This condo is way nicer than the impression from the photos and the beach/private grass area is wonderful. The resort appears to be a significant way thru an upscale renovation so please disregard a lot of the negative reviews of Mana Kai condos that you'll find on trip advisor etc - you'll have a great experience in this condo which is in great shape. The beach is really close down a few flights of stairs (the elevator is a longer walk) and the parking very close also. Excellent snorkelling right out of the door, and while we were there a turtle hung out every day for at least 30 minutes on a rock 15 ft from the beach. The Lanai is in a superb position to watch over the beach with shade, although it's orientation means you can't watch the sunset. Problem solved - watch from the beach or lawn! Lots of restaurants including Paia Fish Market a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk north. Foodland also - just like safeway. Highly recommended.
