We were very happy staying in this beautiful spot. The view from the lanai could not have been more expansive and peaceful. We were thrilled to see many, many whales as we sat there enjoying the view, and it was great to have the binoculars that were provided to get a closer look. It was also very private on that deck, which is unique, as even many of the fancy hotels don't have that luxury.

We found the location to be very convenient, minutes by car to white sand snorkeling beaches and a great jumping off point for other trips. We liked Dollie's Pub and Miso Phat sushi, both just across the street, as well as the Whalers General Store, which had all the basics we needed. We brought food and drinks back to our Lanai most nights because we sincerely could not find a better view of the sunset anywhere. We did go to Duke's Beach House for happy hour, recommended by Abe, and really enjoyed that place, and happened to see whales there too! (Humpback whales mating season = perfect time to visit Maui. Peak is Jan to March)

The interior of the place was perfect as well, it was bright, open, very clean, we had all we needed in the kitchen, and the bed was VERY comfortable. We kept the sliding door to the lanai open (screen door closed) the entire time, and it really felt like we could be outside while inside. The sound of the waves lulled us to sleep, and the moon shone over the water and glowed in on us at night.

Wonderful place, unforgettable experience.
