"Private Laid Back
Condominiums" :: The Kealia is a condo, not
a hotel. No maid service. This is definitely a do-it-yourself
proposition. All of the units we have stayed in have
been very nicely appointed, but since each unit is privately
owned, they are all distinctly different. Do your homework
and ask questions before you rent a particular room.
The pool is small, but comfortable. We love laying out
in the sun, going for a swim or snorkel in the ocean,
walking the six mile long beach, then a final dip in
the pool. It is so relaxing. Relaxing is what the Kealia
is about. This is NOT about being pampered. It is about
enjoying yourself in paradise at your own pace. If you
like to be pampered, the Kealia is not for you. But
if you want a fairly deserted beach to sun yourself
and relax, this is definitely one of the best places
on Maui - especially given the very reasonable room
rates. There is no nearby restaurant. Plan on driving
or cooking your own. The grills at Kealia are superb
units: my wife and I buy Ono (a local fish) at Costco
and make many of our own dinners to avoid overeating.
We make our own breakfasts in the unit too.
"Value Priced"
:: I just returned from a week at Kealia. Maui is absolutely
beautiful this time of year. I would first like to say
this resort is nice but in need of some minor repairs.
The staff is friendly, however not readily available.
Each unit is individually owned; therefore the condition
of the units will vary. The view was fantastic, we stayed
in #501 a nicely furnished beach front unit. However
the air conditioner did not work very well (very small
unit) and we saw some ants. To dealing with the cooling
problem, at night we locked the metal screen door and
left it open and opened the windows to allow the trade
winds to cool the unit, this worked perfectly . The
beach is absolutely beautiful and about 6 miles long,
the pool and out door grill are in a nice area and the
out area is well maintained. There is no maid service,
so be prepared this is like being at home! Each unit
is equipped with a washer and dryer and a nice fully
stocked kitchen. This really comes in handy. There is
not restaurant on this property only a deli in walking
distance. This is my second time in Maui. I like this
property for the value, but next time I will choose
a property with more amenities.
"Am Coming Back"
:: My husband and I stayed for 9 days at the Kealia
Condos and loved it! It is a quiet place without a lot
of noise like the big resorts. They have 51 units which
makes it a smaller place, but that's why we liked it.
We stayed in Rm. 103 which has an ocean front view and
is a 1-bedroom 1-bath unit. We were literally steps
away from the pool and then a few more steps and then
we were at the beach which borders this property. The
beach is clean, private, and swimmable. The property
has well-manicured grounds, a clean pool, beautiful
beach, and helpful people at the office and Roger, who's
the property manager is always around and is very helpful
too. The people who stay at this condo all seem to be
very friendly and personable. The town of Kihei is a
fun area and is just about 10 minutes South. We bought
fresh fruit at the local fruit stands and everything
was always better than anything we tasted on the mainland.
Kealia Condos are a great value for the dollar. I recommend
that you stay in the units that face the ocean because
the road that borders the property can be a bit noisy.
I am already looking forward to going back and staying
at this property.
