Overall my mom and I enjoyed our one week stay at Royal Mauian 206. The location is terrific...situated right on the ocean between Kamaole 1 and 2 beaches. We spent a lot of time on the shaded lanai whale watching, playing cards (when not too windy), drinking our morning coffee, and dinners in. The spacious rooftop deck was also a great plus, complete with grills, tables, and great sunset views. The master bed was very comfortable, and master bath well-appointed. My mom loved the pool, and the great oceanfront location to relax. Coldwell Banker was quick to respond to questions I had before and after booking, and also had unit available for check-in a couple hours early, which was so great. They also promptly reset the door code when we were locked out because door code got changed prematurely. Thanks, Jay!
There were some things that were not terrific about our stay...and while nothing I will mention had a major impact on our stay, they are worth mentioning. Due to the high volume of foot traffic in front of/around building, there was a lot of noise. All but one night there were people on the beach until midnight being very loud, and each morning starting at 6am there are dogs barking and people walking and talking. In a word...LOUD. I personally need more than 6 solid hours of sleep a night, so it was a big bummer to have to close the windows to have any quiet. The sound of the waves during the quiet night hours were spectacular...just not enough of it to enjoy fully.
The guest bathroom has no storage; it would be great to see a cabinet/shelves placed above toilet to provide a place to put items. The guest tub has very high sides...so high my mom did not feel safe stepping into/out of tub. Also the outlets in guest bath did not work.
The guest bedroom is situated along outside walkway, and would be noisy if the windows were opened. One of the windows is completely broken jealousey shutters do not move as knob broken), and that same screen does not fit in window.. I took a video, please reach out to me if you would like to see. Also, the guest bed windows are strange...it is impossible to open more than 2 at a time due to the set up.
There is so much furniture in this unit. The unit itself is decent size for Hawaii, but the amount of and bulkiness of furniture makes it feel so cramped and cluttered. Also it would be great to have taller lanai chairs, so guests could see over the railing easier.
