The condo is in a very good location and very safe/quiet. Having the beach just a short walk away was very convenient. The sunset views from there are breathtaking! Even the view from the pavilion pool area was beautiful.
For us, the above mentioned perks all outweighed the cons. After all, Maui is not meant to be enjoyed indoors!
Like others have mentioned, the place does need some updating.
Carpet is pretty gross and you are asked to remove shoes inside the condo (yikes)- bring extra slippers/sandals to wear inside.
No AC on main floor! Luckily, the weather was amazing and we spent most of the time out and about. The Murphy bed is on that floor so whoever sleeps there should be warned. We did appreciate that CBIP did accommodate us by bringing in an extra fan the same day we asked for one.
There is a large wooden storage box on the lanai with beach chairs, beach toys, pool floats and snorkel gear. We didn’t see these until our last day. We definitely would have gotten some use out of it if we’d known beforehand.
