Pros: We booked a one bedroom for one night here while waiting to get onto our timeshare resort. They upgraded us to a deluxe 1-bedroom with a kitchen. The double shower was nice, but it was in the extra bathroom, not the master bedroom (thAt had a tub and shower.). All the utensils, dishes, soaps, shampoos, detergents and towels we needed were supplied. Coffee, sugar and creamer was also in the unit. Even plastic storage containers. The unit was nice and clean, and the air conditioner worked well. They even gave us a complementary box of macadamia nut chocolates. The desk personnel were very accommodating and friendly and check in was streamlined. We also got a card for unlimited DVD movies. They had a small but not crowded pool, but we didn’t have time to use it. It is in nice location with lots of shops and a grocery store within a mile or two. Foodland, the local grocery store, had fairly reasonable prices considering it is Hawaii. We just took advantage of their sales. Just be sure to sign up for their rewards card, A very simple process. Also I learned that on Thursday’s they give senior citizens a 5% discount. Make sure to bring your own grocery bags or you get charged. However you get 5 cents back for using your own. Now the cons: We had issues converting from Cable TV to the DVD source. They use a game boy device and since we are senior citizens, it was difficult to figure out. A maintenance worker had to come up and show us, but his English wasn’t too good and we still had a hard time with it. The outlets in the bedroom were minimal. Only on one side of the bed, and there were no USB ports for phones and other devices. We also had an issue with ants, so I kept all food and supplements in plastic ware and ziplock bags. This seems to be a universal problem in Hawaii as we had ants in our Big Island condo as well. Just make sure you bring lots of ziplock bags for food. Even for your medications. Overall, it was a very nice place

Very nice condo project, good amenities in the unit. Clean. It is OFF the beach however, across the street and depending on which building you are assigned, you may have quite a walk just to get to the road. Good location, although traffic can be a bit over the top. Good pools, parking was difficult.

Some reviews of the Maui Banyan are bad, some are great. We had a wonderful experience! The key is to remember that each condo is owned by an individual. So some are really nice and some are not. I would suggest that you make a reservation, then call the front desk and talk to them. They know which units are in good shape and which ones are not. Get their advice. The unit we were in was recently remodeled and everything was awesome. We had a nice ocean view, near the pool, and it was a quiet part of the property.

The unit is a little outdated, but it was comfortable and had an awesome view of the ocean from our little patio. At night you can hear the waves crashing. The two room unit had separate entrance which was great for my Son and godson who came along. They also had a separate patio of their own. We could walked right across the street to the beach. There were a ton of little eateries, and pretty much easy to get anywhere you needed to go on the island. I do think they need more trash cans in the unit or bigger ones. there was one tiny one under the sink and one tiny one in the restroom. We bought food to make so there was a little more trash.

We stayed in a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit (T-209). It was at the end of the complex which was nice and quiet. This complex doesn't have an elevator. This property is located across the street from Kameole Beach 2, which is a nice beach with a lifeguard.
