The Maui Coast Hotel was really nice and clean. The staff, I would say, were about average. The pool and secluded hot tub were also nice. The only complaint we had was when the Expedia fun desk person in the lobby referred us to a condo sales pitch in Lahaina for a free $100.00 activity voucher. All you had to do was go to Lahaina and listen to a presentaion over the Fairmont resort condos. She kept telling us how great it was and how it wouldn't be a high pressured sales pitch, just go listen, eat free lunch, and leave. She was so wrong. It was very high pressured. They ran our credit without telling us and were just complete jerks. We got up and left in the middle of it. Do not get suckered into this! I would not do it again even for $1,000. Anyway, The hotel could not have been in a better location. This was our first trip to Maui so we didn't really know where to stay. Everyone kept telling us to stay up North in Kaanapali at one of the big resorts but I'm so glad we didn't. All the great sites and beaches on the west part of Maui are down south, not in Kaanapali like everyone tells you. We traveled to Kaanapali a few times and realized how far away it was from all the great stuff. All they had were big hotels with nice pools and bad beaches. If that's what you're looking for, go to some random beach resort in the US. Tips: Make sure and visit Makena Beach down South, aka Big Beach and Little Beach. Big Beach is beautiful! Use caution though, Little Beach is a nude beach. If you are looking for all the beautiful and amazing women of Maui, go to the windsurfing beach Paia any day of the week! To go swimming with dolphins, go to La Perouse Bay down South right at sunrise. They will be there feeding with their babies....amazing!!! Also, Lahaina is where the cruise ships dump all the tourists. Enjoy!

We booked the Alcove suite and felt that it was not worth it. The lobby and entrance areas looked nice but our "suite" looked more like an upgraded motel room. The service from the staff was average and again it felt like were checking into a motel. No welcome or smile at all. When we asked one of the staff at concierge where we could rent kayaks, he said he wouldn't know(??). My husband's wallet was stolen and we explained we had to file a report to the police and we asked if they knew the number to call. We felt that we had to give them a lot of explanation in order for them to assist us. No motivation for customer service at all. Beaches are nice and good for swimming, kayaking and paddle board.

The Maui Coast hotel was Ok, I don't think it was worth the $193.00 a night at all. We got a Jr. alcove suite, i guess its one of the larger rooms. The location was ok, I love Kihei. The room was old, the bed was not comfy, and we found one little black beatle a day crawling on the floor. The room description said "garden terrace view", well they didn't mention that the "garden" had a parking lot running down the middle of it. We never used our Lanai because it was just too noisy outside. Inside our room with our glass door shut it was quite. We never used there pool but it looked nice and they had a poolside bar and grill that was great. The Spices restaurant was good too. We won't be staying at the hotel again.

We really liked the Maui Coast. We could not find a condo to save our lives during the time we wanted to stay in Kihei, so the Maui Coast was our higher-priced alternative.

It was almost worth having no kitchen and paying extra for impeccable housekeeping, not having to worry about cooking, and enjoying the luxury of a hotel vs. a "do it all yourself" condo. Although the hotel might be slightly overpriced, it was worth it. It was clean, staff was friendly, and it is in a great location - especially for our main activity (diving, leaving at 5:45 am every day from Kihei boat ramp).

We loved it. No complaints at all. Loved the internet in the lobby... pool bar was nice, with the cat "Spicy" to greet us at happy hour every night. Go stay there and you won't regret it!
