We've stayed at the Mahana many different times but never thru Gather vacations. I was impressed by the pics shown online mostly because it was decorated differently than other rooms we stayed in previously. The entire condo had been remodeled and it was luxurious. You can't beat the view from anywhere in the condo. The kitchen had absolutely everything needed to feel as though you were at home. We spent 2 weeks there and wished it would have been longer. Thank you for your attention to detail in every corner.
The place was absolutely amazing! The perfect size with everything you could possibly need. The view is outstandingly beautiful! We saw turtles swim up to the shore a few afternoons. Great view of the stars at night too! We would very highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Maui!
Quick and easy check in. We were able to check in a little earlier than we thought. Full kitchen with basic items needed.
Very clean and perfect location!
Location is perfect. Right near ocean, pool, restaurant, bar. Nice view of water. Huge patio. Not over furnished, lots of room in unit. Very pleased!

Being right on the beach is amazing. Kaanapali beach is the best on Maui and this unit is right in the middle of best strip. 5 min from Whaler’s village where you can eat delicious food and do shopping.

Everything was as shown in pictures and reviews, we enjoyed our stay and the property.
What a beautiful unit! The furnishings and updates were so lovely and listening to the waves crash each night was heaven. Of not fault of the owners, the whole building's AC was down. My only complaint is the communication with the management company. The temporary AC unit placed in the room to help with the warm week was not working and smelled very hot-it did not feel safe. We left a message twice with the number provided and but never heard from them. Other than that, really lovely.

Absolutely beautiful! The location and proximity to the beach cannot be beat. This I was our 4th trip to Maui and we always stay at MKV. This was our first time at this property and it was by far the best unit we’ve stayed in. Property was clean and had everything we needed to make our vacation smooth and easy. Property management was very communicative and quickly responded to any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend!

My family enjoyed this place so much!! Pool was so fun! Beach was so close and perfect! Front desk was helpful and welcoming! Water fill station and hot coco/coffee in the morning were great! Place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed eating in the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. Sunset was visible!

A/C was out and they didn’t disclose until we landed. In talking with people in the building it had been out for sometime so the company acting as if it was recent was a lie. So it was hot and miserable BUT the worst was the roach infestation. They tried to tell me they had “flown over from the fires” but they were the small ones running all over the counters, cabinets and even inside the dishwasher and sinks! At night going to the bathroom I had to flip on lights so as to not step on one. When I reported it they just said they “sprayed really good”. It was horrible! We had to throw away food we had set on the counter and we ended up not using the kitchen at all because of this problem. According to the rental agreement they should had offered a different place since it was not actually livable. The only good thing was the view. I don’t recommend them or this unit. I am pretty sure they won’t let this review stand either. We will see.

Stayed MKV before so knew location and amenities were great. Central AC for entire complex was out starting in late January. Would prefer that Hawaii Life had disclosed that when they found out. Probably would not have changed anything since we had made full payment by then. Replacement AC units were supplied but were noisy so we did not use them. Love the old school vibe of location/property..plenty of grass and pool space without the crowds of the mega resorts.

The property is beautiful and well maintained. The views are just like what you see in description of property. Would highly recommend to family and friends. You won't be disappointed.
Well equipped kitchen and BBQ area, proximity to the Kaanapali beach walk and lovely pool area are our highlights! The lanai was perfect for watching the sunset and we saw whales off the coast at every meal. The unit was spacious for two people, and we enjoyed our early mornings and early bedtimes very much since it was so quiet!

We loved our stay in Mahana #1118. The condo has a spectacular view of the ocean and everything you could possibly need; fully stocked kitchen and everything to take to the beach. We used the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, beach toys and cooler everyday! The TVs were great for evening downtime, and the lanai was my happy place for reading at sunset and sunrise!If you're looking for a resort pool with poolside food service, this place is not for you. But I think the view is hard to beat!The beach right in front of the building is a reef, so great for snorkeling but not great for swimming, boogie boarding or playing in the ocean. We headed south to Black Rock for those activities.

From the moment we walked into the Mahana resort, we felt at ease. It’s a quiet location nestled in right at the ocean’s front door. There is a pool and hot tub, beautiful lawn with comfortable chairs, and beach access. The unit is on the eleventh floor and the view and sounds of the surf from it are magnificent. It is tastefully and beautifully decorated, bright and beachy, without compromising comfort. The photos online are very accurate. The hosts were attentive, very responsive, and even left us gifts upon arrival. While staying in the unit, we enjoyed listening to the surf at night and in the morning from the bedroom (extremely comfortable bed) and sitting by the huge floor to ceiling window in the living room and watching whales in the distance while having coffee. Binoculars were provided that made this pastime even better. In the evenings, we sat on the lanai with some wine and appetizers to watch the sunset. We found beach chairs, bags, and soft-sided coolers in the hall closet. Beach towels were also provided. I would highly recommend this unit for its location, cleanliness and comfort, as well as the attentiveness of the property managers. While we were on island, we visited the PAC Whale Foundation for a whale watching tour. You do have to drive across the island because Lahaina is closed, but it wasn’t far. We also drove up the coast to the Nakalele Blowhole, magnificent. We visited Kapalua golf course for breakfast one morning and for dinner we visited Merriman’s Kapalua and The Banyon Tree at The Ritz Carlton.Overall, it was a magnificent stay and I would visit again.
