I do not want to write this to complain nor unnecessarily hype up this location because the trip to Maui was fantastic overall. I want only to inform on the reality to help someone else make the best decision possible for themselves!
Let me start with the pros of this location:
First off, you are in Maui! Congrats and enjoy! Better yet, you're doing Maui on a budget if you are looking at this location and that should earn you a pat on the back. This location is walking distance to the beach. The water pressure and temperature of water in the shower is really good, so you'll be able to get all the sand and salt water off easily. You're also right next to the sister resort where you can use the swimming pool and grab a beach towel. Each day, you'll come back from whatever activities you choose to fresh sheets and bath towels which is a plus in an Airbnb. Don't forget to check out Castaway Cafe next door and visit with Roger there (oh boy, he's got some stories).
Now let me be clear on some realities/cons of this spot:
First thing that wasn't great to find out was parking is $30/day despite being told on here that it was $15/day. Additionally, there was a small price increase for the stay upon checkin due to "tax changes". Something to consider that didn't impact our stay but should be called out is the resort required proof of vaccination at checkin. Transitioning to the room itself, we found a few unsatisfactory things. The deadbolt on the door was totally broken off. The wifi was really really poor and kept disconnecting (hope you have good cell service). Be prepared to hear everything going on around you through the very thin walls. Each day, there were ants in the sink. The safe in the closet was inoperable as it was already locked upon arrival. We could not find a washer/dryer as advertised, but maybe we could use the facility over at the sister resort? Two other things that we noticed but didn't really feel an impact from included the sister resort hot tub not being open and no hangers available in the closet as advertised.
Overall, the trip was unbelievable and we wouldn't have stayed here had the room accommodations been the top priority to us while in Maui (but they weren't). This spot got the job done! Just recommending a few description changes to this posting for informing future bookings. Mahalo!
