This is a gem of a place in North Kihei. You can watch the sunset right from the lanai. It's a quick drive to everything. I even drove twice to Wailuku (20mins) for the best malasadas on the island (Home Maid Bakery). Some reviewers complained about the noise on S Kihei Rd; we did not think it was an issue, there was the occasional car but generally the place was quiet. There is a closed off part of the ocean right by the hotel where the water is only waist-deep, kids can play free and turtles swim. We (family of four) had a great time and would come back in a heartbeat.
