I had a great stay in Maui! The location of this place is fantastic! The beach is quiet and beautiful. The grounds are clean and well maintained. The one time I went to the pool it was warm, clean, fun. My room was also wonderful, with a very comfy bed, kitchen, nice bathroom and view of the ocean from the balcony. I would absolutely stay here again!

I really liked the spacious room, the pool, and the common areas. The Castaway Cafe was very convenient but it would have been nice if there multiple restaurant options on site as well as a store where you could buy snacks and other miscellaneous items. It was a very short walk to the beach, but the resort itself was a bit isolated from other tourist attractions (e.g., Whaler's Village). Although the room was nice, the bathroom was not modern and it could use some updating (e.g., a walk in shower as opposed to a bathtub).

We did love the convenience of parking close to the elevators and the easy path to the beach. The pool was a bit run down as was the property. It looked aged and not well kept. This was the same with our actual studio room. We were a bit disappointed with this property.

We stayed in the same room for the second year. We love the pool and access to the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were there when tropical storm Lala came through and the resort lost power. Flashlight and lanterns available for guests and charging for phones. The staff handled questions with grace and patience. Will definitely visit again!

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.

Property was well kept but our specific room was just quite out of date.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.
