Love love love the condo and Lahaina ❤️! We spent a week on the island and enjoyed every moment, so sad to leave!
The Condo and Complex
The condo was perfect and clean. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we had everything we needed. The bed was huge and extremely comfy, the wardrobe was stocked with all the beach essentials we needed from chairs to a cooler, the shower was large and warm, the washing machine and dryer came in handy, the lounge was relaxing and 2 TVs for when we weren't out exploring was a bonus. The kitchen had every utensil required for cooking breakfast or dinner (more on that below) with a medium dishwasher and full fridge/freezer. The Aina Nalu complex itself was also peaceful with 2 lovely swimming pools and spa. The only downside was that we had to pay extra for parking and the car lot which offered a discount across the road was always full before 6pm.
Lahaina
So happy that we chose to stay in Lahaina upon a friends recommendation. It was just the kind of laid back location we love compared to the tourist trap of Waikiki for example. Even though our condo was well equipped for dinner prep we decided to eat out every night as the choice of restaurants was so good and reasonably priced. From burger joints to grills, pasta to pizza, fish to mexican everything was here and we tried it! Our personal favourites included Cheeseburger in Paradise, Kimos, Lahaina Pizza Co and the Lahaina Fish Co. All with great views of the sunset! There were a couple of more up market restaurants too such as the Lahaina Grill which looked great but will save that for next time!
The Island
We have now been to 3 Hawaiian islands and I ❤️ the beauty and activities on offer in Maui but depends what you are in to. We certainly had a action packed (early start) week including the downhill sunrise bike tour on Haleakala, snorkelling in the Molokini Crater, hiking the Waihee Ridge, road to Hana, more snorkelling and more snorkelling, lots of banana bread and food trucks! The weather was a little up and down so we didn't get to star gaze on Haleakala but will keep that for next time!
Thanks Coconut Condos for a great stay! Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
