You’ve all heard the saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This is certainly true for our beach condo resort a part of Kihei Maui's history, since 1969, The Hale Pau Hana, and it’s a good thing! For over five decades we’ve been honored to give our our guests and owners a home away from home — a place to escape, relax, and to share the aloha spirit.

While there have been some notable improvements around the property over the years, there is something timeless about this piece of paradise and one of the reasons why our guests return year after year. Take a look at these the pictures below — some taken 50 years apart — and we think you’ll see what we mean!

The Condo Resort Property: 1974 & Now

You’ll find more Hawaiian flowers of Maui around the resort grounds and the palm trees have certainly grown, but the Low Rise, the High Rise, and Anchor Cove are as recognizable as a city skyline. And seeing the kiawe tree still thriving is always a welcome sight for our long-time ‘ohana!

The Resort's Pool: Early 1970s & Now

Did you know that guests did water aerobics in the early years? There are still some motivated ‘ohana that hop into the pool to get their heart rate going, but you’re more likely to see lots of lounging these days!

The Resort Ground's Loungers: 1974 & Now

Speaking of loungers, everyone has their favorite chair! Back in the day you would hear the sounds of a friendly game of shuffleboard while you soaked up the sun, shown in the first photo below. It was replaced by more lawn many years ago, so now all you’ll hear is the sound of those gentle conditions of the South Kihei beach waves.
