One of the main reasons why we revisit Maui is to have the pleasure of staying at this resort. Whilst it’s old, it’s well maintained and offers convenience, beauty and is right on the beach. If one is not into big chain hotels, they would truly enjoy their stay at this location

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.

This place is perfectly located in the Ka’anapali area with a pool and easy access to the beach. This is a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach! We really enjoyed our stay as we had all the amenities without the crowds of the bigger resorts. The unit we stayed in was very clean and recently redone. It was nice to have a fully equipped kitchen, a nice balcony large enough for dining and lounging and AC to cool down a bit at night. The staff was very helpful. I would recommend this place to both couples and families.

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!😀
