8.4/10 Very Good! (486 reviews)

The Gardens at West Maui are a nice home away from home. While you won't find all the bells and whistles like all the neighboring resorts what you will find is a comfy bed, a washer and dryer, a kitchen to cook with all the tools, a shower with good pressure and decent hot water I say that because it wasn't always screaming hot like I like, Personal preference. While you have to clean up and do your own housekeeping if that doesn't bother you this is the place for you! What you get in return...ample free parking, right across the street from Napili Bay, right next to golf course and trail. The one bedroom has two bathrooms so if you're not into sharing with a significant other you'll have your own. I found this condo to be quiet and affordable, While I didn't have a sweeping ocean view, I had great internet and cable and my own ice maker. I found myself enjoying comfort over view as I just had to walk across the street. I enjoyed the roosters they have personality so if you don't think you like hearing that pack a mini fan to drown them out. The pool was warm and the hot tub was hot not sure why some people where saying it isn't. The bbq doesn't get very hot but maybe that was user error. The grounds where nice the front office lady was extremely inviting and helpful. This place is affordable and comfy and for the most part quiet, I didn't have any noisy neighbors. This is an honest review and I will stay here again when I return to Maui.

The resort charged me $165 for resort fees. These are condos with a shared pool. No other services. It is my understanding that the resort fees are included in the total price on Expedia so this was an unpleasant surprise. Our room had cockroaches and other bugs. No services. I am not happy about this charge and no resort amenities. I had cockroached and bugs in my room
