It may be close to the ocean, but so many things wrong with this place. The room had a pocket door that was off track so there was no privacy between the shower & toilet from the bedroom & sink. Called for maintenance to come & fix it. They never came, nor called, texted or emailed. Front desk states they have nothing to do with private rooms, so they are of no help if there is a problem. The patio door doesn't lock & a piece of the air conditioning unit fell off in the middle of the night. Low fan speed is not low, it is quite strong & blows in your face if you stay on the bed next to it. Coffee for guests would be nice who are Staying there. I would not stay there again even if it is the cheapest place to stay.

We have stayed at the Maui Banyan several times before. Our room, Q405 was very clean and had an excellent partial ocean view. The unit was just missing a few kitchen items, such as a “flipper” and cutting board…nothing that affected our enjoyment of Maui. The grounds are very well kept, and bbq area kept spotless! We would request this unit when we return to beautiful Maui once again!

I STRONGLY recommend avoiding this place. I am very upset with Expedia for hosting this place. The room is outdated. The Internet was slow and kept dropping. The loud and cold AC was less than 1 foot from the bed. I could not sleep with the AC on, and the room was unbearably hot. I called the management the first night about the AC and if they can move us. I was promised in the morning. I never got a callback. Worst place I have been ever.

The lockout was fine, had nice shower. The air conditioning was intermittent and loud. Worst part was no ice available. Small fridge didn’t have freezer and no ice machine on property made it hard to take food to beach.

Not so great experience
At our arrival time, the front desk ladies were not friendly; I asked several questions regarding towels, cleaning service, etc. One of them said no tools or cleaning service is all on your own, the unit owner provides you with a few things, and you have to do the rest. :( The washer machine was broken. The technician checked it out on our third day, but it was not fixed until two days before our departure. We were there for 16 days. The unit furniture needs an update. The couch and decorative pillows are ancient and small, and the air conditioner is very loud.

The property is well-situated as it is walking distance to places to eat and the beach is across the street. However, the AC is poor so we did not sleep well. It is on a 4 hour timer so when it turns off in the middle of the night you wake up roasting and have to get up to turn the timer AC back on. We will NOT stay here again for that reason.

The property was really nice, beautiful lush grounds. Pools were really nice also. Well kept up. Great location, right access from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Was not happy with the rooms. Our condo did not match the photos on the Expedia web site. Kitchen and bathroom very dated (it was not like the room photos) ! Grout and mold in bathroom. We were able to move to a different condo, still outdated! Had multiple issues at both locations. Not happy with the condition of both room.

We were fortunate to get H208 which had a nicely renovated kitchen, floors, bathrooms with very clean and comfortable furniture. Not exactly a "garden view" but more like partial ocean view when you turn the chairs on the lanai to the left and is quite pleasant. A very quiet and peaceful setting throughout. The front desk can't help you if you have any problems in your condo. Castle Maui Banyan is managed by KSM Castle Resorts & Hotels. See your email reservations for contacting them. We needed a frying pan and they delivered one quickly. Great location.

Loved the landscaping!!! Beautiful! Parking not so much. Room was comfortable. However, room wasn’t serviced at all during stay. Ran out of towels, had to go buy some. When I asked front desk, they said our room was “privately owned” and they couldn’t service us. They were polite about it tho. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

A very convenient location with the beach right across the street! Had a variety of dining / grocery store options close by. The apartment had all the necessities. Two things that could improve: A frying pan is a must in the kitchen. Because the fridge did not have an ice maker, an ice cube tray would have been helpful. Also at a minimum provide salt and pepper shakers and sugar.

Fantastic location! Easy parking. We really like this hotel and would go back. Here's the catch though. Do NOT rent through Castle as they're privately owned and do NOT provide house keeping services or re filling of basic household needs. Book through Austin. This is the main Hotel company. Why not get some basic housekeeping and t.p./p.t. etc? Same price.... Argh! I didn't know they were different when booking, and will not make that mistake again. This is not made clear when booking. Great property overall.

Mediocre but will do in a pinch.
Very average. Clean place, but signs say keep all open food in fridge. Which I did. Still saw a cockroach in the unit. Was just at another place for 10 days in Lahaiana, kept food out all the time, never saw a bug. Hallways are stunningly bland, unit was appointed adequately but not invitingly. Parking lot views for almost all units. Pool was gross. Both pools are too small for the humungous size of the poroperty. Kids are in there all day and by night time the waters are murky and I sure as heck wasn't going in the much played in water. So many units and such small pools, so it is like forcing kids into pens, of course the pools will get filthy by no fault of the parents. On the check in instructions they send you they claim the office is open until 10:00. But it is only open until 9:00 -- could be a problem for late flights. Never figured out how to work the TV, including volume control. Air conditioner only in the living room. Too loud and small. Fans keep the place cool enough at night but not during the day. Balcony very narrow and looking only at a parking lot. Two full baths are nice. Newish furniture but dull. Lighting off putting. Nice, large rooms though.
