This is the ideal spot if you want to soak up "turtle life". It's just a short walk on a path that leads you to see...guaranteed!!!...the turtles coming on and off shore to rest. I've never been to a place that has so many RAINBOWS!!! There is also snorkeling close by...not great coral but some pretty fish. We really enjoyed the entertainment sitting on our patio just watching the hydrofoil surfers. We weren't great fans of the Hawaiian food, kind of bland, but the condo has ample cooking supplies and grills...there is always the food trucks with great food not far from the condo located on the beach. The condo itself is dated but we didn't come to Hawaii to stay indoors, the scenery is so worth exploring. BTW...we did the road to Hana...Long drive, windy, kiss your ass curves, but hey, you can catch some beautiful scenery. A must see is "Jaws" beach watching the surfers which is not far from Noelani. The condo is a great location to do just about anything you wish to do in Maui and not feel like you're in a tourist trap. I hope you enjoy your stay there as much as we did!!!
