This unit was everything that was advertised. We were visiting in late September-early October (lower season) and Sugar Beach seemed fairly quiet, at least relative to other places on the island, which were much busier and more congested. There is no shortage of nice dining and shopping options within a short drive, and Sugar Beach is a beautiful, walkable stretch of beach. It was also a good, central location to visit Lahaina, Wailea, the North Shore, the Ocean Vodka distillery, and more.
The unit itself is clean, well-equipped and a pleasure to spend time in. It is one of the few two-bedroom units in Sugar Beach Resort and my wife and I found it very spacious for the two of us. The kitchen is very well equipped with pots, pans, dishware, untensils, coffee maker, appliances, etc. which made it easy for us to make breakfast and many dinners at home. It was also nice to find the cupboards well stocked with a wide variety of spices, perhaps left by other visitors. There were six BBQs available for use down by the pool and although they were popular, we found one was always available for using (it was also a good place to meet other visitors). We enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon Happy Hour on the large lanai, with beautiful views of the beach and ocean. There was also lots of space to relax inside after dark, with smart TVs, and good WiFi internet speeds.
The on-site swimming pool was enjoyable. The water in the pool was quite warm. We never had problems getting lounge chairs, either on the pool deck or on the grass next to the beach. We didn't spend too much time on the beach - when the tide was high it was quite narrow.
The directions to Sugar Beach resort and the instructions for arrival and checking in were good, and clear. We didn't need any help with anything during our 7 days at PH35 but felt comfortable that we could have reached out if needed. We would not hesitate to come back to Sugar Beach and PH35.
