Loung chairs on the grass at Hale Pau Hana. Me and my family would like to say a huge MAHALO to the HPH Resort staff for the great vacation we have just had. We loved Maui and Hale Pau Hana Resport and will definitely be back as soon as our schedule permits. THANK YOU! We will miss this place a lot!

"Unit 15 is a Blissful Disconnect..." from TripAdvisor.

View from Unit 15 at Hale Pau Hana. The moment we walked in all we could see was the beautiful ocean perfectly framed in the huge sliding glass door. It was the perfect first impression, the room was spotless and complete with all the amenities one needs. The location was perfect, literally steps away from the beach and walking distance from restaurants and shops. Our trip was excellent and memorable and look forward to going back to the Hale Pau Hana, and in particular unit 15.

Guests at the waters edge.  Click to enlarge. I visited Hale Pau Hana as a little girl with my parents for many, many years. It was such a big part of my childhood, such wonderful memories. I wish to continue the tradition, hopefully yearly, with my two children. We started last year. My children are ages 5 and 3 and talk about it ALL the time. I know I am helping them make memories as fabulous as mine of Hale Pau Hana. I am so glad it is still there. There is no other place like it. Unfortunately my father, Dr. Robert J. McCarten, has passed away. Guests at the water's edge.  Click to enlarge. My mother, Shirley McCarten, is well, but unable to come with us as she doesn't like to travel anymore. She so enjoyed the stories from her grandchildren and pictures of us all at the place she loved years ago. A discount for being a return customer would help me so much! We tell everyone this is the ONLY place to be on Maui. Even brought a dear friend over for a week with us last time and she will be coming back to Hale Pau Hana with her husband later this year. Kasper and Melissa were so wonderful and helpful to us. Thank you, Kelly

Hula on the lawn at Hale Pau Hana. Hale Pau Hana was a slice of Heaven on earth. The two weeks we spent in Kihei were by far the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation my family has ever taken. The Hale Pau Hana facilities are immaculately cared for and ideal for the perfect Hawaiian vacation. I dreamt of my vacation for almost a year and the reality actually surpassed the dream.

I took a thousand pictures that I regularly lose myself in as I relive the trip. I highly recommend Hale Pau Hana to anyone looking for the perfect Hawaiian vacation.

Keiki Hula Girl. This was our 2nd time staying with Hale Pau Hana Resort and had the best time! We brought our 2year old with us and had a great experience all around. Highly recommended! Will be booking again for next year. Thank you for making our family vacation a memorable time!

View of the Beach. Aloha, Thank you so much for answering my email. I was so upset and thought it was my computer. I hope they are able to fix our wonderful camera if not I'll bet there are enough of us online that would be willing to donate money for a new one. I know I'm not the only one that keeps their sanity by going to the "beach for lunch". It keeps me saving my money so I can be there once a year. Thank you for your kindness.

"Amazing staff and beautiful beach..." from TripAdvisor.

View from the balcony. We had the best week staying at Hale Pau Hana on our honeymoon. Waking up every morning and eating pancakes with fresh fruit on the balcony overlooking the small private beach...this place was idyllic.

The apartment we stayed in was fantastically well provisioned with an excellent kitchen with a huge fridge freezer. Plus not only that the view was like something out of an advert for the Hawaiian tourist board. But not only was it quiet with a beautiful view, but there were three shopping plazas within a ten minute walk and some fun bars. We liked the Sansei restaurant which had the most delicious mango and crab californian roll which was five minutes from the apartment, although cooking there was really fun. We bought 5 star fruit for $2 accross the street for our breakfast.

I would love to go back here, it was a fantastic place to stay.

"Beautiful Views from Hale Pau Hana" from TripAdvisor.

View from the balcony. My husband and I stayed at the Hale Pau Hana for 4 nights in early December while celebrating our 20th Anniversary. The property is more lovely than the pictures. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the unit was very clean and in great repair. Sunset at Hale Pau Hana. We stayed in an upper unit in the low rise building. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and we were able to watch whales from there with binoculars provided by the thoughtful owners. The beach is gorgeous and the lawn provides a shady oasis when you are tired of the sun. There is also great snorkeling right from the beach at both the north and south end. The location is perfect, across the street from our favorite Kihei restaurant Cafe O Lei. I only wish they had more 2 bedroom units so we could return with our kids.

"Fantastic...not your plain old resort" from TripAdvisor.

Hale Pau Hana wide property view. Absolutely the best. The staff, the facility, the beach, the view...all of it. If your looking for a relaxed vacation, this is the place. All of the units are owned by individuals and most are rented out until the owners are in town. It's clean and neat, the grounds are in great shape. The beach is county run but who cares with the view that you'll have. The reefs are 100 yards from the property so you can actually walk right up to them to snorkel. The sunsets are amazing, if fact, we where here when the owners were planning their annual meeting, they all would come down with a glass of wine or whatever, sit and talk with everone and watch the sun go down. That was every night. Great places to eat within walking distance in both directions. They have a laundry facility right on the property which comes in handy- no running in the car to find a place to wash clothes.

