Our experience with Mel was amazing. Thoughtful touches in this beautiful farm house. As reviewed, Mel is your personal concierge with detailed knowledge of the island and provider of gourmet breakfasts. Although Mel lives in connected house, it is separated so there is a feeling of privacy. If you are looking for a true Hawaiian experience then this is definitely it. The setting is spectacular: 180 degree ocean views with Maui visible on a clear day. It’s off the beaten path with an authentic feeling of a bit of the Old Hawaii. The nearest restaurants are locals only and far away from the resorts. So if this is the experience you are looking for, you won’t be disappointed.
