Great location right on the beach in Kihei. We have stayed near Lahina before but preferred Kihei as it feels more local and laid back (not as touristy), and has far easier access to the rest of the island.
Oceanfront complex with a great pool area and nicely groomed grounds and a very nice pool and hot tub area with a full outdoor kitchen and several nice gas grills. Our unit had a full kitchen complete cooking staples (dry spices, dish soap, laundry soap, paper towels, etc).
Great beach access on the property and a 5 min beach walk (to the right as you walk toward the water) from an unbelievable breakwater lagoon filled with sea turtles that swim right at your feet!
We had a slight miscue on our room reservation but Leslie and the staff made our stay seamless.
I can't say enough about how nice they were there. We felt like family!
We will definitely be looking to stay at Luana Kai again the next time we come to Maui!
