Fantastic condo and great location! My husband and I decided to book a last minute trip to Maui (about 4 weeks before departure). Typically we try to book through Costco's travel packages, but they were sold out of our usual favorite hotel the Hyatt in Kaanapali. This option was more cost effective than trying to get a hotel room for $800+ a night. We were a little nervous about an Airbnb but we ended up feeling very happy with our choice. The check in was easy and the condo was very clean and comfortable. Some slight wear and tear that you'd expect from a rental but overall very nice. The kitchen had everything that we needed (we like to make many of our own meals and then splurge on a few fancy dining experiences). The bed was very comfortable. Air conditioner worked great! The patio is large and the view to the mountains is beautiful (saw many rainbows!). The resort itself was fantastic. The pools area was way better than expected (multiple pools, a slide, kids splash pad area, few waterfalls). They also had a "quiet" pool, which was essentially an adult pool -- which was big perk in our book. Access to the towel kiosk was included and we could take/return towels as we pleased. The market downstairs was convenient for a few items we forgot at home. The snorkeling out in front of the hotel was great as well. Lots of coral and a variety of fish. Saw turtles, sea urchins and starfish. The beach is clean and spacious. There is a grocery store within a very short walking distance as well as other eateries and coffee places. Duke's food was good. We ordered lunches To Go and just walked a few steps from the pool to pick it up but they also had Duke's servers walking around the pool area to take orders. There is also a very nice boardwalk in front of the hotel that brings you past the area resorts all the way down to the Sheraton/Black Rock.
This is our new favorite spot and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
