Ratings and reviews
A handwritten (unsigned) note on the kitchen counter informed us that the Management Co. would be looking after this problem in the ‘next few’ days.
We spend the next few days putting fresh and frozen food into fridges in “other units’ on the fourth and first floors of the same building, also managed by Maui Condo, while these units were unoccupied. After that we had to purchase styrofoam coolers and ice bags twice daily at the local gas station in order to keep our food and beverages cold. We like to buy our own groceries and cook our meals instead of going to restaurants. After 5 days a used Loaner Fridge was delivered. At that point we were grateful that we had a working fridge at all. After some tense phone conversations with the company representative we were refunded $1000 to our credit card for our troubles.( Our toal bill for a 3 week stay was over $9,000) Considering that this company advertises itself as managing 240 condos on Maui we found it surprising that they wouldn’t have “Emergency” appliances available, (even just a small bar fridge) to substitute temporarily in cases as this. Surely fridges and other appliances must be braking down in one or more of these 240 condos at any given time. Apart from the fridge issue, the condo was definitively one of the better condos we rented at Kahana Reef, nicely renovated and reasonably well cleaned. A broken fridge was much more detrimental to our stay than a couple of silverfish in the kitchen drawers, ......after all it is Maui.
