Mana Kai was very nice. The south facing view was incredible. The pool was amazing and perfectly warm and heated perfectly, and you could swim for hours without getting cold. The beachfront made sunsets easy to access. It's located right on Keawakapu beach and on the north side it has rocks. This is a family friendly hotel stay. The beach out front is a dog beach, so dogs walk up and down it, on and off leash, and watched a few owners allow their dog to piss and poop, and they buried it versus cleaned it up. The beach is open to the public so sunsets invite in a lot of non-Mana Kai guests, and one of the three security guards did a great job of kicking unwanted guests off the property and pool. It was super close to everything in Wailea/Makena to Kihei. We come to Maui annually, and we stayed at 2 places in Wailea/Kihei and this was out favorite. Being near the elevator is loud for pedestrians walking to their room if they are talking, but other than that, it's a very nice location and the view is to die for. Expensive by our standards, but it was worth the price of admission. Oh, no boogie boards or free stuff, rentals only. BRX who manages the property let us check in 90 minutes early with groceries. It was very challenging to get that to happen, but thankful they were eventually gracious to let us do that. Transitioning from one place to another was not easy, and that helped not start the trip off to a negative start. God bless the owners of this condo, we'll be back!
