Excellent views

Views were great. The condo was very clean. Had to fix the living room sliding door with lubricants to get it to slide. Bedroom slider didn’t work at all. Needs a facelift but that did not affect usage. Was there for two weeks. Even with the minor issues , I would stay there again.

Our room had great views. We saw whales and sea turtles every day. Even though it was just two of us, it was great to have the space to move around The air conditioning was not working when we arrived, it really was not needed. We never even turned it on when they fixed it. Great ocean breezes. Parking very easy. Friendly staff at the resort. Great communication with the host
Nice sunsets too

This condo is old and is in need of repairs. Most of the windows either don’t open or rattle and when the wind blows they whistle. The inside doors all stick or drag the on the floor tile. The kitchen is very small with little counter space to prepare foods. The Refrigerator does have an ice maker but there is no water to it! The A/C didn’t work and the location of the condo is right in front of the elevators. With no A/C the windows/slats had to be open and you get all the noise from loud people coming and going on the elevators. Parking was always full and you have to park a distance from the entrance. The only thing this condo has going for it is the view from the Lanai.

Royal Kahana 1212 a perfect stay

I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the constant gas leaf blowers noise and yard maintenance. Between this property and the neighboring building there was constant leaf blowers on weekdays. Haven't they heard of electric blowers? Very irritating for hours on end. The sound echo's off the buildings an it seems like they are right next to you even tho we were up 12 floors.

Ocean front view

This is a decent 1 bedroom condo with all your basic amenities. Very small kitchen and bathroom though. The view is fantastic (we saw turtles every day) but the balcony can get pretty toasty in the afternoon sun. No worries though! The pool area has plenty of places to chase the shade if full sun is not your thing. The bbq area is well maintained as is the building in general. The pool is heated but sometimes too warm (reached 95 F). There are plenty of amenities nearby including a few restaurants, a couple of convenience stores and a couple of snorkel/paddle board rental shops. We also liked having the bus stop nearby that could get us as far south as Lahaina. If you have a car you are paying $10/day to park.

Whale of a condo!

The views from this condo are amazing! Sunsets, turtles, whales, rainbows…superb! The condo is clean, outfitted nicely and in a great location with walking distance to several restaurants. My Perfect Stays are incredible hosts. The level of communication and attentiveness was outstanding! We deducted a star as the bedroom mattress really needs to be replaced and the sofa is not very comfortable for long periods of time, like when you are watching tv in the evening after adventuring all day. At the very least the cushions on the sofa need to be replaced. I communicated this to MPS and they said they would pass it along to the owners, so hopefully that will be improved upon. We left our hoodies behind and MPS have been exceptional about contacting housekeeping, locating the hoodies and will be mailing them back to us. We couldn't have been happier with the service and the comforts of home at this condo. We will certainly look at My Perfect Stays to book our next trip to Maui.

The property has a fantastic view and is in a good location to get around the area. We used the outside deck every day and were able to look out at the water. It was comfortable and as described. The property management team was very communicative and there was always someone available to respond when needed.The key issue we had with the property was around cleanliness and the utensils available in the kitchen for cooking. We had roaches, live and dead, while we were there and we also noticed that many of the kitchen materials were not cleaned well. These two things were probably connected. The rest of the apartment seemed to be cleaned well but the kitchen was a problem. We had to clean everything before we used it. As for the bugs, we did make them aware when we discovered the issue and they offerred to send someone to spray but we did not want that with just one night left. However, it was enough to deter us from cooking in the apartment which is what we typically like to do.If they update some of the materials and correct the bug issue, I would stay again and give it a higher rating.
