We stayed in a different unit 11 years ago so I knew booking here wouldn’t disappoint. Still we were blown away! The grounds are SO well maintained. The unit worked well for our family of 5. I don’t think there’s a bad view from any unit here. We were close to groceries, beautiful beaches and restaurants. When I had questions, they were answered promptly by management. We had a wonderful stay! Understandably things change over time.. we were sad the nice little beach next to the resort had been swallowed up by the ocean, but we still had a great time exploring the rocks, watching turtles and whales in our backyard and of course the best sunsets enjoyed on the lanai! We cannot recommend this place enough.

We loved our time here! It's a great location for families. Property management was very responsive and great to deal with.The Condo itself is on the end, and it's bright and the view is incredible! Since it's on the back/ end however it is quite a bit nosier due to the the road behind it- but for us it was worth the trade off for the view. Our kids are older, so it didn't really matter if the motor bikes or stereos were blaring by... The condo inside is older and well used. I gave it a 3 stars because of it being a bit banged up, but the property itself is immaculate. The condo also had a lot of cutlery and plates, and we appreciated the extra fans. People here respect the pool hours and quiet hours which is fantastic.We loved having meals on the Lanai each day as a family. Kids loved watching the whales!

We were there during the wild fires. We had several residents of the condo make it very clear that we were not wanted there, some regarding fires some not. We had to leave early due to no electricity for days and asked for a partial refund, the company would not respond. No sheets on some of the beds, very dingy in some areas of the condo. Screen on sliding door kept falling off. Definitely could use functional window or air conditioner upstairs. Had to borrow fans from one of the other units.

Reviewer Comments:
This condo unit was a disappointment compared to other condos within Polynesian Shores that we or family members have stayed. The TV system is not user friendly and all the cables and wires heaped into a corner under a strange looking contraption to hold tv looks awful. This condo needs a good scrub, new paint and a renovation. Toilets were slow to flush, upstairs shower is large, but shower head only points into one small corner. The noise transference from next door is annoying - and light on stairwell is covered in grunge. Newer pedestal sink in upper bathroom has chunks missing from sink and pedestal sits in front of pipes and looks awful. If the pedestal sink was purchased to fit over the pipes, the overall look would be better. Condo has the feel that repairs and appliances are purchased and done as cheap as possible and no thought given to the overall aesthetics. The plastic treads on stairs are disgusting. There is much more aesthetically wrong with this condo. Bree, the property manager, went above and beyond to rectify the tv and other issues with this condo. We have no complaint about her, the outdoor maintenance teams, or the location. We will stay at Polynesian Shores again, but not this condo.

Great views from the balcony! Beautiful landscaping and love having access to the ocean. We saw many sea turtles. The condo was spacious enough but could use a little updating - the fan upstairs was very noisy. Great customer service during our stay. Thanks for the wonderful place and great vacation!

We had a great stay at this condo! Loved the view from the balcony and the courtyard area on the property. It was great that they provided toiletries and beach towels, even the reusable tote bag they provided came in handy for shopping. A wonderful overall experience for our vacation in Maui.

We always enjoy Polynesian Shores!This unit needs more knives - should include a set of at least four steak knives!Please turn up the hot water heater temperature. Our guests did not use the downstairs shower for the whole stay as the temperature was too cold. I believe the water heater is upstairs and thus the temperature was warmer in the balcony bathroom shower. Thank you

This was my 4th time staying at Polynesian Shores in the last 14 years, and I have to say it wasn't as good as I remember it being. The added hot tub since we were last there is an amazing amenity, but I would not call this complex family-friendly, ruined by two permanent residents.One man lives in a bottom unit, somewhere in the 120s, and he was the biggest jerk I have ever encountered in my life. My family had a 14 hour travel day with a 3 hour time difference. We got the kids (12, 9 and 5 years old) to bed at about 10:00 PM, but due to the time change, our youngest was up at 3:00 AM. We kept quiet until 7:00 AM, and then got up and had some breakfast. Our kids were so eager and excited to swim in the pool, but we made them wait until 8:00 until the pool opened.After 45 minutes of swimming, the aforementioned man came up to me and my husband and asked us to "keep it down". I smiled and said "I know they're a bit loud, but they are in a pool...they're so excited to be here and swim." He then told me "then maybe you should take them out". I explained to him that we had a 14 hour travel day the day before and they've been up since 3 in the morning, and they just needed to burn some energy off. I was so upset I went over to the pool, closer to my kids, then he kept complaining to my husband, who'd also had enough and told the man off.We were so flustered that we removed our exuberant 5 year old out of the pool (which I regret doing) because he was being "too loud". We understand that kids can be loud, be we do our best to not let them be out of control and over the top. THEY ARE KIDS! They literally haven't swam more than once in the last 2 years of the pandemic, all they could have done was swim in that pool in our 10 days spent on Maui and they would have been the happiest kids in the world.As for the unit #211, it's old, needs to be updated and thoroughly cleaned. Beds very uncomfortable and not a lot of privacy. See my full

