The studio is in Haiku, which a beautiful lush and tropical area. The studio meet all our needs. There's only one bedroom fan and no air conditioning. This wasn't really a problem for us but the studio does tend to get pretty hot. The drive to get to West Maui can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. However, Haiku is along the Road to Hana and makes the drive much less intimidating.
