Right off we loved the location at the south end of Wailea. Made heading into Kihei town easy and returning with only 1/2 of one of Wailea's many hills between Kihei town and home. If you're more a South Shore Tiki Lounge person than a Tommy Bahama person, this is the great Wailea location.
Ekahi Village's chief feature, besides the ocean, is their very new and superbly appointed ocean-side pavilion. Plenty of tables and space for people. Gas AND charcoal grills, ice machines, refrigeration, and even a cooktop range and ovens all in the nicest open air, rain-protected, whale watch position A. Oh yeah and stellar wi-fi down there too. Taking business meetings back home with the water and palms in the background I looked like a "get rich in real estate" infomercial guy.
Finally but foremost, it's people who make the difference and the CB Island Vacations crew is fantastic. Quick to respond to issues in our unit (like when a ceiling fan was spinning precariously) and take care of housekeeping issues like receiving and delivering mail during our stay. No matter who we talked to at the CBIV office they jumped right up to help. I'd seek out their properties every time.
