This is centrally located between the north & south areas of west Maui. It was beautiful, quiet & convenient to everything that we wanted to do. Lahaina is about a 40 minute drive, but driving in Maui is our jam as there are so many beautiful sights too on see. We were also close to grocery stores, etc. There are definitely more high end resort type areas to stay in, but if you are looking for a great place at a reasonable rate, I definitely recommend this!
