Noelani Condominium Resort

I loved this place. It was way better than I was expecting, the photos didn’t do it justice. Our unit was right over the pool and we had a great view of the ocean. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen on a holiday. It had lots of cooking utensils, toaster, fridge, and some spices. Most small kitchens I’ve seen are much more basic. I loved the two story size of the buildings, I prefer the smaller hotels/​condos to the towers of which there are many on the island. It was really easy to get to a beach and it was great to see the turtles swimming just infront of the hotel. The welcome breakfast where they tell you about the island and can make reservations for activities was also helpful. I would definately go back again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time and will definitely return. Location of this resort is spectacular… Few mins drive to old town Lahaina. We enjoyed the sunset views, the live music around the pool, Mai tai night, the food truck was convenient for our 1^st night at the resort. 2 pools with 1 being heated. The Hot tub was great.

ROACHES, ROACHES, & more ROACHES!
My husband and I recently stayed in Unit 211, our second time in this particular unit, and third time at Noelani. After our last visit in October, we informed the front desk of several cockroaches that we had smashed in the unit, thinking they would take some action and get things cleaned up. When we returned this July, we didn’t even think about the roaches, because housekeeping in the past was great. However, after checking in, we stepped into our unit, and I immediately noticed that the room wasn’t very clean and had a funky smell to it. The carpet wasn’t vacuumed, there was grime build-​up on the floor near the stove, toothpaste splash on the mirror frame, sand on the shower wall, previous guests’ (?) long, thick, wavy black hair on floors and walls in the bathroom and the living room (I have short, straight, thin brown hair). And the nicest surprise of all was the huge, 3 – 4 inches long body cockroach crawling on the wall below the TV. My husband was able to smash it, so we didn’t think too much of it. However, in the next TWO days, we ended up finding and killing over a dozen roaches in the room. They were everywhere! And we had all our food refrigerated, including the cereal. We know that’s a tropical island will have roaches, but we also know that they like dirty places cause that’s their food source. So, we finally went to the front desk and told them what was going on and they tried to blame it on us, saying we leave the doors open for them to get in, despite the fact that we found most of them under the kitchen sink and in the closet on the same wall. And we did not leave our doors open because we had fans blasting at all times cooling the place down since there’s no AC. When we asked for a different room, we were told that we would have to pay extra for an upgrade. We didn’t ask for an upgrade, just another cleaner room with minimal roaches. And they were just so rude about the whole thing, as if we were inconveniencing them with our roach issue. When we got back to our unit, a little frustrated at their handling of our situation, we finally noticed that the metal screen on the front door has either rusted off its screws, or was torn off by someone and the holes got rusty. Either way, there was about a 2″ thick opening in the screen which explains why the roaches were getting in. So, back down to the office we go to tell them about the screen, they told us they would call Terminix and spray the unit. SO! Long story short, they came out and sprayed. We were not allowed to be in our unit for HOURS, and then we had to sleep in that unit that night, with all that pesticide. And the roached still didn’t go away! We still saw them, there were just not as many. My husband and I were beyond frustrated at that point, and we didn’t care to deal with the front desk anymore. I don’t think they realize that we are more than happy to give our money to a competitor down the street, especially since we visit the island at least twice a year. We will not be staying at Noelani any more.
Also, we noticed that most of the housekeeping crew was new, which explains the dirtiness of the units. The only reason I’m giving this place two stars is because of the views it offers and proximity to the ocean — those are great! So, unless you feel like paying thousands of dollars to smash roaches on your vacation, stay away from Noelani!

Good staff
Perfect place

Not so expansive
Really a lovely place to go in maui
Thanks for all

We stayed here for ten days with seven people.
Plenty of free parking but no elevators.
Nice pool, chairs, snack bar, grills and hot tub.
ALL of the kitchen cupboards were full of dishes or locked by the owner so we had to juggle to find space for the food we bought at costco and the market.
Comfy beds. Free wifi that was okay. It was warm the first night but cooled off after we had the fans going the next day and aired out the condo.
The washer and dryer are small and it took quite awhile for clothes to dry, but at least they were in the unit.
Friendly guests/​owners who gave us tips on things to do around the island.
Beautiful ocean views! We saw many turtles; others saw dolphins and whales.

Stopped over to join a friend’s birthday vacation after working a couple days on Oahu. I never really experienced a condo rental vacation in Hawaii, as I usually travel w my wife and kids, so this was a first for me.
To me, this was an amazing place to stay. Beautiful, sweeping ocean views, comfortable accommodations, and at least during this week’s November stay, very pleasant weather, with no need for AC. (I do wonder how comfortable this place would be w the commonly hot Maui weather of the summer).
Fully stocked kitchens, accessible pool side grills (cleaned every morning) allowed the majority of the meals to home cooked. (We went fishing one day and got Mahi and Ahi so that made for some amazing meals). Coffee maker, rice cooker, great oven range, microwave, fridge etc, washer and dryer, everything we needed.
Ok so the best way to describe this stay is this. If you prefer a large resort vacation with room service, AC, several restaurant choices, massive pools, large beach access, shops adjacent to the lobby, concierge services, you get the picture, this place isn’t for you.
But if you like a low key location, comfortable accommodations, (reminds me of staying at a friend’s place) then this place is for you. We traveled with 7 people, had 2 rooms and simply had a blast. Staff was friendly and easy to access. We didn’t have any issues and just had a wonderful birthday celebration.

