“Fabulous stay!”

Maui Sunseeker

Aug 3, 2008

We just got back from Maui and had a great time. This was thanks largely in part to the place we chose to stay. We're so thankful that Tripadvisor helped us find this property - it was exactly what we wanted and needed to get the most out of our stay.

We were in room 12, which has beautiful, vaulted ceilings. The kitchen was great - well stocked with equipment - and a trip to the grocery saved us a lot of money on meals - allowing us to splurge on dinners.

Our room was next to the stairway that leads to the deck - which we used a lot. The view was great - perfect for breakfast! One word of advice though: if you're there while there's a party crowd that could be a little loud. As it was, it was a quiet week, so we didn't have any issues with noise.

We also loved thoughtful touches like beach towel service and a small cooler for use on our various trips to beaches and parks. We made good use of the free wireless access - as well as the freebie computers by the deck.

Also of note: the beach across the street isn't the best in Maui - however, it was a great place to start a walk. Plus, it's not far to any number of other beaches. The location on S. Kihei Rd. made it easy to get to anywhere we wanted to be.

And what can you say about the staff?! We loved Eddie & Co. They had so many great tips - we felt like family and we sad to say goodbye.

To sum up - a clean, comfy, super-reasonably priced room in a great location! While the Maui Sunseeker may not have the pool scene or fancy-schmancy bars and spas like the big resorts - it has tons of charm, personal attention and a location that can't be beat. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This is a simple, no-frills place. It's clean and friendly. It could use an update, but at least there are NO kids around. It doesn't have a pool, but the location makes up for it.

I'd stay again. It's charming.

1/1 found this review helpful

My partner and I have stayed at the Maui Sunseeker several times and we have never been disappointed. We love Eddie and Joe. They have always been gracious hosts and made us feel right at home during every visit. We have stayed at other properties on Maui but the Sunseeker is our favorite by far. Our room was clean and well stocked. We have hosted parties on the roof and down in the gazeebo with friends and other resort guests. The services, massages, and hospitality we have received during every visit is the reason that the Maui Sunseeker is our favorite vacation destination. We can't wait to go back again.

My partner and I just got back from 3 nights at the Sunseeker and enjoyed every minute of it. Joe is a great guy and goes out of his way to make you fell welcome. He gave us a couple of great suggestions on where to eat and what to do. We meet many other couples during our stay, yet the place felt like you had it to yourself. Can't wait to go back.

“We'll be back again next year”

Maui Sunseeker

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco, California
May 16, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Spent seven nights in the Wailana (back) portion of the Sunseeker. I honestly didn't even think about the fact that they photocopied me and my partners id's. It was so inconsequential.

As for Eddie... he's a talker, sure. I can also imagine him getting sassy if he's not in a good mood. While I can see how this would be off-putting, it is Kihei and he is the gay. He let us borrow his boogie board for three days and I don't feel as though he was at all intrusive. I've got to give Joe a "shout-out" though. He's really adorable. I had a mean headache all day Monday, and he brought me Advil or something like that.

We only hot-tubbed once on the rooftop, and it was by no means too hot. Granted, our neighbors had been in it, and maybe the heat had time to escape before we got it.

My bed didn't feel like it was too hard, then again I like it firm. Our rooms were well-stocked with amenities we needed and Romie kept it very clean.

I'm not going to try to refute all of the other things that people found fault with. I'm sure that they are justified in their complaints. I just wanted to point out that for the price, Sunseeker was exactly what I needed it to be. Central, clean, and not just "gay friendly" just gay. My partner and I plan to return to Maui next year. We fully intend to ask for Wailana Room # 11.
