This was the perfect place to spend our first vacation to Maui and we, without a doubt, intend to come back here. To start with the room, it was a very clean, cozy, comfortable room with a private lanai looking out to the gorgeous Maui mountains - great for waking up early, seeing the sunrise, and enjoying the mountains. The full kitchen is super useful for budget cooking. The shower and bathroom is really spacy. But, the room isn’t even the best part of this place; it’s in a little beach resort at the perfect spot in Lahaina. Lahaina has a huge resort space (the luxury hotels and shopping), which is fine for families that want it easy, but not ideal for a quiet or romantic getaway. This place is at the total opposite end of Lahaina, and it’s the only resort/hotel in the area, but it’s closer (as in, 5 minute walking distance) than all other resorts to the historic Lahaina with tons of delicious local eats, local shops, some fun touristy offerings, and just all-around better feeling that the bloated resort space. No crazy amenities, but they aren’t needed - you get a nice, private pool area with a beautiful lawn for laying out, and a gate to a small, relaxing beach. Both the resort and the beach are tucked away and never crowded. It comes with a concierge in the lobby that helps you book events all around the island and they are super friendly. the hotel is right next door to a little shooping food area with a small convenience store, art galleries, a fancier lunch/dinner spot Pacific’o (you get a lunch coupon for staying at the resort), Surfside Woodfire Pizza (the most amazing sandwiches for lunch and breakfast - I ate there most days), Feast at LeLe, which is a lo-key luau with private-party seating on the beach with a 5 course meal, and paddle board/surf rental and lesson shops (with reefs right around the area with up-close and personal turtles). And to top it off, the beach is amazing for watching the sunset. Other notable things are cheap parking, it’s not far to drive to other popular beaches/snorkel trips/towns nearby. Lastly, this part of Lahaina seems to sit in this little weather pocket where even the huge resort portion of Lahaina was getting rain dumped on it and our little spot had a wall of clouds surrounding it but with clear blue skies above. We were there during the tropical storm Olivia and barely saw rain; we were the last area the clouds converged onto, and it cleared out quickly. I could go on forever about how ideal this place is, and the prices are amazing compared to the normal hotel rates we loved it so much, we re-booked directly through the hotel and stayed an extra 3 days there. So bottom line, take this place if you are traveling lone or with a friend/partner and want a super relaxing, perfectly located place to...