What a perfect condo and location for our long awaited getaway! Polynesian Shores is a true treasure. Our rental was very clean, supplied all necessities including beach towels, sand chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. The beds were perfect for our girl’s trip, a king, 2 twins, and pull out sofa. I stayed in the loft and thought it would be warm, but the evening breeze and fan made it perfect. The view from the lanai was one of the best ever (our 6th stay on the island). There are food, drinks, beaches, and snorkel rentals within walking distance. We love this place and hope to bring our 3 generation family back here! Mahalo!

The Condo was cozy and beautiful. My kids really enjoyed the stay! Ocean view was awesome. It's a beautiful to have a cup of coffee with a beautiful Ocean right in front of you :) Parking was a breeze! The condo was handed over neat and clean and the host was very friendly! Having to use the common washer/dryer outside the condo was the only inconvenience we had, rest all good :)

Our 1st stay in Lahaina was a Kaanapali resort. This is our 2nd time staying at Polynesian Shores. Comfortable, clean, nicely decorated, pretty well stocked. Responsive management. Great views, nice grounds. Good location, a great alternative to the Kaanapali crowds.There is great snorkeling, however, the small sand beach that was there during our stay 2016 was washed out 2021 and made getting out to the water through lava rock VERY treacherous. Dive booties would have been a lifesaver for climbing over rocks to where flippers cloud be put on.

Condo is in desperate need for black out blinds. At night outside security lights shine in from every direction keeping us awake. We had to use card board over the windows. Very noisy with neighbors talking on their lanai from dawn to late at night. Condo was sufficient but has a lot of stairs. Property is in a good location, good parking and the staff was nice.

We had a wonderful time! Polynesian Shores was great - a townhouse for the price of a hotel and with an ocean view. They even accommodated our early arrival - so appreciated! Loved that there were beach chairs and boogie boards we could borrow. Only complaint was the bedrooms got a bit hot with no AC.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this condominium! It was absolutely one of the most beautiful places on Maui. We had incredible views every day and sea turtles to snorkel with every afternoon. The grounds are beautiful and the condo had everything we needed for our trip. The location was perfect. Close enough to enjoy Lahaina but also a little more secluded than staying right in the middle of Lahaina. It was easy for us to do all of our excursions - Road to Hana, sunrise on Haleakala, snorkeling to Molokini, Helicopter ride, trip to the blowhole and cruising the southern part of the island. All in all I would recommend this place to anyone and I would definitely stay there again if and when I come back to Maui!

The living arrangements were fine, really could of used some AC it was very humid at night a bit rough to sleep when your sweating even with the breeze and extra fans. Had a few run-ins with the maintenance Mgr. Jeff which was a bit annoying TV to loud, kids in the pool to loud, blow up animal was to big for the pool ended up throwing it away etc. etc. lastly, we had to be moved to a different condo last minute, a lot of construction going on.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay here. It is a slice of heaven with a beautiful ocean view. And we able to snorkel and lounge at the beach out in front of the condo property.
The layout of the condo was comfortable, the furnishings were lovely and we loved the master bath. The kitchen had everything you could think of and location of the condo was convenient. The pool, BBQ area and laundry were also appreciated.

This condo was everything it stated on its website. Bree is very helpful if there is ever a need. The complex is relatively quiet that it even has quiet hours after 10pm. So if you like to stay up late and party loudly this may not be your venue. We, however, enjoyed it immensely. Would definitely return.
