My husband, 8 month old and I had a lovely time staying here for our first trip to Maui. Sugar beach is a good central location, with relatively short driving distances to Wailea, Lahaina, Paia, Haleakala, airport, etc. A nice beach walk away from a small complex (which has an amazing bakery, farmers market, ABC store and a shave ice spot), which makes for pretty morning or early afternoon walks. Sugar beach resort itself is in a bit of a wind tunnel, so we experienced a fair amount of wind on our trip while on the patio and also down by the pool/hot tub. Unit was has advertised, had everything we needed. I found accommodations to be expensive, and may try to research more next time to find better value for money.
