The Mana Kai Resort is on a promontory and therefore all the units have spectacular ocean front views. The master bedroom is separated from the living room by a sliding screen, which limits privacy, but also permits a great ocean view from the master bedroom. The units are not large in square footage, but are comfortable for 2 adults or 2 adults with small children. One of our favorite restaurants is located in this resort.

The Maui Mana Kai has the fine dining Five Palms Restaurant downstairs and right on the beach. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the 5 Palms has an outside and inside dining area as well as a full bar.
I have been going to the Mana Kai Maui for over 18 years. My grandfather was one of the first people to buy a Condo there. The Mana Kai Maui is an unbelievable place for a great price. The beach has warm white sand and is absolutely gorgeous. There is coral reef to your right as you enter the crystal blue ocean. The reef is swarming with life. If you go during the winter you will see dozens of humpback whales right off the coast. There are also hundreds of sea turtles that pop up out of the water. If you swim out far enough you are likely to see families of sea turtles eating seaweed under broccoli shaped coral. There are TONS of activities. I would recommend taking an Eco-Kayak tour of one of Maui's many nature preserves. That is definetly worth the money. Make sure to ask for a renovated room (some owners of the other condominiums do not want to pay for the renovation). The newly renovated rooms are absolutely immaculate and provide you with brilliant views of the ocean, sunsets, and islands in the distance. If you go to Mana Kai Maui you will never want to come home. That is the only drawback I can think of.

Awesome!! Didn't Want to Leave!!
I have just returned from my first trip ever to Hawaii and we were pleasantly surprised when we checked in for 4 days and 3 nights at the Mana Kai. We are a family of 5 so we had 2 rooms right next to each other (811A and 811B). The kids were in the B room which had a microwave, refrigerator and air conditioning, as well as a double size bed and couch. Oh and an awesome view of the ocean! We were in the A room (which was more of a condo like room than the B which was more of a motel type room...but neat for 3 teenagers anyways.) In the A room the owners spared no expense, they had very plush towels even. They even went so far as to keep boogie boards, mats and a pool raft in the closet for us to use. Even though there was no air conditioning because it is so windy in the afternoon there we just kept the door towards the beach open (there were screen doors) all the time and the ceiling fan on. We never got hot and it was always comfortable. The bedroom (with a king bed) went out to the lanai where there was a table that you could eat or relax and watch the sea. The kitchen was fully equiped (even had a dishwasher) I can not think of one thing that I missed while staying in that condo. In fact if I am ever blessed to be able to go back to Maui I hope to be able to stay in that room again. The condos even had a tour guide that was able to set you up on any kind of tour that you needed to go on. If you stay here I recommend buying your groceries at the Safeway as we learned that it was the cheapest grocery store there.

Paradise
Just visited the Mana Kai Maui in early November. It was better than ever now that the upgrades are complete. Our condo was fully air conditioned and had a spectacular view. It was newly upgraded.

Fabulous Vacation
The Mana Kai Maui was spectacular. We stayed in one of the renovated units and it made us feel like royalty. Granite counter tops, beautiful decor; it was immaculate, and the view from the room was breath taking. My wife and I were able to stroll along the beach for our morning walks and I couldn't think of a better way to start the day. I highly recommend the Mana Kai Maui and would suggest splurging for the renovated room...it was definitely worth it!

Favorite Vacation Resort
We have vacationed in Hawaii for many years, on Oahu, Maui, Kaui, and the Big Island. Maui is our favorite island, and the Mana Kai Maui is our favorite resort. It has a fantastic ocean view, and is located on the golden sand Keawakapu beach (perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and strolling). The pool is great for kids, and the spacious grounds have lounges under the shade trees. The rooms are well-appointed, and very comfortable. We could fix our own meals in the kitchen, or dine at the 5 Palms restaurant onsite, or Sorrento's next door (both very good), as well as many other restaurants nearby in Kihei. There is always a cooling ocean breeze in the evenings, and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the sunsets. This is by far the best vacation value. My only quibble is I missed having a BBQ grill for the delicious fresh island fish we got at the local Star Market.
