Upcountry Maui hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"The bed was very firm, the AC is loud, staff is marginally friendly, amenities are extremely bare-bones and dated. Only stayed there bc it was the pickup site for an early morning tour, after which it was also very close to the airport. But there has to be a better option. Proximity to the beach and airport are the only selling points."

"I booked an Ocean View room at Royal Lahaina Resort, but the room we received only had a partial side-view of the ocean from the right side of the building. In my opinion, this should not be advertised or sold as a true ocean view room. When someone books ocean view, they expect the ocean to be clearly visible from the room, not only from an angle. Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing, especially because we informed the hotel in advance that we were celebrating our honeymoon. The hotel acknowledged our email and said they would do their best to make our stay memorable. However, when we arrived, there was absolutely nothing special in the room, and the view immediately killed the excitement for both me and my wife. It truly felt like the wrong decision to book this property for such an important occasion. The room itself did not feel modern or luxurious. Amenities were very basic, and the coffee machine in the room was filthy, which was unacceptable for a resort that presents itself as a 4-star property. The service also did not meet expectations. Several staff members at the front desk and around the resort came across as rude and unwelcoming. A resort at this level should train staff properly on how to speak to guests with respect and hospitality. Based on my experience, this does not feel like a true 4-star resort. It feels heavily marketed online, but the actual guest experience did not match the expectations created during booking."

"As soon as you enter the property you noticed how well maintained it is and how wonderful the staff is, welcoming and informative! I loved the thoughtful bowl of orchids with bobby pins for your hair! We had a suite for the three of us and it was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed. There are great food options right on the property and the beach is right across the street with bicycles you can use. I would recommend the Maui Coast Hotel as a very pleasurable place to stay."

"The breakfast buffet was good room was nice and clean the staff was amazing so helpful always ready to greet you with a smile and we loved the activity’s provided on site kids had so much fun feeding the koi getting hula lessons and playing bingo would definitely stay there again!"

"Excellent"

"The screen doors were torn and off track. The curtains didn’t close all the way. The spa was too expensive. The staff was fantastic! Especially Hunter, Kai, and the two young ladies that gave us wonderful rides on the golf carts. The yoga class was excellent. The air conditioning needed to be cooler as needed, and the bathrooms were WAY too hot. The lady that checked us in and out was great! The pool and hot tub were wonderful."
