We had a terrific time staying at Maui Banyan. The owners attention to detail and upkeep is stellar. They are also great communicators. We had no problems with self check in. If you stay here they will provide you with a very detailed (and fun to read) handbook for guests with lots of information about the facility, things to do, activity and restaurant recommendations. Even though there isn't a beach view, the garden and mountain view off the lanai is soothing and QUIET. When we came back from beach visits we would head to one of the two pool areas and use the outdoor cot-water shower to rinse off the sand and ocean before returning to condo. The A/C kept us very comfortable. This unit is VERY close to parking and tennis courts. They thoughtfully provided various seasonings and a little olive oil which were great for the little bit of cooking that we did. As others have mentioned Kamiole beach is a 2-3 minute walk from the unit. Beautiful sunsets every evening. Be sure to visit the Cinnamon Roll place one block up Kihei road....highly recommend a mango scone too! We would not hesitate to book another stay with Mike, Caroline and Nico.
