If you are looking to stay in the Kihei area look no further than Anke’s place. We had ample room for our family of five and all the amenities needed. We used all the beds including the pullout sofa and everyone slept well. We used the provided beach chairs and towels daily. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were great. Loved having a Keurig coffee machine available with host-provided coffee. Two AC units keep the first floor bedroom and living area cool. The upstairs loft is also cool using the ceiling and room fans. We never felt hot or uncomfortable. The grounds and location are perfect - walk across the street to the beach or jump in the pool or relax in one of the two hot tubs. You are free to swim and make noise until the 10 pm when quiet time begins. We used the barbecues daily and there is plenty of outdoor areas to enjoy your meal at. Parking spot is right next to the elevator that leads to the unit. The elevator is also very fast and we were never waiting to use it. The balcony also provides a nice place to relax and listen to the birds. Grounds are also well kept with a great staff. This was our first trip to Maui and after visiting the different areas we would not hesitate to stay here again.
Since this review is to help future travelers here are a couple things we experienced but didn’t bother us.
1) We did pay a $70 resort fee upon checkin. After seeing how great the staff and grounds are we didn’t mind it.
2) We did find some tiny ants in the unit by the area that divides the kitchen and dining area. They weren’t in clusters but were scouting for food. We made sure not to leave any food or crumbs out, placed dry food in zip lock bags, and kept the sink clear of dirty dishes. By doing this we did not have any ant issues but did see a few searching for food every now and then.
