"Stay was comfortable staff very attentive & accomodating, We stayed in the fire lanai deluxe room (ocen-view) it was amazing. Be prepared to get your steps in going from your room to the main lobby if you’re staying over there, but you will have easy access to the pool and the exclusion will be very much appreciated. Def worth it!!"

"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!"
