“Hidden Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

This place is a great place to stay if you don't want to drive around Lahaina. It's location is perfect, just 2 streets off Front Street and the Banyan Tree with the grocery store just a 3min walk. The units are a comfortable and spacious - a basic condo, with a full kitchen, laundry, living, bar, sleeping areas. The main pool is the best place to relax, next to no one uses it and it's very quiet. Parking is not free, you can park on the street, but beware - local theft is abundant. last time we came, we actually took the local bus here from the airport - less than $10 for 2. If youneed to rent a car for an excursion, plenty of rent-a-car places close. The full kitchen can save you some serious money. Eateries are abundant around here, not cheap but reasonable.

Room Tip: One that overlooks the pool. Most look over a parking lot. If you don't mind it, get a cheap roo...

“Great location and value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

After staying lots of times at the big resorts in Kaanapali, we decided to give this condo-type property a try instead. We were very pleased. The 2 bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well enough equipped for "vacation" cooking (quick and easy!), and the living-room area was sufficient for the four of us to kick back and relax. The big pool is perfect for a cooling swim at the end of the day, and not too busy during the times we used it. They could use a couple more barbecue areas - we had to wait for these on two occasions - but overall it was a very pleasant experience. We'll be back!

“Maui January 2013”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

We always stay in a condo when we travel to the islands. Best way to have the kitchen, 2nd bath, etc... First time staying in Lahaina, instead of beachfront on Maui. Perfect location so all of us could walk to beach, shops, restaurants, and to the dock without worrying about parking. Family trip with our 2 20-something daughters.
Individual owners for condos--would suggest a few more amenities in the kitchen: utensils and seating was a little lacking (only 2 barstools for eating at the bar, needed 2 more)
Waited for 2nd day to get our rental car (saved 2 days rental fees). Then easy drive to anywhere we wanted to go.Weather was a little unusual--high trade winds came in, bringing unsettled weather. Re-scheduled our activities after winds died down, but don't worry--the sun was always within chasing distance. Just take care when entering the ocean. Recommend Kihei in winter for a more summertime feeling with larger white sand beaches.

Room Tip: Be prepared to pay $15/day for parking. budget for it since it's so convenient. Use the pavilion...

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

This was my first trip to Hawaii and didn't want to rent a car the whole time. This place was perfect. Its right in the center of Lahaina so everything is in walking distance.When I did rent a car I always found street parking. The Hotel was clean and well kept. Pool was never over crowded. If your looking for a place to stay in the middle of town this is the place for you.