We stayed here last year in August & loved it! There were turtles every night! Not just one or 2 but about 5+.
When we first checked in, we were told we were given a second floor unit despite requesting a ground floor unit. The front staff were able to move us after a day into our stay for to a lower unit where our lanai walked right into a grassy area overlooking the water.
There is a beach to the right of the complex. The sand is rough but it doesn’t beat a beach to yourself.
The unit itself was great & met all our needs. This isn’t a fancy hotel but it was very homey & comfy. Everything was clean. The bathroom was outdated but everything worked. The kitchen was stocked & there were even scuba gear, ice box & other useful misc things in the closet for us to use on beach days.
There are quite a few reviews about how there isn’t AC but the rooms but there were fans & a ceiling fan so it didn’t bother us.
We would definitely stay here again!

We’ve been here since wednesday, and we are checking out today (sunday)z First impression upon arrival, nothing like the pictures they advertised. Rooms were outdated, place looks old. This place needs AC, with this humidity. Front office staff weren’t very nice. Accusations made against us smoking IN THE ROOM and said we would be charged $ 400+. Seems like they wanted to make money out of us. My party in the pool after 10, when we were out. Staff is very unproffesional on the phone. I Called for our broken dryer, guy shows up after 1hr. He checked in with the front office. Then again, they asked him if we were smoking, i said no, guy says it doesn’t even smell like cigarrett. But they kept on asking him on the phone. RUDE! I would never stay here again, poor service and with the price i paid for!

Stayed at Unit #306 (3 bedroom, 2 families) in April 2014.
Very good value, but don’t expect the Four Seasons. The ocean facing rooms and lanai are great for views (faces West, great sunsets.
You’ll see turtles all day from the lanai. A small beach is a few minutes walk, but there are better beaches all over.
Housekeeping is only after 3 days, but if you ask for extra towels etc they’ll help. The unit has a small washer/​dryer.
Right next to the Kapalua airport (car rental is a couple of miles, shuttle likely), and shopping, but far enough north from Lahaina so a bit less crowded.
(Just found that the units had no AC from reading another Unilocal review, guess we never missed not having one).

My husband and I have stayed at the Noelani Condos a few times and love it. there. We always request Unit 218. It’s one of the closest units to the ocean with an unobstructed 180 degree view. The unit is roomy, tastefully decorated, updated and has a full kitchen with everything to make a meal.
The staff has always been helpful and friendly. The grounds and pools on the ocean are well-​kept. There is no A/​C in any of the units, but if you open the windows and let the trade winds flow through your room, it’s a natural cooling system. All units are oceanfront.
If you go during whale season, you’ll see them blowing and breaching right from your lanai. And the turtles love this area. We see them below us every time we go. Totally awesome.
We recommended this unit to some friends for their honeymoon and they thoroughly enjoyed it, too. Whenever they could, they sat on their lanai watching the sun set. How romantic =)
Noelani Condos and Maui No Ka Oi!

Wow factor of 10
Real feel of Maui awaits you at this resort… kick back and enjoy the view, the breezes and the palm trees… a maybe a sunset or 2… breakfast on your lanai and sleep to the waves crashing on the rocks right in front of your unit… there is never a bad day at the Noelani… our unit 112 was a studio and plenty for 2 adults… very well stocked, and we left a few things behind to add to the kitchen… great location, close to everything and real easy access to the main road… cool breezes requires no a/c…infact we used the blanket at night… brrrr…great place for kids as well as us older kids… Mahalo from Sacramento… Book this one, you will not be sorry!

This is a great place to stay with very reasonable rates… no charge for parking either! Noelani is very close to shopping for your groceries… Safeway, Walgreens, yet tucked away from the traffic… also minutes from Bad Ass Coffee and the farmers market. Another great perk to this resort is that they offer concierge service, Bruce, and he is awesome-don’t miss out on the complimentary breakfast and «orientation» when you stay, Bruce is very knowledgeable and HONEST!
Another yet great perk is that you have an ocean view!!! We saw whales passing by day & night!!!
I can’t say enough good things about the outstanding service, from the front desk to the housekeeping, you are truly treated like a VIP, this place is definitely worth staying!!!
TIP: near the airport is a CostCo if you need to load up on groceries :)
TIP: bring your own BINOCULARS!!! you wont want to leave these at home!!!

