This review is for Kealia Resort, unit #304, managed by Alii Resorts. Our stay was August 4-11, 2018.
This condo exceeded our expectations! The condo's location is amazing for people with kids, or who like a little more peace and quiet. It is centrally located on the island in between the two main resort hubs. This means you have a short drive to access nearly everything the island has to offer, but a quiet retreat to return to at the end of the day.
The condo itself is well kept and appointed. It accommodated 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably. Both bedrooms have panoramic windows with ocean views(literally 30 feet away). The beds are comfortable, and the linens were of good quality. The unit is located at the end of the breezeway, and gets wind nearly 24/7. It keeps the condo so comfortable that we used the air-conditioning only once (it worked extremely well). The furniture was both functional and comfortable with room for everyone to stretch out.. There were TV's in both bedrooms and the living area. The WIFI worked well. The washer and dryer worked well and was a blessing to have available in unit. The pool is just the right size, and well maintained. The property manager cleaned it and the rest of the grounds every single morning. The beach front is beautiful with chairs/loungers available for the grass area, and a gas grill area for use by guests. The beach at this location is not very busy, just a trickle of people throughout the day, unlike the resort beaches which can get packed. The sand quality is wonderful, the surf is moderately tame, and the water is moderately clear. We saw green sea turtles twice during our stay no more than 40 feet out from the beach! There are rocks, coral and fish to see snorkling as well. When you are done at the beach, there is a beach shower to get rid of any sand before hopping in the pool or going back to the condo. The unit has assigned parking on site.
Lastly, Alii Resorts has awesome customer service. They answered all questions within the hour before our trip. We were greated at the condo for checking. The condo was spotless, and had all the sundries required for a home (TP, paper towels, tissue, basic cooking supplies, laudry/dish detergent, etc). It had a full complement of bath towels, kitchen towels, and the nicest beach towels I have ever had from a resort.
When our family returns to Maui, we will definitely be using Alii Resorts.
