View in 410 was spectacular. Obv we didn't spend much time in our room but accommodations were good, everything clean and the bed comfortable. It is between active areas so quite but close to things. Snorkeling out front was great, reef with turtles and tons of fish. Beach sunsets were incredible.

Great location- quieter than the middle of Kihei and closer to Makenna beach. Beach is nice and less crowded than other areas. Walking path to the bird sanctuary is nice with turtles spotted by the boat launch. Room was clean and spacious. Bed was awful and moved everytime we took a breath. They had noisy tree trimming starting at 7am- interesting to watch but would have been nicer to wait until at least 8 like they ask guests to do. Parking is free but TIGHT.

Absolutely loved our stay. We had a beautiful view of the beach and pool from our room. Service was great and having rentals, a store and spot to book excursions (Tracy is the best!)were great to have. The restaurant was not ready when we were there so it was a nice walk down the beach to hit places to eat. We will definitely be back.

Stayed here for a week. Great location and the beach attached to the resort is beautiful and stretches very long along the coast. It's close to Kihei Foodland and many other food options. It's also right beside Wailea which has the upscale Shops at Wailea for shopping. Beach towels can be exchanged everyday and room service by default is every 3 days but you can adjust the frequency. Very nice staff. Hats off to Sela, Paula and Austin for making our stay memorable.

Really nice people who rent paddlebords and kayaks but get an umbrella so you can hang at the beach longer with your lunch and beverages.

Our stay went great. The hotel is super well located and offers direct access to the beach. Rooms are quite big and modern. The laundry room turned out to be really helpful for us (only 3$ and cards are accepted).

We had a great 5 days at Mana Kai Maui. The location is awesome. Near so many restaurants. The beach is beautiful and was never very busy. There is a snorkel and paddle board rental place, and the snorkeling right off the hotel is wonderful. There are coral reefs, tons of fish, sea turtles, and eels. The pool is beautiful and nicely appointed. There is also a deli/general store on the bottom level that has food, drinks, toiletries, and pretty much anything else you can think of needing during your stay. The restaurant at the bottom level was closed for renovation during our stay.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in unit 801A. We had arguably the best location and and view in the whole building, closest to the ocean but high up with a stunning view. The unit was exactly like in the pictures we saw. It was smartly decorated and had modern appliances. The huge sliding glass doors and screen allowed us to blissfully fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean every night. The pool was warm and perfect with several loungers and umbrellas available. And of course the ocean is basically just out the back. The fitness center in the basement had an assortment of working equipment and weights and was popular with guests. Although the basement hallway was off-putting as it was mostly unfinished with storage rooms and such items scattered around. There was also a book library down there in front of the elevators. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The onsite water sports store allowed us to rent SUPs for a great experience on the water. Also, the onsite 808 store was perfect for snacks, drinks, and such for sun-seeking tourists. The location of the Mana Kai was excellent for exploring the town of Kihei as well as nearby Wailea, where the beach path could be accessed for lovely walks (or runs!) by the ocean. We loved our stay
