"Yes! This hotel fully met my needs after a very long, tediuous flight from South Dakota. Just used it to adjust to a different time zone and get some rest. This Hotel met all my criteria and I would recommend it after a long day of traveling from the Mainland to Hawaii."

"rooms and pools were excellent"

"Room was very clean. Shared spaces were well kept. A little loud after quiet hours but who isn’t? "

"Room was newly renovated and so pretty! The staff were amazing and the property itself was so nice. Would definitely stay again. "

"Great location - central to Maui attractions, in a relaxed, leisure-oriented district, walkable to dining, shopping, and recreational options. Comfortable and refined without being isolated and ostentatious. Facilities were clean with up-to-date amenities and style; well staffed (friendly). We appreciated thoughtful perks such as free laundry machines (albeit with somewhat confusing controls), water bottle filling stations (and nice reusable water bottles to use with them), microwave ovens, tote bags, all the towels you would need, beach chairs ($), and cruiser bikes. We enjoyed the well-maintained pools and nightly live music. Good vibe all around with couples, families, etc. (seems this is where many flight crews also stay). Room had plenty of power outlets, but oddly no USB sockets (perhaps this avoids obsolescence). Having room key cards as bracelets was brilliant. Wish they had coffee (besides the in-room makers) available throughout the day; had to walk to a nearby ABC convenience store once the on-premises cafe closed after lunch hours. Speaking of which, the Kīhei Caffe was great for breakfast/lunch - very nice setting for these meals with good food and service. This was our first visit to Maui. We’re really glad that we chose to stay in Kīhei, and at resort in particular."

"Fantastic experience all around."
