Noelani was listed as a "Real Gem" in the book "Maui Revealed" (which was a great book to take along). Noelani exceeded our expectations. As new visitors to Hawaii, we were thrilled when we entered our one bedroom condo in the Anthurium building to find a spotlessly clean, fully equipped (down to laundry detergent) condo with a view from our lanai that was absolutely breathtaking. We loved everything about our 10 day stay there---the two pools, the hot tub, the lovely grounds, the friendly and helpful staff, the proximity to the ocean and surrounding beaches. The residents who own condos and live there parttime were even friendly and helpful.
Two big thumbs up for Noelani. Enjoy your Maui vacation!
Include "Warren and Annabelle's" dinner theatre package while you're there. You won't be sorry you did.

My wife and I stayed in a one bedroom deluxe oceanfront (in the Atrium building) for 12 nights....in room 202. This condo was fully equiped.

- Bedroom: At the rear, equipped with ceiling fan, sattelite TV, very confortable bed and large mirrored closet.

-Hallway: Equipped with 2 closets. One closet contained a clothes washer and dryer with supplied soap. The other closet had a room safe + sports and beach equipment to use, like beach umbrellas and boogy boards.

-Bathrrom was standard and fairly modern. (soaps shampoos and towels were re-supplied on a regular basis,,,,,frequency depending on length of stay)

-Kitchen: Was fully equipped with full size fridge, microwave, toaster, dishes, etc. Also a collection of spices and sauces that other renters have left

- Living room / dining room: Spacious and very nicely decorated. Included an L shaped couch that you could sleep on, sound system with CDs, library with book selection, sattelite TV with DVD, ceiling fan and floor to ceiling patio door and windows overlooking the Pacific ocean.

- Balcony (Lanai) our favourite part - equipped with table and chairs + l lounge chairs, the ocean was about 15 feet in front of us with nothing in between. We ate all our breakfasts on the balcony while spotting sea turtles, surfers or sailing ships.

Our condo unit was VERY clean and well maintained.

There is a central pool area (2 pools, 1 heated, 1 not + whirlpool) that has 2 gas BBQs

The Atrium building (where we stayed) is probably the quietest building as it is away from the pool area. The only thing to note is the bedrooms in the "one bedroom deluxe" are at the rear and have louvered windows which don't completely shut out sound. Our unit was just adjacent to the exterior stair way so there is potential to get distrubed if someone is not being quiet during the quiet hours,,,,,,however, we never experienced any problems.

If you're sensitive to noise, I would suggest to request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor near the center of the building (away from the exterior stairways)

We're very pleased that we didn't choose to stay in a large resort and instead chose Noelani condos. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves, then waking to breakfast on our lanai and reading a book or just staring out to sea was very special. Every day we went on some kind of Maui adventure......it was so nice to come back to our piece of paradise at the end of each day.

We have been to this condomionium 4 times in the past 2 years. Location on West Maui is great between Kapalua and Ka'anapali. It is close proximity (walking distance) to stores and restuarants. Our favorite morning exercise is to stroll down Lower Honoapiilani Rd to Bad Ass Coffee for morning java and browse around the local farmer's market. (Monday, Wednesday and Friday).

The accomodations are clean, with full kitchens to save on cost of eating out. All suites are Ocean front, with beautiful vistas of Molokai and Lanai. Sunsets to die for. We enjoyed watching the turtles feed off the rocks in front of the condo. Take your binoculars during whale season!!

Our favorite local beach is just up the road, Napili. Napili has great sand and shade for relaxing and reading. At times, surf for buggy boarding and good snorkeling. Also great snorkeling a little further up in Honolua Bay (wild life preserve.)

The Noelani has two ocean front pools and a hot tub, also ocean front. Weekly they have a free Mai Tai party on the pool deck. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Best of all, price is very reasonable. My friend, Molli, was used to staying $400/night in Wailea. Since staying at the Noelani, in 2006, she has been back 5 times. She no longer even considers staying in Wailea.

I basically woke up every morning to crashing waves, an ocean mist, and birds chirping. I was about as close to the water I could possibly get. My wife and I stayed in room 117. The room was a 600 sqft studio apt. It came with a full kitchen, studio room, and bathroom. The place was small but who cares!!! I kept our sliding glass door open the entire stay. The ocean, 2 pools, the bar, the BBQ, and the Hot tub were all within 5 to 10 feet from my room. This place was a dream. My wife and I stocked up on stuff we purchased at the local Safeway store. If you've got a Vons card, then it also works at the local Safeway there. You'll save an incredible amount of money by shopping there. Don't shop at the Star Market. The prices were insane and the fruit was old.

If you're looking for a great ocean front room with all the right extras, then this is your place. If you're looking for a nice big room.......then don't expect ocean front. You might as well go to Vegas. My entire family stayed at the Kanapala Villa's and none of them had ocean views.
