Really nice and low key resort on the northern end (20 min beach walk) away from the main hustle of Whalers. Room had full kitchens and essential to cook meals like breakfast and light lunches, making it more affordable to enjoy pricer dinners. Bigger beach access and next door to a great luau. Would recommend over priced resorts around whalers.

Our room was absolutely perfect. We arrived around noon and it was already ready. Our room was next to the smaller pool and it was perfect at night it was a short walk to the hot tub. The walk to the beach is also a very short walk. The sand is nice and soft and well taken care of. The landscape is so beautiful walking around the property is a must. We definitely will stay here again when we return to Maui. Another bonus parking was free!😀

Property was well kept but our specific room was just quite out of date. We liked having a kitchen but all the knives were dangerously dull. The pools were both nice. I’d say a overall a good stay for the price but I may just spend a bit more next time for more amenities.

Overall it was good since we like the location. I booked for a two bed and we didn't get the exact room I booked, very misleading, we were told we have to request for the room we want with an extra FEE!!! Front desk lady told us there was no housekeeping, then found out 4 days later that they do housekeeping after 4 days or so since someone came to freshen up the room. She was sweet but they didn't tell us that that they at least change towels and we were wondering why they didn't after paying $300 a night. I forgot her name but she check us in on July 15th in the morning. Will come back again next time.
