Buona scelta per MAUI
Pros:

Struttura carina con la spiaggia di fronte, camera grande e carina.

Cons:

Piscina un po’ sporca. Non ha la pulizia giornaliera della stanza, che in una zona di mare sarebbe necessaria almeno per togliere la sabbia.

A hidden gem by the beach in North Kīhei
Pros:

This was a terrific and unusual find for Kihei. I felt like a bit of a sleuth to have successfully found it, and it was a great combination of price and value. For starters, even when I checked in it almost midnight, I worried that a tiny place may not be ready for it but the evening staff was great.

I ended up reserving the penthouse, mainly because the pictures made it look great, and it wasn't even all that much more expensive than a regular room. Bottom line? I didn't get my money's worth, because I didn't have the time. I definitely made it a point to simply walk across the street to the beach, which was a fantastic hidden gem of its own, with

But I would love to come back and make better use of the kitchen, dining, and living areas. My bedroom was at a loft area that was immaculately remodeled, as was its bathroom. In fact, next time I have the chance to stay here, I may try to talk friends into booking some of the other rooms, and then we could have a great dinner together on our own private patio. Great place!hardly anyone there, but a fantastic view and great vibe. Lucky me!

Pictures on the website must be 20 years old, we were very disappointed in the resort, see above
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Bathroom had black mold, there were exposed electrical wires in the kitchen. Rain flooded under door seal, Floor in the kitchen and bathroom was filthy. We had talked to the Manager on duty about a refund of the 2nd night stay. Due to health issues, I can't be around black mold, the manager on duty indicated he would follow up. After 3 messages to the property with no response, this is juat another example of significant problems with the resort.

Everyone - if you are traveling to Maui, do not waste your time with this property

Pros:

Nice location 👌

Cons:

So, the room had an open ceiling facing the sky, which resulted in the light waking us up really early. Also, the bathroom was smelling piss. Overall, I would not suggest it.

Won't stay there again.
Pros:

Refrigerator in the room.

Cons:

The upstairs people got home after 12:30 pm and were up at 5:30 am. Extremely noisy. Sounded like maintenance was in there doing work but the front said that was not the case. Very "bare bones" junior suite. There was one desk chair and one other uncomfortable chair in the room. Bed was very soft which I realize a lot of people like but we do not. TV and the remote was not user friendly and we finally gave up on watching anything. The good part is that we were there for only one night since we needed to be closer to the airport for our last night.

Friendly, clean, and the beach is across the street ;)
Pros:

We were warmly welcomed by the staff, and even though it was a short stay, we were able to ask anything we wanted. The room had everything we needed. It was also super clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is directly opposite a beach. So every morning we treated ourselves to coffee right there, and you can borrow chairs, parasols, and beach towels. In addition, the office area at the back serves delicious Kona filter coffee with macadamia flavor. Very attentive staff, all in all very nice. We can recommend it.

All you need to have a good Maui experience
Pros:

We got in pretty late after a long flight. The night attendant Tevita gave us a good aloha and made us feel at home right away. Our room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to have a good first night and first Maui experience. 10/10 would recommend!
