Great place to stay, especially for exploring Kihei! Walkable to the beach, lots of restaurants and food trucks, including the most luxe food truck experience ever - Kitoko Maui. Try it! A nice little view of the ocean from the balcony was better than expected.
Kihei is also a great central location to get to the rest of the island. Only challenge was finding parking when we arrived back late in the evening. The parking lot gets very full, so a little walk was sometimes necessary, but always worked out OK.
