"This place is somewhat tough to review. It had pluses and minuses. Room was decent in the renovated tower. Our AC went out after several days and we had to change rooms as they were unable to fix it. We had an 18 month old with us and having to pack up the room to move, only to have to repack again upon checking out. They did wipe out the charge for a days rent on the cabana by the pool. The cabanas are great place to relax, comfortable and able to block wind and provide shade. The pool seemed clean and the water was a great temperature. The restaurant on site was a blessing, easy to grab breakfast on your way out. Also with the little guy, it made grabbing togo dinner convenient and we spent one evening in the cabana with dinner. The stairwell did smell of cat piss but was the only area that I noticed a foul smell.
The hotel is very close to amenities like the airport, walmart, groceries and malls. It is centrally located and heading to all parts of the island are fairly easy. 15 minutes from Kihei, 25 minutes from Makena Beach, 2 hours to Hana, 90 minutes to the summit of Haleakala and 45 minutes to Lahaina. This made getting around the island to see the sites very convenient.
For the convenience and price this place was excellent. If you’re looking for a high end resort, look somewhere else like the Four Seasons or other places on south shore. If you’re looking for a place that is easy in and easy out and keep a little one where nothing is too far or difficult, it work"
