Maui Schooner Resort, Kihei

This is our 15th year staying at the Maui Schooner. It is our home in paradise for 2 to 3 weeks each year. The property is kept in excellence condition by Nancy and her staff. I agree the units are out dated, but in excellent condition and repair. We like the smaller size resort (we own 4 weeks at the Schooner) because of the friendly atmosphere. We also own at 3 other resorts, (Diamond Resorts in Kauai, Pueblo Bonito Sunset in Cabo, and Star Island Resort & Spa in Fl) – they are all excellent resorts and truthful more up-to-date than the Schooner, but the best value for money and location – we choose the Schooner.

My husband and I exchange our i week at Maui Scrooner, according to Interval International rating it is a premier property and it's comparable to what we own at Welk Resort. I was upset and libid when i check in to my room.. It was not what we expected.. It was very small, smell awful The towels are very old and looks gray suppose to be white. The kitchen utensils are feels sticky it was not wash properly,and smells bad when you open the cabinets. The next day we have to check out and find a different Resort to stay..As soon as you get out of your room, smells very bad outside. and the carpet in first floor are so disggusting, felty dirty. The swimming pool was not maintain, the grounds are cracked especially the parking lot. also there are posted signs in every room.infront of the toilet there is a sign DO NOT FLUSH OTHER ITEM EXCEPT TOILET PAPER. in the kitchen there also sign posted.. in the living room there is a sign posted as well.. It looks too GHETO.If you are looking for home away from home this is not the place for you to stay.. and if you have certain taste i will not suggest to stay in this resort.. The customer service especially front desk and the Manager Nancy are terrible..they think there resort is prestine that they have put sign all over the place.. I have stayed in pretegious resort and i have not experience this before. This is the worst resort and property we have stayed. I am happy that we did not complete our 1 week stay otherwise i will have an awful vacation..

First...the website should be updatated! It certainly doesn't do justice! The Schooner is much nicer than it appears on the website! Dislike: The front dest attendant expressed that we should check for an early check-in when she called to confirm out reservations a week before our arrival, so we did...but to no avail. We actually checked in at 3:55pm and they acted as tho we were getting to check in EARLY. I guess I dont consider 5 mins as an early check-in. I later found out that that is standard for them to say and also found and heard a number of unsatisfied guests sitting around the pool with their luggage waiting for their rooms to be cleaned! (They'd obviously been told the same thing) Likes: I loved the size of the property...2 buildings! The pool was great and the grounds are very well kept! They provide the racquets and balls for the tennis courts and the equipment for shuffle board. There are alot of shops and great dining establishments within walking distance. We highly recommend the Cafe Ole!

We stayed at this resort and were so dissatisfied! After our first night, we discovered while making the bed a HUGE glob of dried bodily fluid!!!! The front desk and the manager, Nancy had several lame excuses i.e. bleach, masking tape. It was clearly bodily fluid!! Don't waste your money. An hourly motel would be more clean!

my wife and myself were offerred a week at the schooner checking the web site we werent sure if we wanted to go,the pictures looked outdated and run down we were wrong ,it had a good location it was quiet very clean and it looked and felt like a home away from home. We did make a suggestion to update there web site. centrally located between shopping and restaraunts. AND MUST FOR ANYONE DRIVE THE TWO OR SO MILES TO FREDS MEXICAN RESTARAUNT,we found it and had dinner 3 nights in a row i recommend the cajun shrimp burrito, we will go again!

We have stayed in more "upscale" large resorts, but the smallness of Maui Schooner , layed back atmosphere and beautiful grounds right on the ocean met our vacation dream. We will go back.

It was our first visit (April, 2008) and we were a little anxious about what to expect. The ladies at the front desk were so friendly and helpful. We could see the grounds were beautiful and very well maintained, but what would the room hold for us. My husband went in first with a couple of suitcases and said, "this is beautiful". He was right, everything about this room was great! The rooms were very large, clean and decorated beautifully. The view was superb. The Schooner's location is fantastic, close to markets, shopping and restaurants. They also provided sand chairs and a cooler to take with you on a picnic or to the beach. Thanks Schooner for making our vacation one to remember.

This is not a bed and breakfast as listed. We go here every year and I love it. The grounds are beautiful, the location is good, the 2 bedroom unit works well for us with guests, and it seems so away from the hustle and bustle. The atmosphere is like Maui 20 years ago.

We had a great 2 bedroom suite. Overlooked the ocean and beach. The kitchen was well equipped. Loved the barbecue at the poolside. Had a very relaxing trip. People were friendly and helpful at the front desk. Very clean unit and well landscaped grounds. The unit had a cooler and beach chairs which were handy. The pool was was nice and warm. We spent a week in Waikiki before and after Maui. Maui Schooner was the best. Next time I'm just going to the Maui Schooner for longer. Only thing I would like improved is to have more comfortable seating for 6 in the living room- really only good for 4 adults.

during our stay in november 07, we discovered roaches at two separate site of the location. when we notified the management, they seemed like it was no big deal. so book at your own risk!
