Our room was large and clean with space to spread out our luggage without being in the way. The bathroom had a little closet feature to hang wet clothes and store toiletries. We got upgraded to an ocean view room, so we could hear the waves although there was a hedge in the way so we couldn’t see the ocean from our bed, but that’s not an issue. There was a bus stop within walking distance and we were able to store our luggage on check-in day when we arrived earlier than check-in time. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. We’d stay here again!

Nice room, smallish like most rooms on Maui. Cute outdoor seating area with lots of plants and trees for shade. The downside is parking, very narrow and hard to turn around. Thankfully we had a smaller car and could manage.

The staff was so nice, friendly, and helpful during our stay. We had one of the upgraded rooms, and it was super cute! It was also really convenient being able to rent beach towels, chairs, and other beach items right at the hotel. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

Staff was very friendly and responsive. The hot tub was not operational for the 2 nights we were there - it was hot but the jets did not work. We asked about it at the front desk but they don't seem to have been able to fix it.

This was a pleasant, quiet stay. It didn’t have the amenities of a larger resort (no on-site dining/bar, smaller but very kind staff, limited parking). So, it’s more geared towards lower key travelers. The staff was very kind and the location was great.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The nicest thing I can say is that it was clean. Half of the soap and lotion dispensers didn’t work, the kitchen was not well stocked with dishes, pot pans, and didn’t even have salt and pepper. No ice cube trays in the freezer. The worst part was the people in the room above me were stomping around like they weren’t on a second floor to the point that it woke me up out of sleep. I had to complain twice, but it’s still continued. I felt like those people’s comfort was more important than mine.

I recently stayed at this property during my vacation and had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. One of the highlights of my stay was the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail that made the experience enjoyable. The amenities were as advertised, and everything contributed to a relaxing and memorable vacation. You will definitely need transportation, few miles away are great foods,and a market area. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would gladly return in the future.

When I stayed in the penthouse, this felt like a great secret find, and I mainly wish I had made more use of the kitchen and living space. I will have to come back, and wil have my friends stay in the other rooms so we can enjoy the site more fully! Great staff too, even when I was having a late-night arrival. I'm at least glad I walked across the street to the nice beach multiple times.
