The grounds are very well kept and the pool is heated and kept between 80 - 85 degrees (one of the warmest and only heated pools in Kihei).

The absolute best time ever!
Sugar Beach exceeded our expectations! Our room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. The room provided everything we needed for both beach days and relaxing poolside. We cherished our morning walks along the beach and were captivated by the breathtaking sunsets enjoyed during our evening meals. Our entire family had a truly memorable experience and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return someday."

Honeymoon stay Sugar Beach
Great place, nice beach access, the facility and pool were very accessible. Unfortunately the wind tunnel effect of the sugar beach resort made it very difficult to enjoy in the afternoon. Blowing hats, books and flip flops away while trying to enjoy the pool. Thats the only reason we wouldn’t stay there again

Everything was perfect with a very slight glitch with door code not working. Owner and local contact person went above and beyond and truly exhibit the Aloha that keeps bringing us back to Maui. Everything we could have thought of was in place and the decor/art was outstanding!

A great place to stay!
I spent a great week in this beautiful unit. The top floor, end of hall location, has a great ocean view, as well as looking out to the volcano. Breakfast on the patio was so delightful. The location is perfect- close to airport, Costco, Walmart, Kihei, and Sugar Beach Event Center, which was the reason for my visit- my nephews wedding. I could have ended up anywhere, but was blessed to happen upon this unit! The unit was extremely clean, well stocked, and comfortable. Kristi was so easy to work with. She quickly responded to my questions and I felt like I knew her. Again, I was blessed to find this unit and would highly recommend it!!! Mahalo Kristi.

Just fine
There is a ton of road noise and a bunch of wind…the beach is decent, the actual condo is dated but perfectly adequate. The kitchen is well stocked while the dryer venting into the shower is gross from my perspective. Everything works and the lady that gives of a parking pass is pretty miserable. Hot tub was cold and grounds were well kept…you are close to a ton of stuff which is nice. I’d probably pick a different property off the main road next time just due to the noise in that I want to hear the ocean, not the cars 😊

Sugar Beach Resort
We love the location of sugar beach resort. We have stayed at this resort 2 times and have always been happy with our decision. This particular condo has road noise, but we expected it based on its location within the resort. I won’t say this resort is “fancy” but it has all the qualities (beachfront, pool, hot tub) for a great vacation. Bonus, is Dina’s sandwich shop, amazing Rueben sandwich!

Perfect Little Getaway
Everything was very nice. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai at night and looking at the ocean. You could even see Molokini and views of Haleakala in the morning colors were beautiful above the other building. Early morning walks on the beach were a great way to start the day. We had so much fun we never made it to the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

Well kept property in a quiet area. You could walk a long time on the beach and not run into lots of people. If you want lots of beach and sun, this is the place!

Easy Breezy
PH1 @ SBR was perfect for our brief island stay. The property owner and site manager were easy to work with and responsive to our concerns. This location allowed us to easily get to/from the airport, drive the road to Hana, summit sunrise at Haleakala, and hit the beach at Kanapali. The suite was well stocked with what we needed for our simple meals and the closet was also well supplied with beach chairs/umbrella, boogie boards, etc. The pull out sofa was a bit more comfortable for our DD and her BF after some elixirs at the adjacent pub. 😉 The beach is easy to walk and the view of the bay, Lanai and Molokini Crater is amazing! Snorkel in the morning as the beach gets quite breezy around 11am mid-summer.

Beautiful place, not walkable
The condo is lovely. Well stocked and clean. The entire property is completely nonsmoking, which we appreciated. The beach is pristine, and we often found ourselves the only ones there. The location is good but not walkable, if you're looking for that. There is an ABC store in walking distance and a sandwich shop on grounds, but that's it for things you won't need a car to get to. The ladies who manage the sandwich shop and bar are excellent to chat with. The staff were friendly and helpful. Kristi was responsive and helpful, but communication about check in and out times conflicted (site, email, and text provided different times) which made things a bit difficult to plan out initially. Nonetheless, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return. Kristi is a wonderful host, and we appreciate her! Mahalo!
