“Our place to stay”

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

Apr 26, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This has become our place to stay on the beautiful island of Maui.

We've stayed here twice in the last two years. Our last stay was in OCT of '07, I've just been too lazy to write reviews. We've stayed in a 1 bed + loft, and a HUGE 2 bedroom (1700 sq ft). I'll write this review with a summary of both stays and try not to differentiate between the two.

First, if you're looking to come to the island and swim in a gigantic beautiful pool, and be waited on while sipping $8 drinks, stop reading now, and move on.

The Outrigger Eldorado is about location and value for my family. This is the best of both worlds. Like every other review states, it is walking distance to Whalers village and all of what Kaanapali beach has to offer. It is located directly behind the Maui Sheraton and wonderful Black Rock (which has some GREAT snorkeling, and torch lighting at sunset courtesy of the Sheraton). Most condos have a good view of the golf course and some units have a view of the ocean (although I wouldn't expect it).

CONDO:
+Big spacious, CLEAN, well maintained condos
+Housekeeping is very good at this Outrigger (we've stayed at others that weren't nearly as good) they are happy to leave extra laundry detergent, towels ect. Just leave a quick note and a small token of your appreciation.
+Kitchens are FULLY stocked (cookware, etc) with everything you will need for cooking
+Large Lanai's
+BBQ's are clean, and in good working order
+Cabana's on their quiet beach which have refigerators, tables, shade, lounge chairs, etc.
+Towel/chair checkout service at the cabana

-Parking, not the best, and an extra charge.
-Pool areas are bland, especially the large pool (but really who cares, the beach is so close)
-Not enough BBQ's

Lahina is close, and offers a little more "affordable" shopping and dining along with a plethora of touristy stuff to do.

If you want the resort experience and have the money for eating out every meal then stay at a resort. If you want to come to Maui and have a great vacation with the convinence of cooking some meals at home and stocking up your fridge with ice cold beer and not having to pay $6 a beer, then stay here.
Happy vacationing!

“Thumbs up for Outrigger Maui Eldorado!”

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

4 of 5 stars
Gardena, CA
Apr 14, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The Outrigger Maui Eldorado truly met our expectations! Our unit had a fully-stocked kitchen, spacious bathroom area with a roomy closet and many clothes hangers, a washer and dryer unit, a lanai with tables and chairs to have a meal, meditate, soak in the sun or catch an evening breeze. We LOVED the view of the well-manicured grounds and golf course. The Front Desk and housekeeping staff were friendly, always available and ready to assist in a moment's notice.

We had an awesome time walking or jogging the beautiful grounds almost every morning as the sun was rising and ending up at the Cabanas to take in the beauty of the ocean or other islands at a distance and watching the surfers and ocean swimmers.

We also LOVED the fact that the Outrigger Maui Eldorado is centrally located in Kaanapali Beach and VERY conveniently located off of Highway 30 which is the main vein to other nearby towns and the airport.

We cannot stop raving about Outrigger Maui Eldorado to our family, friends, co-workers and students! We will definitely choose to stay there again for our next Maui vacation as it was truly our home-away-from-home!

“Mixed feelings about the El Dorado”

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

3 of 5 stars
bay area, ca
Mar 24, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

Myself, my husband and 2 sons, 14 and 12 stayed at the El Dorado for 1 week in March, the 16th-23rd.
The last 2 years we stayed at the Outrigger Napili Shores and really enjoyed it, but felt that we outgrew the 1 bedroom condo there. So we decided on the outrigger El Dorado because the rooms, 1 bedroom were almost double in size.
We booked last Oct. and requested a 1 bedroom with 2 beds and a pullout. I also requested a room on the 1st floor, just because we like to use the patio door as an easy in and out, etc. When we got our room it was on the 2nd floor and had only one bed and a pullout. I went downstairs and asked about another room. At first they had trouble finding another room with 2 beds, but then they managed to find the ugliest room with a bad location to show me. My 12 year old volunteered to sleep on the couch because the other room was much nicer and better location. The 2nd floor ended up being ok, the view is better there and the lanai was nice and big.
The complex itself is very spread out, but once you find your way from the parking through easier path ways, the walk is shorter.
The walk to the beach was not to bad, maybe 7 to 9 minutes.
I do not think we will stay here again, the room situation is to unpredictable (some rooms are much nicer than others and we need 2 beds next time)and the front desk was not very helpful in resolving things.

“Loved the Eldorado”

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

Mar 12, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We have stayed at the Eldorado from February 23,2008 till March 8,2008 in unit J102. The unit was very well located and maintained. Huge bedrooms well appointed. Beach Cabana a definite plus.

Housekeeping was doing its job early every day. We have been pampered by Gheta who was like a mother to us.

Staff was friendly and helpful.We will return asap.

“Don't Stay Here!”

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

Feb 28, 2008
3/5 found this review helpful

This Condo Complex was built in 1969 - only some of the units have been updated. If you must stay here - insist on a renoed unit. Ours leaked water from the ceiling, the bath/shower wouldn't drain, carpet smelled moldy, couldn't talk when the dishwasher was on, balcony drapes kept falling off. K-111.
Housekeeping dropped by every day - usually forgot to leave any coffee. You can't function here without a rental car and they charge $7 a day to park it - very little sense of customer service at this facility. The only thing the Eldorado has going for it that it's quiet - not much street noise. There are many alternatives in this price range and I would recommend taking just about anything else.
