Kihei Akahi

  • November 4, 2005
  • Rated 4 of 5 by HeatherPat from Campbell River, British Columbia
Kihei Akahi

Best Things Nearby:
This condo is located right across the street from the resort. There were many restaurants within walking distance and even more when we decided to drive down the road. The harbour for the larger ships and catamarans was about a half-hour away, but there were many boat tours that picked you up at the boat ramp (2 minutes away) or at Makena Landing (7 minutes away). There were lots of unique stores along Kihei Road that sold almost anything you were looking for.

Best Things About the Resort:
Our room was on the third floor. It had been recently updated. The location was perfect and the units were in very good condition. There is an orientation offered to the guests, but it is more to try to sell you different activities. Make sure you check a few other prices first. They are not the cheapest, but the Private Kayak Tour that we booked was definitely worth our money. There were no on-site activities.

Resort Experience:
We were travelling in the off-season, so they were fixing and painting the outside of the building and the lanais (balconies) while we were there. The grounds are well kept and the pools and barbecue areas are clean and nice to use. Our suite was clean, well supplied, and well looked after. There was an air-conditioner in the living room, and it kept the suite at a comfortable temperature. (Be sure to ask if your unit has one!) When we wanted to barbecue, they had barbecues, tables, and even a fridge right down on the pool deck. Kihei is the warm side of the island, so we were able to take a dip in the ocean daily. Another tip is to ask for a unit above the first floor. Some of the ground-floor rooms are almost sub-floor rooms.

Kihei Akahi

Kihei Akahi is a great place to stay that is away from all of the main resort areas. The Kihei beach is just across the street from the resort, and you can find great snorkeling there in the morning. The units are not "plush" but more like a basic apartment - a great way to vacation in Hawaii on a budget. Plus there is a full kitchen in your unit so you can cook meals if you want to save even more money. Grocery store is only 3 blocks away.

Kihei Akahi

Best Things Nearby:
Kihei beach is a five minute walk and the beach does not have a lot of tourists, so it makes it nice. We were able to rent snorkel equipment and see great fish right off the beach - no need to go on an expensive snorkel trip.

Best Things About the Resort:
Kihei Akahi is in a non crowded area of Maui so you are able to relax and enjoy the beach. If you want to be in the middle of the tourist area - you can head up to Lahaina.

Resort Experience:
Most units do not have air-conditioning but it is not needed since the days are so cool in Kihei. Looks like a basic apartment - nothing fancy but decent accommodations and nice place to relax. Resort does not have any extra amenities.

Ruby's Inn RV Campground

  • December 26, 2000
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Amy Travels from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania
Ruby''s Inn RV Campground is located adjacent to Ruby''s Best Western. If you stay at the campground, you can use the recreational facilites at the Best Western. Some of the facilities available are: restaurants, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, and gift shop. A rodeo and shops are also located across the street.
We paid approximately $21/night to stay in a tipi at the campground. Bring your own sleeping bags and dress warmly--it gets very cold at night. Each tipi had a picnic table outside. While I''m not one to cook on vacation, I recommend stopping at a grocery store and buying breakfast items. This will save you a lot of time and money. If you enjoy all the comforts of home (i.e., television, telephone, warm bed, etc.) a tipi is not the right place for you. However, if you''re looking for a unique experience, give it a try.
The restroom facilities at Ruby''s were better than any other we encountered on our vacation. There were plenty of showers and sinks/counter space available. Also, they were very clean.
