Best Value in West Maui -- Oceanfront 1 BR -- Hale Ono Loa 403

Great location, swimming pool and a great reef for snorkelling just from the back of the property ( steps straight to the ocean). A bit hot and no air con but apart from that we had a fantastic time .

I always look at the pool. Nice pool area with a couple BBQ's available. Pool had a deep end .. . 9 ft? Totally clean and perfect temp.

The room was good and all kitchen items available. Toaster, mixer, microwave, dishes and silverware, pots and pans, everything including nice wine glasses. Various condiments were there, all the salt/pepper, olive oil for cooking, steak seasoning etc. Coffee filters and coffee maker of course. It wasn't the Waldorf Astoria, but for a place to stay and enjoy cable and movies, it was fine! NO complaints . .

Key is needed for the pool area and to access the ocean behind the property.

I read that all beaches in Hawaii are public, but accessing them can be difficult. There isn't a sandy beach behind this property, but a couple blocks down there is a park with sand. The whole area (west Maui)has dozens of beaches and I did see some sea turtles here, (behind this property).

We were there for an unusual heat wave, and it was mid 90's several days. Coming from a colder climate, AC would have been a huge plus. But there are ceiling fans and box fans so with the ocean breeze it was manageable.

An important point is that I always felt safe. There isn't a party crowd, it seems like a more relaxed and secure environment. My wife always locked the doors but I didn't think it was necessary. There wasn't a single incident of questionable characters in the area.

I did meet the manager as I had lost my parking pass. Nice guy, very helpful and no issues with replacing the pass.

Research the beaches. A picturesque walk and rocky beach for snorkling is north. (honolua bay). Nice big rolling waves on a sandy beach is fleming Beach! I was rolled up several times here. Nice waves. Stay safe ok?

I saw the most sea turtles at a beach .. hmm... go back toward the airport (south on 30). Past the Kaanapali exits. . . there is an overpass and then the first turn to the right goes into a roadside park. There is a canoeing club there. I know the turtles move around but the one of the ones I saw was massive. Big as a kitchen table. It almost ran into me.

Ok, Go enjoy the beaches. Snorkling is my favorite. But there are beaches for everything. Learning to belly board or surfing, to diving. Amazing adventures to be found.

Parking can always be difficult (not at this property) but finding beach parking. I thought all parking spots, even at stores were small.

Hope my review helps!

We had a really nice stay, and enjoyed the location and amenities. The property is in excellent condition. The unit could use some updating but served the purpose well.

Property as described, great location and views.

This is a gorgeous little apartment with restaurants and coffee stores just a walk away. We’d definitely recommend walking down the end of the street to the food trucks for dinner one night, we had the best tacos there!

It’s a beautiful view from the balcony, the other people staying in the block were so lovely, we learned to play shuffleboard, and enjoyed the sea breeze while watching the sunset.

We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Maui.
