We had a great time in Maui. The back Lanai was peaceful, a perfect place to enjoy a drink and relax. The pool was close, very nice. the beach is about a 8 to 10 min walk, but not spectacular. about a 10 minute ride to the Wailea shopping center and all the restaurants in the luxury hotels. Perfect if you like upscale dining.
Drawback to Kihei it's a very busy condo area, but some people just love that, especially families.
Yvonne was very pleasant and helpful, thank you
