This was our second time staying at the same exact place. We loved it and probably will come back next year too. The place is nice and spacious and in a great location. I love being able to sit on the lanai in the afternoon as the sun goes down. I would say staying here is great if you have kids. It's on the first floor so you don't have to worry about your kids jumping off the balcony and the living room is carpeted. You can rent a Pack N Play, high chair, and even toys from Maui On the Fly. We learned the best way to go to the beach from here with two small kids is to do this.....you could walk (about 10 minutes from the beach) but with small kids it's easiest to get up early and drive down to one of the free public beach parking spots. There are about 20 spots at the Sheraton that fill up right after 8 am. You can also go to Whaler's village and get your parking validated for 3 hours at a time with a purchase of any of the stores there. You can get 2 validations for a total of 6 hours of free parking. So anyhow, get to the beach before 8 am and get a free parking spot at the Sheraton. Then walk over to the beach there at Black Rock and snorkel. This is one of the best spots to snorkel right off the beach. There are usually a few sea turtles hanging out there too! By 10:30 it starts to get kind of hot so either you go back to the place or have lunch at Whaler's village.
