Maui wowy! First, the island is beautiful and the KOA resort is safe, nicely located and clean. Checkin/out was easy. It was great to have beach chairs (and a sturdy umbrella) as part of the stay, but the chairs were a bit old and bent. While technically the resort is across the street from the beach, it’s not the most swimable beach, and the road is super busy. We ended up driving to other beaches to hang out and swim (which we planned on doing anyway). It was beautiful to walk along though, and provided for some amazing sunsets! The bedrooms of the unit we stayed in also back onto a busy side road so there is a bit of traffic noise (only an issue for light sleepers). And the door to the unit is in the back as well meaning you have to walk around to get to the pool (which was beautiful, with plenty of lounge chairs, and exactly as pictured). On the other hand, the living room and lanai look out on the immaculate inner court yard and pool providing a very relaxing and peaceful place to have your morning coffee, chill after a day at the beach, or dine al fresco. Overall a good and safe experience, and a good value for price.
