The condo is nice and the area is great. Convenient location with shops and a market. The snorkeling is excellent there. The grounds are immaculate and the staff is friendly. The condo is a bit dated, but in good shape apart from some stained carpet. The condo complex however is not very welcoming to renters. Twice during our one week stay the ocean front pool and pavilion were closed to renters. I read about this in another review which prompted me to inquire with the Wilea Elua Village management. They stated that renters have access to the pool, but there is a hidden work around that they have devised to keep renters out of the pool at their discretion. They call the closures “annual owners meetings/events”, and then assign a random title to each event to make it sound like it’s not a routine closure. But, there were two “annual” closures during our stay. This is clearly an internal effort to exclude renters from parts of the amenities that you are paying for. Had the management been transparent about amenities closures I would not be upset. However, I was not given this info when I inquired specifically about it. They do this, obviously, because they don’t want to deter renters, yet they also don’t seem to want renters there. Also, the pool has enforced quiet hours from 4pm to 6pm everyday. If you are a retiree and don’t like kids, you would enjoy this. But if you are a family who spends the day on the beach and then likes to cool off at the pool afterwards, then Wilea Elua is not for you. So, to summarize, this is a nice property in an excellent location, but the owners/management are averse to renters and not forthcoming about planned closures, and I would therefore consider other options in the Wilea area before renting at Wilea Elua. The (much larger) condo complex slightly north of Wilea Elua is called Wilea Ekahi… it is nice, has more pools, and far less restrictions.
