1. Communication with Christopher was seamless and almost instantaneous.
2. Check-in was simple and the staff in the front office very organized.
3. The building - a 4 star appointment. the building was well maintained albeit dated.
4. The interior - space has been updated with granite and stainless steel in the kitchen, full complement of kitchen utensils and TVs that actually work well.
There's quite a bit of room in this condominium. The ceiling is sloped and peaks at about 14 feet giving the room a spacious feeling.
6. The AC - zoned Mitsubishi's - VERY NICE!
Above and beyond - Christopher has provided a monitor with HDMI cable already in place, Both a standard (flat bottom filter) coffee maker AND a Keurieg.
If you love coffee - stay away from the Maui Coffee company coffee - buy the Kauai Coffee Company coffee - (blue bag with a hula dancer on it - Excellent!)
5. The deck and view - Nice garden view 2nd floor with trees surrounding and a view directly down and into the beautiful koy pond, with waterfall and fountain.
6. The Complex - Excellent. The courtyard was beautifully maintained, the Gas BBQ grills - ACTUALLY CLEAN (so I made sure and left them the way I found them). And lots of them, must be 8 or so around the complex that you can use. I BBQ'd several nights and all of the tools needed to BBQ , Christopher had supplied (except for a knife to fillet a fish).
7. RESTAURANTS: There are two restaurants on site - both Reasonably priced for Maui - The Gazebo - Open air pavilion overlooking the ocean WARNING - EXTREMELY popular. Opens at 7:30 AM. I arrived at 6:50AM and still it took until 8:15 before we were seated. Eat there once, just to say you had.
8. Laundry facilities - about 6 Washers and 10 dryers - They work well! One load - wash and dry - $4.50.
9. Rental Equipment - Boards, snorkel etc... right there on site -
5. Site Location - As long as you have a car, it's great. There's a small strip mall about 1/4 mile away, or else, about a 15 min drive to "downtown Lahaina".
If you are a golfer - there's both Kapalua and Ka' anapali very close by (maybe 5-10 minutes); Airport - about 51 minutes away. ALSO - these two places have shopping, dining (the Hula Restaurant was great), and excellent beaches.
6. WHILE NEAR THE AIRPORT - STOP AT COSTCO!!! It's a PITA to have to drive an hour back and believe me - Steaks, Macadamia nuts, milk, snacks etc... much less expensive at Costco.
7. A million other things I could say about my stay, but, For a nice family atmosphere and a safe, well maintained condo and complex - you can't beat staying at Napili Shores - Thank you Christopher.
