Score breakdown
How the 88/100 is built, category by category β each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
89- βBoth bathrooms were spacious but outdated. The master bedroom only had a shower, no bathtub. The sink area was open to the bedroom, which wasn't great because there was no space to change clothes in the toilet/shower area.β 30
Food
92Location
94- βNow, let's talk about the location because it is unbeatable. We are right in the heart of Wailea, so you are super close to all the upscale shopping, incredible dining, and world-class golf courses.β 9
- β"Five minutes or less to the beach and everything nearby." Groceries, restaurants, and the airport were easy; we even saw sea turtles cruising the shoreline. All the stars! I can't wait to return.β 3
Noise
92- βThe unit was the perfect distance from the ocean and pavilion-easy walk, beautiful noise but with no noise from all the happy playing happening at the Pavilion (which our teens contributed too at times).β 6
- βA relaxing and quiet community, Wailea Ekahi Village has 54 two-story buildings with condos beautifully decorated and furnished, offering miles of breathtaking sea views.β 32
Room
87- β"Well-appointed and family-friendly." Comfortable furniture, a fully equipped kitchen, abundant toiletries, and a clever pull-down bunk bed that beat a sofa sleeper for my daughter.β 3
- βIt has this beautiful Hawaiian style that just makes you want to kick off your shoes and relax. There is a huge terrace with comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV, which is perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring.β 90:56
Service
90Bed & Sleep
88Nothing quotable yet on this one β the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Value
86- βVery Pleased with the value, A Smooth, Easy Stayβ 4
- βThese level of updating in these mid-range condos varies from unit to unit, and though they are smaller and a bit older than those at neighboring Elua Village, they're also at a slightly lower price point. All in all, they're a good value for this upscale neighborhood.β 20
