Don’t hesitate to book this place. You don’t know exactly what room you are getting but as long as you specify that you want Oceanview they will make sure you get it. Gordon was super responsive and helpful as we navigated the Hawaii travel restrictions. The resort is really nice and only a five minute walk to the boardwalk and a swimmable beach. Don’t be put off by the fact that the beach in front of the hotel is not swimmable. The hotel is taking all necessary precautions for Covid and yes there are some restrictions with towels and hot tub stuff but as long as you are not being a “Karen” about it, you will do just fine.
Lahaina is about 5 miles away and we went almost every night, although most stuff shuts down by 8:30. This is not a “nightlife” town! Do try Paia fish house and Down the Hatch for happy hour! Woohoo adult shaved ice! We stopped at costco before leaving for the hotel (about 45 minute drive to hotel) and cooked breakfast every morning in the little electric pan (no stove in the apt). Enjoy Hawaii and all its natural beauty! Mahalo!
