For perspective, we stayed 3 nights here, 5 nights at The Grand Wailea hotel and resort and 4 nights at a spectacular house in Hana.
Apples for apples, this condo was not as nice as the other places we stayed. However, there are three main main reasons why we enjoyed our stay so much here that we thought we would share them. The other places we stayed COULD NOT come close to the following:
1: Going to sleep with all the windows and doors open and listening to waves crash all night. In the master bedroom, you are sleeping roughly 50 feet or so from the ocean. You are on the top floor so not ground level. Considering one spends 6-8 hours a night in bed this was awesome.
2. The turtles. They were all over the place and they loved the area. We watched the turtles from the balcony feeding around the rocks below. They came everyday and there were over 20 turtles, large and small. The kids loved it, I loved it. We spend hours watching them. It was very cool.
3. The value. The cost was great. Based off of what I have seen this was one of the better values on the island. To us, #1 and #2 were worth the entire cost. Add in the stocked kitchen, washer dryer, good central location, it was icing on the cake.
Overall Leslie was a great host. We enjoyed our stay. The experience at this condo really added to the enjoyment of our vacation and our kids first trip to Hawaii!
