Beach front room was so comfortable, modern, and immaculate after housekeeping. Allowing us to borrow beach stuff and towels was so convenient, and the front desk was always so helpful and accommodating, anytime of the day or night! Kohea Kai Hotel is certainly a jewel amongst Maui hotels.

The staff was so nice, friendly, and helpful during our stay. We had one of the upgraded rooms, and it was super cute! It was also really convenient being able to rent beach towels, chairs, and other beach items right at the hotel. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

This was a pleasant, quiet stay. It didn’t have the amenities of a larger resort (no on-site dining/bar, smaller but very kind staff, limited parking). So, it’s more geared towards lower key travelers. The staff was very kind and the location was great.

Overall a good stay. Spacious and clean rooms. Boutique hotel with beautiful gardens. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas as available. Bathroom and bedroom show their age. The bathtub looked pathetic but it was functional. Most of the staff was friendly.

I recently stayed at this property during my vacation and had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. One of the highlights of my stay was the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail that made the experience enjoyable. The amenities were as advertised, and everything contributed to a relaxing and memorable vacation. You will definitely need transportation, few miles away are great foods,and a market area. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would gladly return in the future.

When I stayed in the penthouse, this felt like a great secret find, and I mainly wish I had made more use of the kitchen and living space. I will have to come back, and wil have my friends stay in the other rooms so we can enjoy the site more fully!
Great staff too, even when I was having a late-night arrival. I'm at least glad I walked across the street to the nice beach multiple times.

Friendly and quick check in. Updated and immaculate room with amazing shower pressure, and convenient small fridge and microwave. Quiet a/c and could hear subtle waves from beach across the street overnight. However, we also had big and somewhat noisy bulldozers working at 8 a.m. Not sure if they were repairing storm messes or longer term street repairs, so you may want to call ahead to see if that is still going on during the time of your upcoming stay. It impacted our ability to ever sit in the bistro table by our door to enjoy the ocean view.
