Decent View But Much Disappointment with the bed!
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We got back from Maui this morning. We had reserved this unit for 8 nights. We specifically asked the owners about the bed to make sure it was a king. They told us it was a California King, which is supposed to be bigger than a king. The bed was horrible. It was 2 child's twin beds put together with a foam mattress over it that hangs over one side. We were very disappointed. My husbands feet hung off the bed. We felt like it was a small step up from camping.
We ended up moving to another condo at the Mahana next door. We were so relieved to have a comfortable bed we were willing to give up the view. We ended up negotiating with someone who rented a much more luxurious condo for a huge discounted rate. It had a panoramic view. We were grateful to move so we could have a rested vacation.
The view is the only thing good about the condo and the price. The rest of the unit was very basic. The bathroom was stained. Some of the silverware was not clean either. We didn't expect anything luxurious since the price of the unit is on the lower side. We did expect a comfortable bed. We've slept in Motel 6 units that are 40 bucks a night and they manage to have ok beds.
If you aren't too picky about your bed this might be an affordable condo for you. The owners were not honest about it though. When we called them to complain they acted like we were crazy. When we were in Maui, we saw someone advertising a used king bed for $70. I almost called the owners to let them know.
We also went to a beach 2 days in the south part of the island. Next time we will be staying in that area. The beaches were much better and less rocky.
Owner's Response: I would like to assure any future vacationers that in my opinion, and also many others, the above revue is not accurate. I have tried this bed and find it to be very comfortable. I have also had guests with chronic back problems, stay in my unit and they have told me how relieved they were that the bed was good. They have often had bad experiences in other resorts.. I know that the person who was unhappy was 6 feet 3 inches tall and so probably his feet did hang over . You can see from the other reviews that everyone else has been more than happy with the condo. The view from the unit is actually SPECTACULAR and I also have a guest book full of compliments. In addition the suite is very reasonably priced and so affordable for visitors on a budget.
Before any new guests check into the unit, all of the dishes and silverware are washed thoroughly in a very efficient Kitchenaide dishwasher. I have had many positive comments made to me about the cleanliness of the whole unit. I also have several repeat guests,who tell me they won't stay anywhere else. Please contact me if you would like more assurance. I want my guests to be happy in my beautiful condo.
Thank you and aloha
