Maui Banyan by Maui Rental Group

We met a lot of great people during our stay at Maui Banyan. It has timeshare holders, so a LOT of yearly repeat visitors. And no, it wasn’t even mentioned for us to buy, I don’t think they do it anymore. We only ever had 2 issues- one was an incorrect door lock code when we arrived, and one was being unable to get the air conditioning working in one bedroom. Both times management was able to help immediately. Things can always go wrong, but it how they handle it that matters, and they were fabulous. Our unit and hallways/ stairwells are a little dated, but decently clean. There were maintenance grounds workers every single day, and lovely to chat with. Our unit had absolutely everything we needed for our 2 week stay, and plenty of space for groceries and consumables. Never an issue to get pool loungers, even under umbrellas. BBQ grills are almost brand new, in the pool area, it was great to be able to make dinner. Loved the walkability and proximity to the highway. Kam 2 beach was immediately across the street, many beaches within a few minute drive if you are so inclined to go to as many as possible. Fred’s restaurant has always been one our favorites and it is right beside the condo.

Great room and location, stunning sunsets

The grounds the location the room and bed was awesome. Even though it their literature they said there might be bugs, there were roaches all over. We had to come home and fumigate suitcases and rewash everything. So not to infest our home, as that would be a nightmare! Our Lanai looked over to a parking garage. Not exactly what I had in mine. Kitchen was nice with all the amenities roaches were a deal breaker.

Clean

We stayed at Maui Banyan in Kihei over Labor Day weekend. The location was very convenient, with easy access to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We had free parking close to our unit, the pool area was small but had a nice pool, hot tub and outdoor eating area with access to 5 gas grills if you like to cook for the family. The condo itself had a good layout for two adults, featuring a full kitchen, one bedroom and two full bathrooms. Unfortunately, a significant downside was the air conditioning situation. The small/ old AC unit was ONLY in the living room and didn't cool the bedroom at all, making it too hot to sleep on the king sized bed. As a result, we had to use the small pull-out sofa in the living room, which was quite uncomfortable and definitely impacted our overall comfort. In summary, while the location was great, the lack of proper cooling in the bedroom was a major drawback.

Unfortunately, our stay wasn’t great. One of the closet doors wouldn’t close, the toilet didn’t work properly, and the mini fridge was very noisy. There was also confusion with the parking and door code—our code was shared with the guests next door, which felt very unprofessional. Lastly, there was no shampoo in the room, only two bottles of conditioner. Hope this helps improve things for future guests.

Iwoud never stay in Bldg T again

Older property… rugs were dirty, chipped tile, broken sliding door locks… definitely not a 5 star property… best thing close to the beach… pools were nice.

It’s a lovely and quiet area the beach is right across the street. Restaurant and shopping center are within a 10 to 15 min walk. They also provide towels, chairs, an umbrella and a cooler to use to take with you to the beach. The place is very clean and I cannot wait to go back.

We had a one week stay and enjoyed all aspects of the property. The unit was fully equipped with all the essentials and nice and clean. The complex is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The pool area is excellent and has excellent BBQ’s for grilling. The beach is across the street and although S. Kihei Rd is busy thoroughfare there is a good buffer zone and the area is quiet.
