After staying in condos in Kauai and Maui for two weeks, a three day weekend at the Pineapple Inn was just what we needed. A quiet, beautiful spot, tucked away from all the tourists and traffic. The beautiful grounds, breathtaking views, and friendly innkeepers were just what we needed to reflect on our vacation of a lifetime in Hawaii and prepare for our re-entry into the real world again.

Steve and Mark have created a true gem in the Pineapple Inn. Both are friendly, outgoing, and have a wealth of knowledge about the local beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The Inn is immaculate, attention has been given to every detail. This is the cleanest, place we have ever stayed.

If you love sunsets and ocean views, choose an upstairs room, we stayed in the Makena room. If stairs aren't your thing, then the downstairs rooms will work better. From the front porch of the downstairs room you can see the top of Haleakala on a clear day!

The pool and hot tub are wonderful after a long day at the beach! The pool is a "saline" pool, offering water that is warm and the same pH as your body. You can open your eyes underwater even with contact lenses! No harsh chemicals!

Mark and Steve have thought of everything. Fresh breakfast items are provided as well as everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach. (chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, coolers)

I would suggest any of the rooms for a short visit. If you plan a longer stay, the guest cottage would be your best bet!

We stayed at the Pineapple Inn in early October and was thoroughly impressed. I have read all the reviews on this site, so I had very high expectations. I must say that not only was I not disappointed, but in sereral ways the Inn was better than I expected. I need to clarify that most negatives that have been mentioned in other reviews were things that would not normally bother me, such as the highway close by that you cannot see from the property. We stayed in the upper level Makena room which has a great view from the Lanai. I cannot say enough about the grounds. It is a paradise with all the tropical fragrances and foilage, not to mention the lovely pool and fountains. The inn is a special hideaway that is close to the Wailea / South Kihei beaches and shopping. Another big plus is having parking practically right outside your door. This intimate setting is not for everyone, but if you desire a private, tropical paradise in South Maui with a spotless, well furnished, comfortable room amid immpecable surroundings this is the place for you!

My husband and I stayed at the Pineapple Inn (Molokini Room) for 5 days at the end of October. We were totally impressed.
The Basics - The location is great - close to restaurants and beaches. Well stocked fridge. Great value for the money.
The WOW factors - gorgeous landscaping, peaceful setting, immaculately clean rooms and grounds, and helpful and friendly hosts (Steve and Mark).
We stayed at the Hyatt in Kaui for the next 5 days, and though we were impressed, the Pineapple Inn made our trip to Hawaii special - somewhere to run away to.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Pineapple Inn in Maui in October. We had never been to Maui before and were surprised by the vastness of the island, travellers definitely need a car to get around. The Inn is in the Kihei/Makena district, so is close to some of the islands best beaches & a very upmarket shopping centre. The inn is set in beautiful gardens & is in pristine condition. The fridge is stocked with goodies for your arrival & a lovely welcome basket. We had the Makena room, upstairs which had ocean & headland views. The ONLY downfall with this property is that it backs onto a highway(which cannot be seen from the property, as the inn is set up on higher ground), but there is a fair bit of traffic noise when the heavy sound-proofed sliding door was open. (so there was minimal noise in the room, when the door was shut)
Overall though a beautiful place to spend a couple of days, whilst visiting Maui.
