10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 4 nights and loved our remodeled 2 bedroom unit (looks better than some pictures we have seen so I think it was remodeled ). The kitchen was perfect for a light breakfast and coffee was provided. Loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer in the unit. Parking was outside and you donโ€™t need to pay extra like some hotels. The two pools/ hot tubs were really nice. The only problem we encountered was the flies at the pool-they were constantly on our bodies! It would have been nice if beach chairs and umbrellas were offered. We would stay here again if we come back but I doubt we would. We didnโ€™t think the beaches were as nice as Maui."
