You won’t find a better place for sunrise and sunset. It’s situated perfectly for Haleakala and the town of paia and it’s beaches. It isn’t very well stocked with simple things like salt and coffee so definitely head to the grocery store before you come for essentials, even after a long flight like we did. If you take that one step, you’ll be happy with your choice to stay here. It’s surprising cool as it sits higher up in altitude compared to the rest of Maui but they don’t call it “Upcountry” for no reason. A great little escape from the crowded lowlands and resorts.
