“Great condo, great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013 via mobile

Stayed here for a little over a week with our 2 children (3 and 6). Our friends and their children stayed in an adjacent condo. Each unit is individually owned and then rented out by Aston. So, there may be some minor differences between units. However, all the units managed by Aston have been renovated within the past year. We rented a 1-bedroom garden view unit and ended up with a surprise ocean view (unit 254, Coconut building). The bedroom was in the loft with a king bed which was comfortable. There was a small half bath upstairs as well although not all units have this. The main living area was spacious with a couch bed. The kitchen was nice with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, all the necessary dishes, utensils, etc. Main bath was large with double sinks and a nice big tub/shower combo. Carpet appeared to be new. Some of the finishes (door handles, baseboards, paint) were not as high end as more expensive places but everything was clean and functional. The lanai was spacious and had a nice table and seating for four. We watched whales play right from the lanai.

There were 2 pools, both beautiful and well maintained. Always plenty of seats around the pool. Kids loved both of the pools. There were other families with children staying here but the majority of the guests and owners seemed to be older couples. They seemed to enjoy having the children around and we always felt very welcome. The upside of the particular demographics is that the resort was peaceful and calm and the pools were never crowded. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Easy access to Kaanapali beach which is gorgeous although not the best swimming for young children. Better opportunities exist south of Lahaina for easy swimming. The free Kaanapali trolley serves this resort and many other key spots on Kaanapali beach. On site laundry facilities are a real bonus. We frequently used the nice BBQs on site as well to cook dinner. As an aside, the fruit stand across the road has fresh local fruit daily.

We received excellent service from the front desk staff and housekeepers. Overall, a perfect place for our family and a great value for our money. Would certainly stay again!

Stayed February 2013, traveled with family

“Very disappointed!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

We were guests of this property for two weeks in February/March, 2012. I see by the reviews of February 2013(especially the review by the folks from Edmonton) that things have not changed much. The grungy, dirty rooms are still happening. We were promised last year by the manager that things would change but obviously, they have not. I sincerely cannot recommend this resort to anybody as our Maui holiday was spoilt last year by this property. The whole experience was a huge disappointment! Beware if you choose to go there, we trusted that we would have a great time in a great place but it did not happen.

Room Tip: Travellers should not need a tip to choose a good room. All rooms at the MVK should be good rooms...

Aloha,
I was very disappointed to read your review. I am truly sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. I would like to apologize for the experience you had here. I would be very pleased if you would contact me back so I can find out more about your stay and the room challenges that you experienced. I would especially like to know what room you stayed in.

“Good Condominium”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Very nice condo. The grounds were immaculate. Overview of the ocean. Every night would use the complimentary gas barbeque. Never have seen such a big barbeque set in stone and marble. Sit around the tables and talk to other guests. Then watch the sunset. Will do this again

Room Tip: We chose a upper floor to watch the whales and view the ocean

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Very comfortable rooms that are clean and tidy. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. There are two pools an a gorgeous beach. The staff are helpful and friendly. We truly feel that this is our home away from home. A great place to unwind and relax. This was our fifth time at MKV and we will return next year.

“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

We have stayed in this condo/hotel 3 times now. It is the best of Maui as far as we are concerned. Quiet and serene with the best views. Our condo was situated 5 feet from the pool, bar/restaurant and beach....doesn't get any better. If you don't need a billion dollar pool with mountain slide, this is the perfect spot.

Room Tip: Make sure you know the condo number you are staying in and google it online to verify it's locat...
