We had a late Checkin but the service was on point, I was even shown to my room tho it was late and he couldn’t have been any more welcoming. The grounds person I encountered in the morning outside was equally friendly and kind. Place was comfy, clean and slept very soundly. Thank you for the wonderful experience and super close to beach!

When I stayed in the penthouse, this felt like a great secret find, and I mainly wish I had made more use of the kitchen and living space. I will have to come back, and wil have my friends stay in the other rooms so we can enjoy the site more fully! Great staff too, even when I was having a late-night arrival. I'm at least glad I walked across the street to the nice beach multiple times.

First time to Maui, hotel was easy to find , welcomed by front desk agent who was very friendly and had the aloha spirit , checked me in very quickly being it was 10:00p.m. And I was super tired . Room was close by with parking stalls easily accessible which was right outside my room. Room was extremely clean, fresh cold A/C and I had the most pleasant nights rest and woke up to the ocean right outside my door . Mahalo and I will definitely be booking my future stays with their hotel again .

Our ocean view 1‑bedroom suite at Kohea Kai far exceeded expectations. The photos don’t come close to capturing how beautiful and peaceful this place really is. The suite was clean, nicely furnished, and surprisingly affordable for Kihei. The best part was the balcony/deck — every evening we watched stunning sunsets while listening to the sound of the waves. Being right across the street from the beach made everything effortless, from morning walks to quick dips in the ocean. If you want comfort, convenience, and true ocean views without the resort‑level price tag, this suite is a gem.

Everything was just okay. The pool was a pity, not really spacious enough to want to use and the beach this is near is underwhelming. Also so much construction going on and the road outside was closed half the trip which made pickup and drop offs challenging.
