My husband and I spend a great week with this spot as our home base while exploring Maui. We loved being away from the big tourist crowds and had the opportunity to explore some quieter beaches in nearby Kihei, which was great. The lanai was AMAZING - literally could spend 10 minutes out there and spot 4-5 humpback whales including breaches/tail slaps. The binoculars were a great touch. We hope to be back someday soon!
