Nani kai Hale ..October 1 2006 - Nov 13 2006

I went to maui and joined my husband, who was already there. He was doing a job in Paia. He did the demolition of the sugar cane plant.
We stayed in 3 diifferent condos while we stayed there. Each room was just as lovely and clean as the next. The staff was very friendly, kept the yards and building was very well cleaned and maintained. I would like to compliment Shannon from the office for a job well done. You are an exceptional lady. I got to know her quite well. I had to get up at 530 every morning to get my hubby off to work and it was a wonderful view from the lanai watching the sun rise and go down over the beach in the evening. I met so many wonderful people that own their own condos and I hope to see them again soon. We are planning a trip in 2008. We will be going back there to stay. did I tell tell you about the coffee and donuts brought out to the bbq area on fridays by the staff...mmm good. We cooked most of our meals at the bbq each night and it was like living there, not a vacation.
Even though my hubby worked all week we did get to do a lot of site seeing together on the weekends. We went up Halaekala, did the road to Hana, went snorkling on a cruise, did the helicopter ride over the island, The Garden of Eden, spent lots of time at the beach all over the island. We were also there during the earthquake that hit maui on October 15, 2006. It was 7am in the morning and 6.7 magnitude. now that was scary. But I will still go back. The waterfalls are breathtaking, but mostly the restaurants and shopping are to die for. I loved the shopping,.
Can't wait to get back there and Nani kai Hale.

After a 3 night stay in Waikiki Beach on Oahu, we stayed 6 nights in #609 at Nani Kai Hale. #609 is top floor, end unit completely ocean front!!!! THE VIEWS ARE PERFECT. Kihei is quiet and not glam but we LOVED IT. I would never pay hotel prices for a room with a garden view so this condo was just perfect for us. We were not at the condo during the day usually so I don't know how big of a deal it would have been that there was no AC but when we were there it was very very tolerable with the windows open. I actually think I prefer no AC now since I loved having the windows open for all that breeze... It was spectacular. Did I mention I love this place? I might get repetative but trust me, this place was great. OK so the building is old - the pool is a pool - the elevator is old but didn't scare me. This is not the Four Seasons. This is a condo building with very nice people, very clean and safe conditions on a very quiet section of beach. I would stay here again in a minute no matter what my budget. I would not pay more for a "resort". Nani Kai Hale was excellent.

Great. There were not near as many people as the resorts have, but to us that is a blessing. Sometimes you have practically your own private beach, though not always. I am eager to go back, trying for 2007. I hope you enjoy the included photo from our last stay (one with sailboat).

Stayed 5 nights at the Nani Kai Hale and loved the condo, #303. This one bedroom unit was decorated nicely and was recently refurbished to include new furniture and appliances. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and condiments. Beach towels and a small cooler were also included. The view from the balconly was beautiful and the location (N. Kihei) is central to several popular destinations. The only downside about this unit was the noise from the street traffic when the lanai door was open, and the front desk is closed on Sundays.

I would recommend staying at this condo if you are seeking a quiet atmosphere, don't require the luxurious amenities offered at the upscale resorts, and are working on a tight budget. Aloha.