Of all the places my wife and I have stayed around the world, this is in fact a top 3- one of the best vacations we've had in years. Make sure you stay for more than a week to enjoy the whole package. We'll be back next year for sure! Thank you Hale Pau Hana for a great stay!

We just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and stayed in unit 103. This was our 1st visit to Hale Pau Hana but not to Maui. Not only did we enjoy our accomodations, and the hospitality of the staff and our fellow visitors but we have comitted ourselves to become annual visitors to Hale Pau Hana! We have already left a deposit for next July for a specific unit. My only fear is that too many others will find this treasure of a site and dilute its special place in our lives!

** Thank you for providing a wonderful paradise for us! **

Click to see all Unit 307 pictures. We spent our 50th anniversary with our children and grandchildren at Hale Pau Hana and it was the trip of a lifetime for us. We had been there before many times and always want to come back to our paradise on earth. Everything always seems nicer then the last time and we hope our children will come back with us in the coming years. It is the only place we want to come to on the beautiful island of Maui. The staff always go out of their way to accommodate our every need.

We stayed in Unit 307 and we loved it. The rest of the family loved their units also: #207 and #306. Mahalo for our memory that will always be in our hearts.

Beach in the morning at Hale Pau Hana.  Click to enlarge. My son is getting married right now and I just wanted to tell you I love the web cam. I was able to see him right before they got married. It made my night. Thank you for allowing me the chance to see him and share just a moment of the very special time with him.

"Beautiful Spot" from TripAdvisor.

Hale Pau Hana property view facing north. We stayed at Hale Pau Hana for a week this March. This was our second trip to Maui but first at this condo. The location simply can't be beat. Beach is beautiful, grounds are well kept and chairs are placed at the beach edge for wonderful ocean views. Snorkling was not bad off the rocks at the end of the beach. Sitting on the grass watching the whales everyday was amazing! Our unit was a bit older and needed a reno but it was very clean and comfortable and the view more than made up for anything else. Lots of places to eat nearby from Moose Mcgillicudy's 3.00 Happy Hour to Cafe O'Lei across the street. If you like a stress free vacation then come to Kihei and relax. Took us over an hour in bumper to bumper traffic to get to Lahaina and Kaanapali. Once there had to fight crowds on sidewalks and shops. Glad we went but glad we didn't stay there. Wailea is ony 5 minutes drive south and is also beautiful. Hale Pau Hana is simply a wonderful place to spend your Hawaiian vacation.

"The only place to stay in Kihei" from TripAdvisor.

Low Rise at Hale Pau Hana Just returned from a great trip to the Hale Pau Hana, It was our 15th trip to the islands, but 1st time back to maui in 10 years.

We have always stayed at Hale Pau Hana in previous years and it never disappoints us.

The rooms are great and would recomend a bottom floor unit in the low rise buildings, they make you feel like you are right on the Beach.

Just open the large sliding door and let the fresh Ocean Breeze in......

"Really enjoyed this place" from TripAdvisor.

Sunset view from our lanai from TripAdvisor. booked direct with hph on a recommend from a friend

would have liked a bigger bathroom and a/c in the living room but we managed just fine as it is

great condo --- in excellent shape-- the office and the grounds staff go out of their way to make the place wonderful for your vacation--------the ocean front condos are worth their weight in gold -- will be booking again for next year within the week

also- have read about the a/c s that have timers on them -- ours did not --you had a remote control and you set the temp and the fan speed and it ran til you shut it off

"Great place to stay" from TripAdvisor.

View from the lanai in unit 703. Stayed in unit 703 for a week. It had everything we needed, even good quality snorkel gear. Didn't do any cooking (I was on vacation!), but the kitchen seemed to be well supplied. Fresh towels, soap, etc. and garbage removed every other day. Tuesday evening entertainment was great. Very nice beach, not crowded at all. Only saw one cockroach the whole week, our fault, we left the door open. The room was exactly as depicted on web site. Would definitely recommend Hale Pau Hana.

Unit 603 Livingroom. I just wanted to email to let you know how wonderful our stay at Hale Pau Hana was. We loved our unit #603 and were completely impressed with every aspect of the unit, how it had EVERYTHING we could possibly ever need!!! A home from home.

LandscapingThe garden was immaculate, you really work so hard to keep it all so clean and tidy, and there must be sun bed fairies who come at night and tidy up all the beds and chairs!! Housekeeping were superb, it was so nice to be left to our own devices and to only have limited housekeeping, I for one prefer it that way.

Thank you sooooooooo VERY much for such a wonderful time, and please pass on our compliments to the owners of unit #603 and tell them how we loved all their artwork, we will definately be back one day!!
