Our experience was similar to that of "ANGRYINOAHU" and also felt like it was a very high priced camp! The first clue should have been when we called for directions at the junction of the road leading to the crater and received no help, only the comment that we would be the last guests to check in that night, still... more

The Kula Lodge is the biggest tourist ripoff on Maui. The pictures and articles about it in the tourist magazines are not a truthful account of the place. To state that they might be a stretch of the imagination is the same as saying the moon is made of cheese. The room that we had was definitely not handicapped accessible.... more

For travellers looking for a pleasant lodge to stay when visiting Haleakala, the Kula Lodge is perfect, it's conveniently located downslope from the Haleakala crater, it has a very good restaurant with a great view of the lodge's garden and a panorama of the rest of Maui and a fireplace in the lobby to enjoy the cold nights upcountry. The... more

We made a reservation at Kula Lodge after trying to figure out how to get to the top of Haleakala for sunrise without leaving Ka'anapali at 3 a.m. We decided to spend the money to stay overnight at the lodge so that our kids (13 and 15) could have a fun experience and we could actually make it up to... more

We came here for Christmas dinner and had booked weeks in advance. We had no welcome or even anyone at reception to greet us. We were then taken to a table set for 4 people even though there were only 2 of us. One main course was cold even though it was supposed to be hot pasta the other was... more

This is a good place to stay for one night if you don't want to travel far to see the sunrise at Haleakala. It's about 40 minutes to the crater. If you book Vista Chalet #1 like we did, you will enjoy your stay. The lanai has gorgeous sweeping views of the Maui peninsula (not all rooms do, I think).... more

I decided to have my wedding ceremony on their garden terrace & since it's a small one, my husband and I decided to have the reception at their restaurant also. We also booked two rooms. Worst things happened couple weeks before our wedding. The Manager who used to take care of weddings, quit without even letting me know (as a... more

NO TV, NO PHONES, ON MAIN ROAD WITH TRAFFIC NOISE, beware. We are not picky, but when we paid over $200 a night (we were in-season, I think it was $250 actually), we expected the place to be quite nice. We stayed in four places in Maui (we were there for almost two weeks) and this was the absolute WORSE... more

Planning a visit to Hawaii from my computer in Japan, and having read the Fodor's guide (which incidentally I rate as "terrrible" [try lonely planet - much better]), we noted that the Kula Lodge was rated as a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch on an ascent or descent of the Haleakala mountain. So I looked up the... more
