I really enjoyed my stay in suite 112.
I want to start by addressing “issues” that others seemed to have had:
- AC: As specified in the listing there is no AC but SEVERAL fans available. For me it wasn’t a problem at all because I live in AZ and the temperatures in Maui were perfect for me. But in case you need to make it cooler, keeping door and windows open does work as others said.
- Location: Even though it says Lahaina, please make sure you are aware that this is in fact further north. (Look carefully at the map)
Still a great location (perfect to go to Napili Beach (7min), Nakalele blowhole, Olivine Pools, etc) but not in the middle of Lahaina Town.
Hana is exactly on the opposite side of the island. But it’s still very doable from here (3 hours to go there without counting all the stops you’ll make, and 3.5h to come back if you actually go past Hana and take the off roads).
As far as groceries I would suggest Safeway, just 8min away and probably the cheapest option around here.
On your way to South Maui don’t miss Leoda’s Pies!
- I think it’s also important to specify the sand beach in the pictures is no longer there. Neighbors said it’s been gone for 2 years or so. But you are still facing the ocean (right in front of your room) and you can walk down on the rocks and still see the sea turtles! I’ve even seen people snorkeling here if you don’t mind going in via rocks.
The closest beach is just a 10min walk away. But I would suggest instead Napili Beach (for families) and Black Rock Beach for snorkeling and lots of action (including people jumping off the rock).
- The walls are in fact thin and you can hear everything happening upstairs. It wasn’t a problem for me cause I was never home. Hopefully that would be the case for you too (there is so much to do in Maui)
Pros:
- The place comes with several things that can be very useful like beach chairs, umbrella, and I even found a sunscreen.
- The sunset on the ocean and directly in front of your room is definitely amazing.
- If you want to meet new people this is definitely the place to go to. At sunset (but also earlier) several guests and locals meet at the pool and the BBQ area. Everyone is really friendly and loves to share tips on the best things to see and do around here.
- The shower is amazing!! Very spacious and relaxing!
- You can find a copy of ‘Maui Revealed’ (old edition) which is literally the best guide ever made for Hawaii!
- MyPerfectStay is available and good at their communication if you have any issues or need to ask questions.
Last tip: bring your own towel for the beach!
