A home away from home

We stayed in unit P105 for 8 nights with a Costco travel package and everything was so much better than expected. We had a 1bedroom suite with full kitchen and 2 bathrooms, everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped - it even had pots and pans, cutting boards, coffee machine, plates and silverware- it was easy for us to cook and feel at home while the beautiful Kamaole Park II beach was literally across the street. We went for a swim almost every day, snorkeling with the friendly turtles and grabbed a bite from the close-by shops and restaurants when we wanted to take a break from the sun. Front desk customer service was impeccable, we had a problem with the garbage disposal and they fixed it while we were out, same day. Everything we asked kindly, we received immediately. Their pools are clean, roomy and inviting. I could not ask for more or better from our couple vacation. If you're looking for a budgeted stay in Maui, Airbnb style with 5star hotel- like customer service, this is the place for you. We'll definitely be back! Mahalo for helping us create beautiful memories for ourselves.
Best Vacation EVER!!!

I came to Maui from Oahu and expected the Waikiki experience (loud, bustling, crowded, no parking, etc.) but the Aston at Maui Banyan was completely different. First, the front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. They upgraded my room to a King Deluxe Garden View (originally, we would have had a view of the parking lot). Parking! You get a parking pass plus there’s plenty more places to park. They also have convenient benches/tables for smokers and thinkers. The room was more than I could hope for; clean, modern, and it maintained the Hawaiian vibe. The view of the garden was gorgeous. We could see the ocean from the balcony. Location!! The beach is very close (across the street!) and a plethora of quaint souvenir stores and boutiques in both directions. Restaurants, shave ice, and food trucks nearby. The first 2 of our 5 days stay I spent sick in bed - a very cozy bed that you should make yourself. If you didn’t see the disclaimer, you have to pay housekeeping fees if you forget to put your “don’t bother me” card on the doorknob. But don’t worry, they only come once during your stay. You can always ask for more towels, linens, soap, etc. at the front desk. The grounds were well maintained and clean. You can use the grills in the pool areas. It’s a good way to save money and not eat out at restaurants and trucks your whole stay. Most of the food on Maui and other islands is $15+ a plate. You’re still supporting local businesses if you buy groceries from locally owned stores. Walmart is close though, if you need something on the fly. The Maui Banyon’s location is perfect. We walked to the ocean every night to watch the ethereal Maui sunset. The Maui Banyon impressed me so much, I was ready to book my next stay on the first day! I would literally live there if I could. I can’t wait to go back!!
Top notch service, clean rooms

I am working on business to assist those affected by the wildfires. My company booked a room and the only thing available was a small room. I'm here for three weeks. I stopped by the front office to see if they had anything larger. Jessica is AMAZING!!! She was able to secure an outstanding condo on the top floor! What a blessing! The rooms are extremely clean and well taken care of. When I come back to Maui I will be staying at the Aston! You all are top notch!
Great location near beach

This property is a great choice in terms of price and proximity to Kamaole Beach Park II, which is very nice and just across the street. Management is exceptionally responsive and went out of their way to assist us. The unit we stayed in, P403, is a roomy one-bedroom suite that has been recently renovated with almost all new and updated finishes (other reviewers have noted that some units have not been updated—individual owners furnish units, so decor will vary). This particular unit also features a beautiful ocean view from the balcony, and an adjoining room is available (we did not book the extra room). The stacking washer/dryer is handy. Bed is comfortable. Kitchen is adequately (though perhaps not generously) stocked with dishes and cookware. If you plan to do much cooking, consider bringing some pantry basics like salt, pepper, oil, etc., if you prefer not to buy full-sized containers locally, as you won’t find any in this kitchen. A kitchen knife or two might be nice as well, to supplement the one dull knife provided. This is a condo, not a hotel room, so provided you don’t expect a full array of hotel amenities and around the clock service, it’s a great and very comfortable place to stay. Four stars rather than five for location only because restaurants within easy walking distance are not abundant. Location is terrific in that it’s central and not too far to drive to many spots on Maui.
Maui stay

Great location but the property is showing its age. Spacious 1 bed apartment good for a family of four. Onsite free car park if you have a rental. Close the beach and restaurants - couple of great food trucks around. Lot cheaper than staying at Kaanapali.
