Our stay here was incredible! The views made every morning magical with the linai, the dining room, and just hanging out in the living room. The kitchen was stocked well to make a few meals, we just needed the ingredients. My kiddo was also excited about night swims at the complex pool. You are also in walking distance to the mall, resort restaurants, and the beach. We appreciated that we were in driving distance to day trips around the island. It was perfect for our family of 4 that included teens!
Recommendations:
- book beach side meals before sunset to make sure you get to see the sun go down, or to take a walk at the beach while the sun is going down!
- KAPA was great for that, but try to get a table by the pool
- Day trip: Road to Hana was fun, but beware that there are not many places to park so we ended up missing out on a few things like Twin Falls. Garden of Eden was pricy but had beautiful view of waterfalls. This is the only place we were bitten by mosquitoes!
- Lahaina at the West was a great place to shop, walk around, and get that “Hawaiian” feel
- A great place for souvenirs was The Plantation for food gifts. Don’t buy your pineapple there though-it’s double the price then at regular stores
- Longs is also a great place for cheaper souvenirs and they had sales on all the chocolates!
- bring the house beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels wherever you go! You never know what beach you’ll end up at!
The downstairs master bedroom had a funky smell, but this place was such a great stay! We truly recommend it!