We are at Noelani as I am writing this in #106. This is the most beautiful location on Maui without a doubt being right smack on the water BUT this condo and resort does have a few issues. I am giving it 2 stars because of the view and the location but really should be less because of the following. First off my daughter and I are getting bitten bad by some type of bug inside the condo at night and they are turning into red welts and itching terribly. Went to talk to the office about it today and I have to say that the manager was extremely rude and nasty about it and said «what do you want me to do about it»? I couldn’t believe it. She said she could move me for 1 night but we would have to move back the next! What good would that do? So instead of telling her what I thought of her and her horrible attitude… I left and thought I would just do Unilocal and Trip Advisor :-) Then we have got 4 people above us that are SO loud and walk around constantly and when walking they sound like elephants. You can also hear their radio bass rattling through the floor. The floors between condos are wood and not concrete which means you hear your neighbors. The bedroom is at the back of the condo so it is not private or soundproof. You hear all people walking by, all traffic driving by, and all other guests in condos next to you. If you are a light sleeper, bring industrial ear plugs!!! We come to Maui pretty often, and for us, we will not return to Noelani and we would not recommend them to anyone!

Just returned to the Mainland after a one week stay at Noelani #216. Had a fantastic time. Bruce, the Concierge guy, was great. Trust him and you’re going to have a fantastic vacation. We’re already looking at our calendar to book a return to paradise. BTW. The turtles feeding at the water’s edge are fantastic and the sunsets are unbelievable. Everybody runs for their cameras as sunset approaches! Also don’t miss the Slack Key guitar show on Wednesday nights at the nearby Napili Kai Hotel. This is a peak at the real Hawaii.

Bring your own coffee. Get creamer, condiments and sandwich fixings (or whatever else at the Honolua Store). Plumeria and Orchid buildings 2 stories in height, all facing either an unheated or heated pool, or hot tub. The Antheruim building is 3 stories tall and seem to be larger/​more expensive units, not having anything but grass on the ground level.

The girlfriend and I stayed in one of the basic studios for a week in April 2012. We literally had no complaints. The reviewers prior to me hit this place spot-​on. I am going with five stars due to the value for your $$$. Here is what you get: the complex is right on the water (you must be okay with the sounds of the ocean!), light crowds at the complex and in the neighborhood, within walking distance of several shops/​restaurants, small, full kitchen, two «community» BBQs for the complex, nice pool/​spa, and the main bus route ($ 1 per ride) is a two minute walk away.
The complex also hosts some events throughout the week — we only attended the BBQ (very tasty) since we were out and about during most of our evenings. Apparently they are working on hooking up wifi in each of the units, but cell service was actually quite good from the complex. Our TV was very dated but we didn’t even turn it on during our trip. A nice touch — the two units I saw had iPhone/​iPod speaker players.
Don’t expect any help with your bags and you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and I absolutely cannot wait to go back again. Walking into our hotel room for the first time felt like a movie! The sunset, sea turtles, and gorgeous ocean view was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend it!

I just returned from a 2 week trip to Maui. I rented a 3 bedroom unit at the Noelani after a lot of research. I was looking for a place in Napili that was affordable, on the ocean, and three bedrooms. I found all of these things at Noelani. We were in unit 305 which has been recently remodeled and is really nice. There is a master and 2^nd bedroom upstairs, both have en suite bathrooms, the third bedroom is downstairs and there is a powder room down stairs. There is a washer dryer in the unit, a nice large dining room table that seats 8 and a fold out couch in the living room. Perfect for a large family. All of the units face the ocean and it has amazing views of Molokai. 2 pools, a spa, bbq’s, and a bar make up the resort grounds. Once a week they host a free Mai Tai party and the Mai Tais are better than any we paid for in Lahaina. There is a paniolo bbq on Mondays that is about $ 9 – 15 depending on what you order, the desserts sell out every Monday so you have to get in line early. The unit we rented had 6 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas and 3 coolers for the renters to use. It was equipped with everything you need-​the only thing you need to buy is food and a stop at Costco after you land at Kahului airport and you are set. Plenty of free parking at the condo is another plus and DVDs you can check out to watch on the big screen TVs in the unit. Really there is no cheaper way to vacation in Maui unless you sleep on the beach. The grounds are immaculate and the unit was spotless when we arrived with all new bedding.
OK-​so here are the reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars. When we arrived with our party of 7 and all of our luggage our unit was upstairs and there is NO elevator. We had surfboards, groceries for two weeks, all of our luggage, and we were tired after a very early morning flight. It was kind of a bummer to haul everything upstairs. Second-​there is no air conditioning in the units. For me this is not a problem because I don’t like air conditioning, but other people expect air conditioning in Hawaii. There are ceiling fans in all of the rooms and when the windows are open the trade winds provide plenty of cooling. All of the units face the ocean, but the front faces the street, so at night when the windows are open it can be noisy from traffic. The biggest downside was the lack of Wi Fi. Each unit has a modem but you need a cable to connect to it, which is provided. However, the cable we had kept coming loose and it was often difficult to get a connection. Plus we had 4 lap tops between us and only one person at a a time can use their laptop. Luckily none of us had really pressing business to do online, so we worked it out. When I booked the unit I thought it was in Napili, but it is actually in Kahana, which is not a big deal, but it was not as close to the beach as I thought. There is a very smalll beach right next to the resort that has picnic benches, and a shower. It wasn’t big enough for our family and the tide was high during the day so you could not sunbathe. Good for snorkeling and shell collecting though.
Finally the staff was really nice and accomodating, especially Will who is like the all around maintenance, go to guy. We will definitely go back!
