Maui Coast Hotel

Maui Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about the Maui Coast Hotel was top notch. From the moment we checked in (actually even before that with the pre-communications about our stay) we were treated like VIP’s. Location was a quick walk to the beach. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had great views. The pools were awesome. The entire staff was extremely friendly too. I honestly don’t have a single negative about our stay. For anyone considering a hotel in Maui, I highly recommend staying here. Whenever we have a chance to return to Maui, we will definitely be staying here again!"
