We’ve done numerous trips to Maui and like to try out different places. This place is definitely one we will come back to. It was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities one would need. The pool was nice and warm and the beach was nice to take a dip in. It was also close to restaurants and shopping.

We enjoyed our family stay in this Royal Kahana condo. Clean and easy check in. Older building but updated interior. Furniture in good condition and comfortable. Great sunsets! Would recommend it!

Overall a great stay. There were AC issues but I still gave 5 stars. The unit was amazingly stocked. Communication was always extremely quick. You can't beat the views and the coffee and water available downstairs were a bonus. Four 50 something year old women had a great time!!

This place was very clean. I could walk to a coffee shop, grocery store, beach, and restaurants which was really nice since I didn’t rent a car. The host provided recommendations for places to eat and things to do so I wasn’t completely lost. I would book again!

I wish I could give this beautiful property a thousand stars. Everything about it is incredible. It was clean, well stocked, the view is a million dollars and it is centrally located. Thank you so much to our host. We can’t wait to return.

Our group consisted of 21 people in 5 different condos all at Royal Kahana. It felt like home. There was construction going on but did not cause any issues or inconveniences. We really LOVED our stay!

Everything was great.
Couple small issues. Nothing serious.
Front door is finicky. Doesn't want to open on occasion.
Everything was very clean. Except for the bathroom wall behind the door. Long black hairs stuck to the wall. Im bald. Definitely not mine.
Really enjoyed my stay. I would most definitely stay here again.
Thank you for the nice accommodations

The condo is super well situated with view and access to ocean and near very nice beaches. It is outdated a little except bathroom and kitchen. View from the deck very nice. For the price, some amenities could be better.
The beds are not too conformable, the oven is not working very well with no fans. There is not enough pillows for the pull out couch.

We stayed here with our three teen boys and we all had a fantastic time. Mike provided great advice and instructions. The condo was well equipped and had beautiful views - morning coffee on the balcony watching the sea turtles was relaxing. We could access the beach from a small walkway beside the pool. We stopped at Costco on the way down - the Royal Kahana has 5 large bbqs out back and we used them ! The Beach House, Dollie’s Pub (pizza) and China Boat are all great places within walking distance to eat. Hot complimentary coffee was served downstairs every morning. All staff were very pleasant. The condo has snorkel gear and beach chairs and towels, and after time at the beach, we were in the pool before heading back up to our room. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo !

The Royal Kahana is my go to when I’m in Maui. The location is perfect as it is close to beaches, shopping centers, restaurants, grocery stores with a local vibe. The room itself was well kept and clean. Although the building was going through construction noise did not seem to bother as most of the time I was outdoors at the beach in front of the island. Unfortunately I arrived to no hot water for 3 nights. I sent the host a message and she responded right away unaware of the problem with little that she can do. The staff in the condominium were pleasant but also had no info on when the repair would occur given that the part was ordered from the main. I had to keep reminding myself that it is an island which can have limited resources on parts needed for the repairs. Overall I still love this building and would stay here again.

This unit on the 10th floor was wonderful. Full ocean view from the lanai.
It is a large apartment type building that has many amenities.
The unit was perfect for us and we would stay here again!

We loved our stay at Royal Kahana! The unit, the balcony, the pool area, the grilling area all met our expectations!! The location of this property was perfect for all the adventures we had planned. The only downside was upon check-in on Wednesday, June 26th we were notified that the hot water was out and it would likely not be fixed until that Friday. We were bummed about that having traveled a full day that day and would have loved a hot shower but we managed. The hot water was restored on Friday as they anticipated. We would definitely stay here again!!

This was the perfect spot for a short getaway to Maui to celebrate our wedding anniversary! My husband and I absolutely loved the property and location, and the rental itself was very clean, beautifully updated, and the oceanfront views were incredible. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us and we would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

This condo was amazing! The view from the wraparound lanai is jaw dropping. We saw great sunsets and turtles on the beach, and you can hear the peaceful sound of the waves since you’re right on the beach. Plus, the condo is so spacious we had room to spread out. With a trip to Costco it had everything we needed to make some meals there.
I wasn’t familiar with the location but we were so glad we chose Kahana. Not as isolated as and more walkable than Wailea, and close enough to everything without being crowded. Beautiful homes all around particularly to the north. Check in was a breeze.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

The condo was very clean. There was great art work and memorabilia in the condo. Unfortunately we ran out of hot water for a few days. They tried to fix it, but had wait for parts to come from CA. We luckily got a hot shower on the last day. They were also doing construction on the roof for a few days, but that's not the condo owner's fault. Everything else was GREAT!

We only have nice things to say about our stay at David and Nancy's condo. The condo was cozy and had an updated kitchen . We were very comfortable in every room. We had spectacular views and were close enough to the ocean to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves at night. I could spot sea turtles from our lanai daily and rainbows after a rain. Even though we booked through Vrbo, the staff at the condo were incredibly nice and helpful. There was a concierge on the property that helped us daily. The pool was fantastic and the cute food truck by the pool was super fun.
The beach was beautiful and great for snorkeling.
We will definitely try and stay there again for our next visit.

