Lahaina is a very touristy area, I’ll start with that. Prices here is where we felt the whole “Hawaii is so expensive” saying (we stayed in Kihei and Hana the 6 days before this stay). As for this stay, be aware there is a $20 per day parking fee that I don’t believe I remember reading about. I understand that the management company of that condo controls that, but for how much we paid for our stay, the price of parking should of been included. There is, however street parking that I feel you need to get lucky to find a spot, we found spots our whole stay, we didn’t pay for parking. But not finding parking right in front, means you’re in for a very inconvenient time.
The place was definitely nice, including the pool. I was thrown off by having timers (those hot tub timers you spin to turn on) on the AC units in the condo. The 2 bedrooms and living room had a limit of 4 hours they’d stay on. So you’re awoken by a loud shut off noise and dead silence forcing you to get up and turn the AC back on. That along with all of the very strict rules in that complex didnt give me a warm vibe where I’d go back.
Overall, stay in Kihei and drive to Lahaina to see it, not worth it. It’s only like 30 minutes away
