the most part quiet, I didn't have any noisy neighbors. This is an honest review and I will stay here again when I return to Maui.

I liked the size of our dwelling and the ocean view is phenomenal!!

This is my 3rd time staying here - the last time was 21 yrs. ago. It has since been remodeled. The property looks nice, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Love the ice cream shop. I do feel some of the rentals were too costly in light of the resort fees/taxes you have to pay. The room wasn't the cleanest, especially the shower area, and water leaked onto the tile. The lighting in the bathroom/grooming area isn't great. Housekeeping is hit or miss. The fitness rooms have no clocks, towels, or cups for the water dispensers. It would have been nice to know I needed to take a towel and bottle. This is the first hotel I've stayed at that didn't have towels or cups. There were disinfectant wipes for the equipment, but that doesn't help when sweating. Overall, I was pleased, but be prepared to have a hefty bill when you check out from all of the fees in addition to any food, beverages, and rentals. That doesn't include parking which is a separate fee (I didn't have).