The unit itself was clean and had a great view of ocean. AC could never get below 70. Shower could use a better shower head, water just falls out instead of directed spray.
The building has ongoing maintenance so it was loud during the day with work going on. The parking was fine, $18/night. The pool was nice except no one at the property seemed to take care of it. Debris in the pool everyday. There is a very small beach area so if you are looking for a beach this may not be your spot. If beach isn't a big deal everything else was fine.

The overall stay was pretty much as we expected; the pictures and descriptions in the VRBO listing were right on. The views from the rooms and balcony were fantastic. The bed king size bed was very comfortable. We liked the large shower, which was nicer that the shower/tub combo the we had in a similar unit on a previous visit. The kitchen was also well stocked, only missing a whisk.
The place was getting a little tired; a fresh coat of paint and some other updating could help The only other weakness was the air conditioning. It didn’t cool the place on our first day of the visit after the place was closed. It didn’t really affect our visit since it really didn’t get too hot and the breezes kept the place perfect. I’m not sure how it would be during warmer weather.

We were so excited to return to Maui after 35 years. Covid cancelled our 40 Anniversary trip and now at 45 years we were so excited to visit Hawaii. The apartment was perfect. Everything was just as listed. We had mornings on the balcony watching turtles and seeing the beautiful ocean. We had easy access to everything we needed ( North Shore, Ka’anapali, beaches, restaurants). Our host was extremely helpful and we would recommend their home to anyone planning a stay in Kahana.
Thank you David and Nancy!

I absolutely would not recommend staying here while it's under construction. When I booked the listing didn't mention anything about it yet but from the hours of 10ish am-330ish pm it literally sounded like they were sanding the floor above us or jack hammering through the ceiling. We have a 1.5 year old who needed to nap and there were days during our stay that he wouldn't because it was so unbearably loud. I could barely have a conversation with my husband it was so loud.
The location is very central and it's nice having a private Lanai to enjoy the view. The property was pretty empty so the pool only ever had a few other people there. The beach access is not at the property so if that's necessary to you, find somewhere else. You can see the water and technically walk over the sandbag barricades to put your feet in the sand but it is not a safe area for kids to play or just enjoy the beach because the water comes up so high.
If we hadn't been there during construction I think my review would have been mostly positive but the construction really put a big damper on it. The only way I'd recommend this place right now is if you plan on never being in the room during the day. Mornings and evenings only, you would be fine because the construction was pretty consistently only for a few hours during the heart of the day (it just happened to be right at our kid's nap time).

Location Location, Location. View from the lanai is amazing. Condo and building is clean and well maintained. Some work being done to the exterior, But didn't bother us out on the Lanai. Would definitely recommend the condo as an excellent choice.

Improvements needed - the condo is dated, windows, refrigerator, sliding door need updates and living room sofa and area rug need cleaning. The bathroom is small, it worked fine for 2 of us but would be tight for a family.
Positives - owners provide quick responses, great location and the view is amazing!

Nice stay. We always liked the Royal Kahanna. This year was a noisy with the construction going on. The parking fees are getting ridiculous. It’s getting very expensive to do just about anything there. The room was good. The kitchen island turned out to be very useful. We’ve stayed there every year now for 18 years. Not as much to do with Lahaina gone. Condo owners respond quickly to your concerns.

The condo was outstanding and had everything we could want, especially in the kitchen since we eat in most of the time. The BBQ area near the pool was spotless and cleaned everyday. We especially enjoyed the binder that was in the unit with instructions on how everything worked and different attractions in the area. I really appreciated the special extra items: beach items, extra linens, extra towels and extra pillows. I enjoyed waking up and sitting on the lanai with my morning coffee and watching the waves and turtles swim by.

Cheri is an amazing host. Check in process and communication was smooth. Their home is beautiful and clean. We spent afternoons on the balcony reading, talking and watching turtles swim by. This trip was like a second honeymoon for us and we were able to decompress from our normal daily busy life. We plan to rent from them again in the future.

This property couldn’t be cleaner! Despite its age, the property is meticulous in every way! We loved the location and our room (317) was adorable— updated, meticulous, and everything we could have wanted, with a spectacular sunset view thrown in! We will definitely return to the RK if we have time (we’re 77)!

Pro0erty was relaxing and beautiful. Room was perfect. Outside in the walkways and parking areas were a construction zone not nice at all but a small price to pay for a fabulous overall experience. Also ut wouldve been nice to have someone on the propertt to give us more items like dish soap, shampoo, towels, etc. I ended up buying my own soap and detergent. I had 6 people total in our group and washed towels and swim trunks everyday as we used the pool and went to the beach everyday. Pool area was excellent bbq area excellent property workers were sooo sweeet and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!!! Thank you!!!! We had so much fun.

The condo was beautiful and in the perfect location with easy access to great walkable dining and snorkeling at Honolua Bay. I came for a medical conference and was very glad I was not staying at one of the big hotel resorts. The washer, dryer and kitchen were great and the ocean view from the lanai is even better than the pictures. We are already planning our trip back and would love to book this condo again.

Major construction was taking place on this building during our stay. In fact the construction had been going on for several months yet we were not notified ahead of time. The noise at times was unbearable with jackhammering of concrete right outside our entrance door. When confronted the property management company we used claimed they were unaware and blamed it on the owner for not notifying them. They acted like the victim. They did not offer us another location and suggested we find one on our own or accept a refund of $700. We spent over $7000 to stay there! Buyer beware!
