The pictures on the website does not reflect what the rooms actually look like. They are small and dark. The property looks like an old senior community converted into a beach motel. We stayed in the ocean view studio, however given a room on the ground floor actually provides no view of the ocean. The walls and flooring are not insulated so you can hear a pin drop. Since there isn't air conditioning, you have to leave the windows opened which translates into hearing all the guests and footsteps outside your room. We definitely didn't expect this experience from a "boutique" beach "hotel". The only reason I gave them a poor and not a terrible rating is for its proximity to the beach and the free breakfast. Still not worth over $200/ night. If you're looking for the noisiest beachfront property, then this is your place. At least a television could've drowned out the background bustle and shuffle.

3rd trip to The Mauian, probably my last.
It truly is a great spot, especially for children, so if you are looking for peace and quiet with a sister as I was this past time this is not the place. I estimate 50+ children from newborns to teenagers screaming at the top of there lungs from 6AM until 9PM, and their parents allowing it and even joining in from time to time, (which really is the problem here). The Mauian also does not employ any kind of security so this behavior was just alllowed to go on. Because of the lack of security there is also an influx of "locals" using the facilities, accessways, chairs, parking, and hanging out on the grounds, etc.
2nd trip in February we happened to be there while a large group of "older folks" held a shuffle board torny, not sure which trip was worse.
The Mauian is one of my favorite spots in the world, but people need to realize that I don't want to be a part of there vacations and they shouldn't be a part of mine!

We stayed at the Mauian 2 years ago and fell in love with it . So to round off our trip to America and Alaska this year we decided a few nights at the Mauian to relax on our way home was a good idea.
We werent disappointed, it was like coming home . The staff are so friendly and the complex so relaxing and well kept.
Agreat job was done on the poolside hut and breakfast room, which were being worked on last time we were here.
The grounds and the BBQ areas around the pool are so well looked after.
The rooms have everything you need with the added bonus that there is no tv or radios in the rooms, a welcome change. and thanks to the shutters back and front and the cieling fans , no need for noisy air conditioning . We were on the top floor and sitting on the balcony sipping on a drink at sunset was perfect.
The beautiful beach is a stones throw away .
The Seahouse Restaurant is a short walk away and offers delicious snacks, drinks and meals.
We will definately be back !

We had been traveling the US for 3 weeks staying hyatts and hiltons and were in need of change of pace. The Mauian delivered for us everything that we wanted and needed. This resort is a family paradise - lovely green grounds, beach within 'spitting' distance, no tv and peace and quiet. We had an upstairs unit which had a lovely view of the beach - there is no aircon and you do not need it - the trade winds blow consistently cooling the room and the fans also help to keep the air moving - we loved this place but it is not for everyone, if you are after 5 star pampering and pomp then head to Wailea! continental breakfast is included which was adequate, there are plenty of stores close by to buy more supplies if needed - recommend car rental in maui so you can get around and explore! The pool is small and we didn't use - the beach is so close you wouldn't bother with the pool - the beach does drop off close to the waters edge and becomes deep - great for kids who like to ride boogie boards into the waves from the beach! There was a little surf but not enough for surfboards as it breaks too close to shore!
