First, this place is exactly as advertised including the cover picture of the ocean view. Check-in/out is easy, since it's with the front desk. We arrived a few hours early and were able to leave our bags behind the front desk and our rental car in the parking garage. We love the location! The resort is relatively small so there's not a lot of guests like the big resorts north of town. It was easy to find some private space at the pool and beach. We felt like we had our own little slice of paradise. But, all we had to do is walk 30 seconds and we were on Front Street in Lahaina with all the restaurants, stores, vendors, bars, entertainment, and people. We would definitely stay here again.
