We had stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Kaanapali Beach for 5 days before we moved to Lisa and Michael's place at Wailea. The Hyatt pool was ridiculously crowded, and there was very little shade available - I was so pleased to have the patio at the condo, and the pavilion at the main pool. We just loved the quiet nature of the place - the landscaping is gorgeous and well-tended, beach access is easy, the condo is very comfortable (given the choice, I'd prefer regular-height tables and chairs in the dining area and patio, but that's getting really picky!) The bed in the master is very comfortable and even the sofabed is more comfortable than most. Lisa and Michael very nicely make a lot of things available in the condo that you'd otherwise have to purchase - salt and pepper, napkins, laundry detergent, even some Keurig pods, and more. The main pool is small (compared to a resort-type pool) but lovely and the kids playing in the pool didn't seem to mind that it wasn't "glitzy". I loved the shade. We met some very nice people. Easy access to the beach - we walked toward Kihei, and in the other direction, to the Fairmont and to the Shops at Wailea. It was just very very relaxing, so relaxing that we were happy to have the chance to "eat in" (barbecued steaks). The on-island representative, Christy, is very responsible and responsive (via text or phone).
