We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our vacation to Maui! The room itself was very clean and modern. The check-in process was a breeze and the front desk staff was friendly. We arrived after dark on the first day, so it wasn't until the next morning that we realized how amazing the view really was. The resort grounds are immaculate and every morning they set out lawn chairs so that you can relax off of the sand or go for a swim in the pool. Though most all of the beaches on Maui are public, the area in front of the resort doesn't get a lot of foot traffic so it still feels very private. The kitchenette was perfect for making breakfast and lunch so that we could splurge on dinner. We were very happy with the location because we were able to walk to almost anything. You are 10-15 minutes from pretty much everything Front Street has to offer including some of the top restaurants in Maui like Paia Fishmarket. Not having to worry about finding parking or deciding who's going to drive makes vacation that much less stressful. It was also nice being away from "resort central" in Kaanapali. The one thing to note is if you go to bed very early and are sensitive to noise, the Feast of Lele is located right next door so you can hear some of the music from the performance but we actually really enjoyed the sound and thought it added to the ambience. oh, and one more thing, the water pressure in the shower was outstanding! When you return home you will likely find yourself underwhelmed by your own shower head...I guess it's just one more reason to return to Maui.
