This place is great! The location of the apartment at the ground floor is perfect. You can sit outside and walk straight into the ocean. We saw seaturtles when we where having breakfast at the lanai. The beach sand is a bit hard, so we didn’t spend much time on the beach besides swimming. But the resort has plenty of sunbeds on the lawn next to the beach. The resort also has a nice swimmingpool. We really liked Kihei also, not to fancy or to touristy. We normally spent the mornings at the resort, and had an activity like hiking, boattrip, roadtrip etc. later in the day. The winds in Kihei and more or less the whole island is pretty strong from noon, and makes it difficult to lay on the beach or by the pool (at least if you want to be able to read a book). For a beach trip with less (almost no) wind, go further west towards Napili. A very small, but very nice beach was Honokowai. Easy parking, showers, toilets, playground and coffeshop and farmers market across the street. Bring you snorkeling gear! Viktoria was a great host, giving us all the information we needed. I definitely recommend this place!
