This resort was amazing! Philip was able to accommodate our request on the same day, and we were so grateful! The condo is on the ground floor, just 100 steps from the beach! There is a seawall with soft grass where you can sunbathe above the ocean and watch the turtles in the surf! There is not much sand on the beach, mostly rocks, but all Maui beaches have public access so we were able to walk next door to a sandy beach! We were also walking distance to the Maui Fish Market which had great seafood tacos, and just a 5-minute walk to the ABC store! The resort fee of $17/day does add up, especially when we didn't use the amenities like the pool, putting green, etc, but it did cover parking and the awesome shuffle board! The Concierge there was awesome for setting up discounted activity packages and my husband was able to SCUBA dive for $20 cheaper than anything we could find online! The hotel employees are super nice and we even had a cat come by our patio every morning and hang out with us outside. The bed was comfy, A/C made a HUGE difference on those hot days, and we loved having the fridge and the Brita filter with ice to keep us cool! We loved our stay here and would definitely come again!
