Having a full kitchen and being able to cook for ourselves helped save on cost. There's a grocery store across the street that has a very good selection of items. There's no beach right out front but there are beaches a short walk away. This area is a bit far from some of the attractions so you'll need to rent a car but overall, it was a great value.

I stayed here for almost 2 weeks recently and it was fantastic! We had a room with a kitchen and it was well worth the extra cost. There is a strip mall across the street with a supermarket so you can get bread, milk, juices etc and take them all back to the room and store them in the kitchen. This made handling breakfast each morning a breeze as we could make breakfast at our leisure in our pajamas and not have to rush out to buy breakfast somewhere. It was so nice to sit on the lanai and sip our coffee whilst wondering which pool or beach we are going to swim at that day. The room was spacious and clean. Yeah it is a little dated but who cares! - the fridge, stove, dishwasher, etc all worked fine. The bathroom and sink area were clean and stocked with Hawaiian Tropic products. The room was totally fine. The resort grounds were stunning. Perfectly manicured gardens, 2 beautiful pools, tennis courts, gorgeous ocean views - what more do you want? The lagoon pool is amazing! The pool closest to the ocean also has a Beach Club attached to it for your drinking and dining needs. Mark, the bartender is so cool. He makes a mean Lava Flow! Self parking for $9 a night is unbeatable. You need a car on Maui and this is one of the best parking rates going at a resort. The guys working the parking gate booth are so friendly. After a few days we were chatting and joking each time I drove in and out. There are also guest bbqs so you can go to the supermarket across the road and buy some meat and cook your own dinner. We did this several times when we didn't want to tackle the crowds in Lahaina. If I was able to change one thing though, I would move the bbqs over to the other side of the resort near the pools so you could see or hear the ocean and weren't tucked away between the tennis courts and parking lot. Don't get me wrong though - the bbqs were new and clean and the eating area was nice - it just would've been nicer to have been over at the main area. The staff were all wonderful. This is definitely the place to stay on Maui. I highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again.

We stayed for a getaway weekend, and boy do I regret choosing this hotel. First off, nothing has been updated here in 20 years. Rooms and hallways are musty, noisy, with cracked paint, doors that can’t shut, elevators out of service etc. Location isn’t ideal either, given beach is far, and not close to nicer restaurants in Lahaina or in Napili. Nothing good within walking distance. If you want to grill it’s basically just under the parking lot. The fact that they’re completely disorganized around the rooms that are managed by OTHER companies isn’t helpful either, just overall an unpleasant and outdated experience that isn’t helped by grouchy staff. We visited friends staying at other hotels that were significantly nicer for same price / better location. Look elsewhere!

I would not recommend this place. It is very overpriced and below par. Certainly not a place where I'd like to spend my vacation. Our room was not ready for check in despite the time - 6 pm. The room smelled musty and looked dirty; it felt like a cheap rental. I was so disgusted. The amenities and conditions of the hotel were poor.Our bed squeaked. The pillows were lumpy. The carpeting was stained. The sheets had holes. The hallways looked like they belonged out of the 70's. The room we were given had a patio door that didn't fully close. The dishwasher was broken, the ceiling in the bathroom was falling apart. The DVD player wouldn't work. The concierge did not want to provide recommendations unless we purchased trips and excursions with them. You had to get towels at one location between certain times and the front desk at other times and they were very far apart. So, if you went to the wrong place, you had to walk back to the other. The furnishings were old and outdated. It didn't feel clean. While the space was large enough and the kitchen a decent size, there were so few things to work with. It was very disappointing that all these issues for a place where we spent many thousands of dollars. Almost everything was extra. The hotel charged $30 per day for parking and resort fees on top of what we already paid through Costco travel. Save your money and stay somewhere else!

Price and location is what drew me to this resort. We stayed over spring break in room 515, rented via VRBO. This was a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, full kitchen, living room, lanai, partial ocean view, along with a full view of the main pool. After taxes and fees we paid about $500/night, one of the cheapest condo's I've seen for this size and location. The room was clean and had enough supplies to get us started as well as a box of chocolates. Beds were very comfortable and there was always a breeze during the day. The staff seemed friendly, as do most all Hawaiians. The resort itself was small, in comparison to others around. But, our family saw this as a perk. The main pool was big enough, and it took us less time to walk to our car or across the street to the strip mall for breakfast, groceries, coffee, boogie board and snorkel rental. The pools/resort was clean and tidy. Landscape was nice and green. We had fun catching lizards during the day and frogs at night. The pool was open to 11:00 pm but it was quiet time after 9:00. It was fun swimming/hot tubbing at night with the pool all lit up. There were usually people at the pool by 8:00 am. The resort is about 15 minutes north of downtown Lahaina and 10 minutes south of Kapalua. This proved to be the perfect location for convenient access to shopping, excellent beaches, excursions, and restaurants. I would definitely stay at this resort again, especially room 515. Well kept, friendly staff, comfortable, convenient and small enough that you didn't feel like you were lost every time you walked out of your front door. I've read reviews about the beach being washed away. This didn't bother me since we were either at the pool or at another beach for boogie boarding, body surfing, or snorkeling. The sunsets were still spectacular.
