This hotel simply was far above what we expected!!! It is in a GREAT location!!! It has easy access to the Kahului Airport and is right across the street from the beach!! The room was roomy, comfortable and more than what we were expecting!! There was a nice patio were we sat and had morning coffee. There is a pool and hot tub as well as laundry facilities on site. Staff was very friendly as well. We could not have expected more. Thank you you the staff of the Kohea Kai Maui for a fabulous stay for our anniversary!!! We will definitely be back!!

The resort is a gem with a friendly staff. During our stay, Carol, Tevita, and Luseane were very courteous and helpful. For example, they gave us pointers on major sites to see in Maui. They provided us ample, quality snacks in the lobby. It's a relaxing resort with a nice hot tub and small pool. Our room was nice and clean. Thank you for a superb stay.

Excellent Location, Friendly Staff, Very Clean. Stayed for 2 night, room was small but had everything we needed . Nice little table and chairs outside, pool was very cold but refreshing, as well, beach is directly across the street. Rooftop patio is a little tricky to find but worth the adventurer. Not a modern luxury 5 star but still worthy of 5 stars. ⭐️

I stayed for one night on December 14, 2022. It is a smaller and older property, but I found it to be very clean. I was upgraded from a standard room to a Junior Suite Room 323. I think that my room had been renovated. There was a small kitchenette area with a microwave, mini refrigerator, and coffee maker. The room was bigger than I expected. The king bed was a bit too soft for my liking but there was a assortment of pillows to choose from. There was a desk and 2 chairs. The ceiling fan and air conditioner worked really well. The lanai had a table and 2 chairs. There was peekaboo view of the ocean. The shower was large. It took a few minutes for the hot water to get hot but not a big deal. The toilet seat kept shifting. The pool is small, but the beach/ocean is literally across the road. There are chairs, beach umbrellas, and coolers to borrow which is a huge plus. I saw that there were 2 bikes and helmets that you can also borrow, after signing the waiver. There is also a lovely garden area in the back. A BBQ and hot tube are available to use, but you need to reserve these. There are complimentary breakfast and afternoon snacks available. I think that there are only 2 restaurants within walking distance, but you are walking literally on the side of the road alternating with sidewalk. One must be careful as the road is very busy. I had the pleasure of meeting Carol and Lucy who were at the Front Desk. Two amazing human beings. Carol offered me some of her personal food after I told her that I was so hungry and disappointed that there were not more food options/restaurants within close walking distance. When I was speaking to her the next day, she said I should have taken her car. What? This woman doesn't even know me. Lucy was so kind in answering my numerous questions and requests. She was so patient with me, and allowed me a little extra check out time after I told her that I rode the bike to so many places and was in desperate need of a shower before checking out. Thank you Carol and Lucy for being so kind, gracious, and helpful to me.…

Right across the street from the beach. Rooms recently and beautifully remodeled. Upon arrival met a bunch of staff who were extremely nice and helpful. Devita the maintenance man was very nice and provided me all sorts of history regarding Hawaii. We definitely recommend this place.

Stayed here one night in between our other planned lodging. It was adequate for one night. Clean room. Soft sheets. Comfortable bed. One of the nicest views in the complex. Not a place I’d seek next time. Looks like they are investing in the property which is a really good thing. Maybe try and get a better room than we had?

I was supposed to stay at Kohea Kai Maui for my honeymoon, but unfortunately had to cancel my entire honeymoon trip to HI due to testing positive for Covid a few days prior to leaving. I called this hotel to cancel (2 days before reservation date) and was assured I would be approved for a refund. I was then asked via email to provide proof of my Covid positive test and proof of my honeymoon flight cancelations, which I provided. It has been over a month since that email I have received no response from Kohea Kai Maui. I have sent over 4+ polite follow-up emails and 4+ voicemails to the GM (Luseane Moa) and have received no reply. This is a shady and unprofessional action by this hotel. They assured me on the phone I would get a refund and I even provided the proof they requested, and their course of action was to completely ignore me. No explanation, no compromise, nothing. Do not stay at this hotel if you want to avoid issues with the unresponsive, lying, and unprofessional management.…
