We stayed in Appartment 217 for 14 days and loved every minute of it.
First of all, the communication was so easy. Questions, before booking the place, before we arrive and douring our stay - all fast and with satifying answers :)
( I am mentioning this, because some one could answer fast - but say - "Sorry, I don´t know / sorry, we don´t have this / sorry, but I won´t be arround to help you). For example, I only found 2 sets of towles -but we were 3 people. When I wrote to Melody - she answerd back within minutes, letting me know where to find them in the flat (and if there would be non, she would organize for me). Or when I let her know during our stay, that the toaster wasn´t "popping", we had a replacment 30 min later. 10 Stars for this service.
Check in was really easy, check out aswell.
We had free wifi in our flat (belcony,living room and bedroom)
Towles and Beachtowles were fluffy and clean - actually everything was really clean. We watched the cleaners getting the next door flat ready (while we were relaxing at the pool, we could see them working) and I was amazed, how thourough they were. Washing the windows, the fan, behind the curtain, underneath the bed (we did not watcher this, but we noticed under our bed, when I dropped something, that there are no dust clowds)
What did we love most about our stay in 217?
The amanzing sun set from our belcony. The view itself. The wild life birds visiting us, to pick up our bred crums, which fell of our plate. The natrual, small beach right at our door step. The pool with its fresh - but not cold and not to much chlorine water. The kitchen area and well equiped cuttery. The bedroom, great bed and quiet.
The easy parking, right infront of the house.
We stayed 2 weeks in April, and even though the whale season just ended a week after our arrivel, we could watch humpback whales breach and splash from our belcony every day., till we had to fly back home. Twice they came so close to the shore, we could of easy snorkled to them ( a bit far out, but possible). If you come in January or February - it must be crazy watching them, because there are hundreds and hundreds in that area.
We saw turtles every day in the shore and once even on the beach, taking a nap.
There are so many close by hiking spots within 10-20 min drive only....no need to go on long day tours to Hana ;-)
Went whale watching with a boat 2x and also did some diving. Bird watching aswell. Great place for all of that.
We are vegan, and we found a few nice places within minutes of drive - with good food and delicous desserts ( Java Jazz Bar - great music and tasty food and / aa Roots - all vegan cafe with fresh bowls and amazing cakes). We did not try the food trucks near by. Only 2 had a vegan dish, and the queue/wait till we would of got our food was 30-45 minutes. A dish would of been 15 dollars and up - so you can sit comftable in a restaurant near by for the same price.
We loved it through and through, and we would defnetly come here again, if we should visit Maui (from Germany) again.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday :-)
