I know this is a tired topic in the Maui forum, but I haven't seen many recent posts about this topic in the Wailea and Kihei specific forums.
Does anyone have recommendations of hotels, Airbnb's, or other rentals for the Wailea/Kihei area of Maui that are very clean and are free of cockroaches? Places to avoid are also helpful. The reviews and forum threads I've been reading have made me very nervous! I know I can't be guaranteed to not run into one, but I'd hope that a 95% chance of having a roach-free room is not unreasonable (but please let me know if it is).
Trip would be August 2021 for about 4-5 nights. A kitchen/kitchenette is a requirement due to allergies.

Please refrain from commenting that Hawaii is a tropical island and that I need to suck it up. I'm well aware of this, and I have the option of simply not going on this trip if I feel uncomfortable. I have a very bad phobia of cockroaches, primarily because I lived in an infested apartment in LA, and then a year later, had one fall on me from the ceiling in a cabin in Texas on vacation. I'm aware this is an irrational fear, and I am going to therapy to help with this and other anxieties. But I'm not counting on being "cured" of this fear in less than a year.
Please be compassionate and respectful! Thank you!
