This is an excellent location within walking distance to restaurants and Pohaku Park/beach (Maui Brewing, sushi, great coffee shop, and a quaint pub short walk across the street). If you like to walk - we suggest a trip to the farmers market/and deli nearby (across from Honokowai Beach Park). Enjoy fresh food and delicious, healthy smoothies! The beach area was not accessible directly outside, but the views from the chairs along the grass and pool area were perfect for whale watching and there is beach access very close by. The lanai was amazing, the view was even better than shown - we watch whales breach while sipping coffee on the lanai! If you like sleeping to the sound of the ocean, you will not be disappointed (suggest opening the door vent and the sliding door to take advantage of the awesome fresh breeze!)
