We stayed at Aina NALU with Carol. This is a large resort right in downtown Lahaina with those benefits described by previous reviewers. We particularly appreciated being able to walk to catch an excursion ride at the harbor or eat at one of the many excellent restaurants in the area. We very much enjoyed our time at Baby Beach and other beaches that are walkable. We especially appreciated Carol's quick response to any issue we had that came up. There are a couple of situations that people should be aware of. Carol seems to manage a number of properties and you should be aware of that the photos are generic. It is necessary to communicate exactly what you are renting. The community property at this resort seems to be managed by one company but there are a number of rental platforms including Airbnb that are utilized by the owners to rent out their units. There's a little bit of infighting that seems to be going on between these various companies. For example the pools all say that wristbands are required to use the pools. Airbnb did not provide us with wristbands but no one ever asked us for our wrist bands. As another example one would think that an owner would have an assigned parking space that you are then renting as part of the unit. However the manager for the property collects a $20 per day parking fee. So there is a little bit of expense and quirkiness going on but nothing that prevents you from having a wonderful time in this ideal part of the world.
