We enjoyed our stay at El's.
The condo was charmingly renovated and decorated compared to other units in this complex we saw listed on Airbnb. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, the wifi was good, all the equipment you need for the beach is provided (2 chairs, umbrella with "digger", boogie boards, cooler, ice maker in the freezer), and the bed was comfortable. The central AC was decent, but could be better in the bedroom. At the time we booked, it was not clear in the photos that the bathroom is not really a separate room from the bedroom. You must pass through the former to get to the latter and as such you should be very comfortable with the person or people you're travelling with. This wasn't a big issue for us but some things are better left a mystery. The washer/dryer worked great to do some laundry in the middle of our trip. Laundry and dish detergent are provided.
The Sugar Beach resort complex is beautiful and meticulously maintained. From the stunning view from the lanai (btw, this just means balcony), we saw multiple workers each morning taking care of the grounds and the pool to make everything sparkle for guests. The resort is centrally located in Maui and very easy to get to. Parking was easy and free.
Check-in with the resort front desk and issuance of the parking pass were straightforward, but it is unclear how the guest information they collect is stored and safeguarded and would prefer that everything be handled through Airbnb without additional forms.
Although he was not on site, the host was extremely responsive and got us sorted out right away when there was an issue with the smart lock.
Overall, great stay, would stay again.
