We had a great time staying here. The room had an excellent view of the water- it was so close to the ocean that we saw sea turtles! We enjoyed many a drink on the lanai. It is about a 5 to 10 min Drive to our favorite beaches which was nice. The beach chairs they provided came in handy. It is also a 5-10 min walk to the Maui Brewery and local coffee shop which we also enjoyed.
