Susan and I will remember our stay at Kealia Resort always. Maui is a beautiful island and our Kihei location was a smart choice. Grocery shopping and restaurants were a short drive south. We liked Tamura's for poke (and adult beverages), also the Safeway and food trucks on Pikea Avenue were convenient.
The apartment was compact and very comfortable, with an outstanding terrace that overlooked the beach and Pacific Ocean. A big bonus: the lanai is on the best side of the building because it looks out on a broad, palm-lined green space bordered by the Outrigger Voyaging Society and Canoe Club, which featured lots of action almost daily with crowds of children, outriggers, sailboats and chanting, happy Hawaiians. The scene was a delight.
The weather was very warm and windy, but comfortable overall. Next time, we will come earlier in the year (perhaps March) so that we can go Humpback whale watching which we missed out on this trip.
