The Aloha Aku suites were a nice place to stay if your in Maui. The most important thing...the beach is very nice. Its situated along a very long stretch of sand that is wonderful to walk on. We were there in the beginning of May, and almost had the beach to ourselves. It was a bit windy while we were there, and that limited our beach time. They have kayaks and paddle boards for the guests to use that were in good shape. We stayed in the Ohana suite, the 2 bedroom accommodations on the property. It is the only room that doesn't have a direct view of the beach, but the yard with the palm trees and flowers is nice. Its a pretty quiet place that is centrally located along the coast road in Kihei, and has easy access to anywhere on the island. Gary was very helpful in advising us about an excursion that we were driving to and it went very well because he gave us a heads up. It is situated close to LOTS of restaurants and shopping, if that is what you do in your off beach time. The Kihei Cafe and Coconuts are recommended while your there. The communication was excellent from reservations to check-in. The email directions were very helpful and easy to follow and we had no trouble checking in at all. We also used Tom's Barefoot tours to book our Luau and snorkeling trip, which had a link in the emails from Gary and they gave us a bit of a discount because we used them. I will admit that the condo was a bit more plain than I was expecting. It was our first time on the island, so we have nothing to compare to, and maybe we set our expectations a bit high. Granted, we didn't spend much time in the condo, and these things didn't bother us at all. It worked out fine, and everything was just as represented in the pictures. We had some meals on the patio, which was very nice. It was a very restful and fun stay.
