We had never been to Maui, so knowing where to stay, what to expect, was a bit of a shot in the dark. Obviously where you "should" stay depends on what you want to do, type of things you like, etc. Long intro to say we absolutely loved this location and experience. Our balcony had a picture perfect view of Molokai, we saw TONS (and I literally mean tons because those dudes are huge) of sea turtles just like Noelani described, and we were a 30 second walk from a pretty low-key, beautiful beach that felt like our own. The actual place was very clean, the front office was friendly and easy to communicate with, and the two pools and hot tub were a well kept option we took advantage of at night. I'll say that if you want to go to Makena Beach or Road to Hana, plan on driving an hour to get to those spots, but with the top off our Jeep and the ocean views, blasting some tunes as you soak in the views while driving isn't a bad way to spend an hour. I could go on, but if you you want to pretend and feel like you live in Maui for a bit, this is the way to go. Also Bad Ass coffee is right down the road and we went every morning and I bought a cool hat.
