“Honeymooners...Be smart and book this place!!!”

Aloha Pualani Hotel Boutique

Planning a honeymoon on Maui? Take note!

This is a small 6 apartment complex off Kihei Rd. It is not on the strip; you need to drive about 10 minutes to reach Kalama Beach and the 3 K beaches, where the action is. You will hear the faint sound of cars off in the distance when you sit outside; you will not hear them in the condo.

The location is fabulous! You will feel like a wealthy resident. The website photos do not do this place justice!

We rented the Bamboo Suite. Downstairs is a kitchen area, a living room, and a lavette. Upstairs is the bedroom and a large bathroom. There is a great deck upstairs with comfortable bamboo furniture, including a bamboo mat/rug. You can see the ocean when you stand on the deck. There is a second small deck overlooking the salt water pool (the kind where you can open sliders but can’t step out).

The décor, bed, linens were fabulous. The pool area is amazing. I will leave it at that.

We have stayed in Kaanapali before (visited again this trip) and we visited the Wailea resort area on this trip. Do not stay in the resort areas—book this place instead!! If you visit the resort areas in the evening you will see that I am right.

Be sure to go to Maluaka Beach, the Maui Prince is on part of it. It is a beautiful public beach with a public parking lot and restrooms.

OK…so are you listening honeymooners? Book the Aloha Pualani. With the money that you save you can stay longer or Maui or add another island to your itinerary. (I highly recommend Kauai).

When I returned home I discovered that the Aloha Pualani is featured in this month’s Conde Nast magazine. I was not in the least surprised.

We spent our Honeymoon here for 9 days in the White Ginger Suite. The pictures online do not do justice for this property. It is incredibly beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay in Kihei. There were plenty of restaurants & shopping malls close by and things to do but we stayed close by the hotel and relaxed on our lanai overlooking the ocean and listening to the waves crash on shore. The hotel swimming pool was also very refreshing and treated with salt instead of chemicals, which was really cool. The room was beautiful and very clean. The staff in all was very nice and friendly. They made you feel at home and attended to any needs you may have had. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Our friends stayed at the Sheraton in Lahaina and our place was much nicer than theirs and we had a full kitchen. We would definately return to this boutique hotel and will recommend it to our friends. We got married on a beach called Makena Cove or Secret Beach which was absolutely amazing and a must see for anyone visiting this area.

Upon arriving we were completely blown away by this place! The pictures online are fantastic but they still do it no justice. We stayed during the week of our wedding and had 4 of the 6 rooms booked with freinds and family. My husband and I stayed in the Orchid Suite and our friends had the Bamboo, Gardenia, and Lotus suites. They are all very nice.

We used the outdoor grill almost every night. There is also an outdoor fridge (filled with condiments) and an ice maker which came in handy when mixing drinks.

They have a saline pool and a lot of water toys available to use (boogie boards, blow up floats, snorkeling gear) and there's even beach chairs. There are two full sized washer and dryers with detergent provided. There is a book exchange in the laundry room (take one leave one) in case you forgot one or just wanted something different to read. The beach is just a few steps away across the road. People driving are usually pretty friendly and will stop to let you cross.

The owner Sherry is really nice and so are the ladies that come by to clean, this place is so wonderful and very well run.

I can't wait to go back! Mahalo!

“Fabulous Find in Maui!”

The Aloha Pulani was an amazing place to stay! We had such a great time there!

We stayed in the Gardenia suite - it was quiet, immaculate and had a well equipped kitchenette too! The grounds were gorgeous and well manicured and the salt water pool was very refreshing.

We were very pleased with the location of the hotel in Kihei because it is not too touristy, but is close enough to restaurants, etc. and steps from the beach.

The staff was very friendly and efficient as well.
There is also an outdoor Viking BBQ for the guests to use which would come in handy if you wanted to enjoy a night by the pool.

I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to visit it again soon!

“As nice as I expected!”

I had never been to Hawaii before and frankly I didn't know much about it.

I booked this place based completely on the reviews on Trip Advisor and email communication with Sherry who runs the hotel, which I knew was a bit risky. But I have had good luck with the reviews on TA in the past so I figured I would take a chance.

I'm glad to report that I was not disappointed. I stayed in the Bamboo Room, which was lovely. The entire place is spotlessly clean.

This hotel is pretty much as nice as most of the reviews here indicated. I have no negative comments.

If you're looking to party like a rock star this probably isn't the place for you because its quiet and peaceful, which is what we were looking for. Also they do not accept children.

Its located in Kihei, right off Southe Kihei Rd just north of where the it gets busy. There are plenty of stores & restaurants within a couple miles and Lahaina is about 1/2 hour north. In other words, the location is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

There's a beach right across the street and you can hear it from your room. Its not the best beach in Maui but great for a nice walk early in the morning or in the evening, And great beaches are close by with plenty of free parking.

There's a fancy outdoor grill where you can grill whatever you want. There's also a washer & dryer that guests can use, which had I known ahead of time I could have packed less stuff. Oh well.

I think the other reviews here have pretty much nailed the details so I'll spare you from having to read it again from me.

Bottom line I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to family or friends.
