2 Hour Limit!

Location was great! Most of the unit was in pretty good shape, however, the bathrooms are in bad need of a complete overhaul. The unit was not that clean as far as the bathrooms go and the towels and washclothes were really stained and in need of replacing or bleaching. It was very close to lots of restaurants and stores and the beach was fantastic. The pools were great as well. Where the Fair rating comes in is the airconditioners. We arrived at 11pm and it must have been close to 95 degrees in the unit. The ceiling fans were not on and obviously no one felt the need to cool it down for us. There are 2 slightly working airconditioners. One in the 2nd bedroom and one in the main area, therefore the master bedroom was really warm. The big kicker was that they were on a 2 hour timer. Understandable to prevent it being left on during the day when your away, however, it was inhuman at night. I never slept more than a 2 hour stretch for the entire week as I woke up everytime it stopped running and had to reset the timer as it was like an oven in the room. I would not recommend this unit to anyone!! But the building is in such a great location I would stay there again in a different unit.

Maui Banyan Property

The location was very good with protection from the direct sun and a partial view of the ocean. The units were quiet. While the location has resulted in the "good" experience rating, the main unit itself does require upgrading. The appliances are old. Everything functions, however.

The Maui Banyan condo is well maintained, in a quiet complex, and is walking distance to the beach, stores, and restaurants. This condo is also well situated to make the most of day trips all over the island. Having parking included and so close to the unit was a definite plus.

The condo itself was basic and no-frills, but well maintained and full of amenities such as a dishwasher, washer/dryer, beach toys, tennis rackets, bamboo mats, and just about everything you'd need in the kitchen for cooking and barbequeing. We used the BBQs by the pool several times and loved the ability to cook and relax "at home".

I would highly recommend this property for friends traveling together and for families.
