Maelita's place could not have been lovlier. It was absolutely immaculate. It was a bit rainy during our stay so we spent more time at the house and it was nice to be able to spread out. We went to the beach several times and it was charming. We loved being so near the Polynesian Cultural Center as we went there three separate days. So glad we did the suggested Hau'la loop trail. It was magical and can be done in an hour. We also walked out to the end of Lai'e point -- the surf is huge in the winter, hard to imagine people jumping off! Groceries are really expensive, but we bought a little for lunches and breakfasts. We ate at Pounders at the PCC twice ordered the fish tacos with mango salsa both times -- soo good. Enjoy your stay -- you will not be disappointed!
