A great place to stay! We had an early dinner at Mama's Place the first night we arrived and it was fantastic. Grom's is about a two minute walk to Mama's Place for dinner or drinks and a two minute walk to a sandy beach great for snorkeling (Mama's Beach) and a rocky beach that's great for looking at tide pools. Saw turtles every single day at Mama's Beach! The turtles were plentiful everywhere we went - except at Molokini. We went to Molokini on a 7am trip with Four Winds II and saw so many whales on the trip over! We went to Ulua Beach in Wailea and when we went underwater (at the sandy beach), we heard the whales communicating and they were VERY loud! Sounded so close! Ulua has a sandy beach and snorkeling, a bathroom and free parking however the lot does fill up so plan to arrive by 9:00am.
Grom's has a very good kitchen with everything we needed. We stopped at Costco after we picked up our rental car and bought basic groceries. We cooked breakfast 'at home'. EVERYWHERE we ate was fantastic! Flatbread Pizza Kalua pork pizza was great. Cafe Mambo, Fish Market, and Mana's Groceries hot deli were all excellent. You will probably want a rental car, and will want to stop at Costco to fuel car before you return it.
