The good news:
The apartment looks straight over the beach and out to the ocean: it is in a great position and offers a fabulous view.
The apartment is spacious and the kitchen fairly well equipped.
It has plenty of free parking and the staff at check-in are pleasant.
There is a small gym which is airconditioned.
The bar/ restaurant was super: friendly staff and a good range of food and drinks (albeit quite expensive - like everything in Maui!).
The bad news:
The apartment is a bit tired and dated throughout. The soft furnishings are a little old and grubby in places and some of the linens were damaged and/or stained. The sliding doors don’t fit/slide properly and there is a dangerous open electrical socket in lounge area. There’s no plug in the bath (I used the plug from the sink) and a broken lounger on the balcony but the biggest issue is the lack of a/c as, contrary to legend, the sea breeze and fans just don’t cut it. When the fans are all on (many of which were filthy and we had to clean them before use) were very noisy, making it difficult to watch TV or have a conversation... at least it drowns out the noisy neighbours!
We also got hit with a $75 check in fee which was not included in the original Airb&b quote: we were advised of this fee only AFTER booking and paying the deposit.
The resort location doesn't offer much in the way of restaurants and bars locally, on reflection I think we should have chosen to stay in Ka'anapali or Lahaina and I would urge anyone else considering this side of the island to do the same!
