Upon arriving we were completely blown away by this place! The pictures online are fantastic but they still do it no justice. We stayed during the week of our wedding and had 4 of the 6 rooms booked with freinds and family. My husband and I stayed in the Orchid Suite and our friends had the Bamboo, Gardenia, and Lotus suites. They are all very nice.

We used the outdoor grill almost every night. There is also an outdoor fridge (filled with condiments) and an ice maker which came in handy when mixing drinks.

They have a saline pool and a lot of water toys available to use (boogie boards, blow up floats, snorkeling gear) and there's even beach chairs. There are two full sized washer and dryers with detergent provided. There is a book exchange in the laundry room (take one leave one) in case you forgot one or just wanted something different to read. The beach is just a few steps away across the road. People driving are usually pretty friendly and will stop to let you cross.

The owner Sherry is really nice and so are the ladies that come by to clean, this place is so wonderful and very well run.

I can't wait to go back! Mahalo!

The Aloha Pulani was an amazing place to stay! We had such a great time there!

We stayed in the Gardenia suite - it was quiet, immaculate and had a well equipped kitchenette too! The grounds were gorgeous and well manicured and the salt water pool was very refreshing.

We were very pleased with the location of the hotel in Kihei because it is not too touristy, but is close enough to restaurants, etc. and steps from the beach.

The staff was very friendly and efficient as well.
There is also an outdoor Viking BBQ for the guests to use which would come in handy if you wanted to enjoy a night by the pool.

I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to visit it again soon!

I had never been to Hawaii before and frankly I didn't know much about it.

I booked this place based completely on the reviews on Trip Advisor and email communication with Sherry who runs the hotel, which I knew was a bit risky. But I have had good luck with the reviews on TA in the past so I figured I would take a chance.

I'm glad to report that I was not disappointed. I stayed in the Bamboo Room, which was lovely. The entire place is spotlessly clean.

This hotel is pretty much as nice as most of the reviews here indicated. I have no negative comments.

If you're looking to party like a rock star this probably isn't the place for you because its quiet and peaceful, which is what we were looking for. Also they do not accept children.

Its located in Kihei, right off Southe Kihei Rd just north of where the it gets busy. There are plenty of stores & restaurants within a couple miles and Lahaina is about 1/2 hour north. In other words, the location is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

There's a beach right across the street and you can hear it from your room. Its not the best beach in Maui but great for a nice walk early in the morning or in the evening, And great beaches are close by with plenty of free parking.

There's a fancy outdoor grill where you can grill whatever you want. There's also a washer & dryer that guests can use, which had I known ahead of time I could have packed less stuff. Oh well.

I think the other reviews here have pretty much nailed the details so I'll spare you from having to read it again from me.

Bottom line I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to family or friends.

Stayed for a week after spending a few days at the Marriott in Wailea. MUCH better value for money here. The Orchid Suite was fully equipped for a lovely honeymoon. Owner/caretaker was away on the mainland visiting family, but left us the number of someone she left in charge, who was spotted a couple of times and incredibly friendly. Didn't really need anyone anyhow.

Bed - really comfy. Interior decorations lovely (including candles). Fully equipped kitchen (with dishes/wine glasses/really anything you'd want for a week or two). Quiet - only saw a few couples very briefly while coming and going or swimming. Pool - spotless, small, and right outside your door (regardless of the suite you choose.) View - (Orchid suite balcony/lanai) - not great, probably the best of the complex, one CAN see the ocean, but only just, establishment next door/foilage/etc blocking the majority. You can hear the garden waterfall splashing into the coi pool downstairs outside the suite however, and there's generally a nice breeze blowing through that made up for it in my opinion. S. Kihei Rd is only a property away (the one blocking the view), so there is a little (imo) traffic noise, but definitely not enough to ruin the deal for me. Location - excellent and a big plus - the upside to being really close to S. Kihei Rd :) - we fell in love with Kihei as a community. Everything you could really want pretty close, but not too taken over by the big league resorts yet.

Bad stuff - upon arrival, the upstairs bedroom smelled a tad like vomit. (?) This dissipated fairly quickly - or we got used to it - and/or the open door helped. Never got the wireless intarwebs to work. Connected to the router just fine, but the router is/was not flowing through. These were minor details in our overall Pualani experience.

Will not hesitate to stay here again, and in fact are planning on going back periodically in the future as our budget allows. :)

of note: we didn't actually hit the beach directly across the street (snorkeling @ Wailea mostly,) but it looked fine from a distance.
