The lanai really makes this place special. We spent as much time as we could sitting on the lanai. Maui Farmer's market (store) is across the street with lots of goodies to eat. Maui Fish Market is across the street too with great food. Heather had a PackNPlay for our toddler. We didn't use the pool area. You are a 5 min drive to Kaanapali and 10 min drive to Lahaina. Parking was easy -- park by the dumpsters. Heather was communicative and she was understanding about a small schedule change to our stay. I would recommend this place to friends/family
