"Loved the resort, staff, cleanliness, and location, but you can tell its age. The pools need some work, elevators, even the TV in the room is old and outdated."

10/10 Excellent
"From check-in to check-out, all was excellent, We are so glad to have found Maui Hill, the condo was bigger than we anticipated and had a beautiful, very large private deck that had a distant ocean view and a tropical garden setting. We only needed one night as there was a power outage on the other side of the island, wish we would have spent our entire week at Maui Hill. The front desk staff were very kind and friendly, they even allowed a two hour late check-out due to our flight departure. Would highly recommend the Maui Hill for any length of time."
