Palms At Wailea Maui

“We loved this place - twice!”

This was our second stay at The Palms of Wailea. We loved it the first time (Apr 2014) and we loved it again (June 2023). This time we booked 2 condos, #1205 and #406 for our expanded family. #1205 is a 2 BR ground unit with a garden view and was a short walk across the grounds from the pool. #… more

This was our second stay at The Palms of Wailea. We loved it the first time (Apr 2014) and we loved it again (June 2023). This time we booked 2 condos, #1205 and #406 for our expanded family. #1205 is a 2 BR ground unit with a garden view and was a short walk across the grounds from the pool. #406 is a 1 BR second floor unit near the pool. Room tips: ground units have less privacy because lots of people walk across the grass, We kept our sliding doors locked when we left the unit for the day. 2nd floor units can be left open and be cooled by the the ocean breeze. The 2 BR unit was very nice even though the furnishings were a little tired and worn. There were some minor issues such as scratches and chips on some of the wood furniture. One of the sliding doors was bent so it didn't slide easily and the coffee maker carafe was broken, but management repaired and replaced them right away. The tile floors needed washing but that could be due to being a ground floor unit with the doors open most of the time. Everything else was fine. The furniture was very comfortable both inside and outside on the lanai. All of the appliances worked well and were clean. We all enjoyed our meals on the lanai of this unit and appreciated the gas grill that was provided. This unit was usually very quiet. We could hear the sounds from the pool across the yard in the evenings, but that didn't bother us. The 1 BR unit was also very nice, but unfortunately had an ant problem. A good exterminator could solve that. We didn't want to have it sprayed while we were using it. This unit had beach equipment provided: chairs, umbrella & boogie boards. The proximity to the pool is great for those that want to be near it. Overall we found the 2 units to be very comfortable and we enjoyed our time there very much. We didn't find anything wrong that was more than normal wear and tear, except for the ants. They were a nuisance, but manageable. If you want perfect conditions you can go to the higher priced resorts. If you want a comfortable, relaxing condo that meets all of your needs - including a big, lovely beach within walking distance (Keawakapu Beach) then I would recommend The Palms at Wailea. We love it there and plan to come back.
