While we had visited the place a long time ago, the fantastic upgrades and unique view location of this property are breathtaking and offer perhaps one of the best place to enjoy the Kaanapali shores. Whether you want to listen to the waves crashing on the beach eight floors below while watching whales breaching within swimming distance of the property, or gazing at the stars while listening to the traditional music of the Luau show next door, the property offers a level of luxury and comfort equal to five star resort while still making you feel at home.
Easy walk to nearby restaurants and bars, or a fast drive to Lahaina where choices of activities and stores abound, make this particular location a destination of choice. While one has to drive from and to the airport, the trip is easy and enjoyable, at times following the seashores and offering the beauty of the island along the way. Our 20 something year old daughters loved it and took full advantage of the many activities offered either via the resort's concierge or through the many outlets located nearby.
One important detail: You must have a vehicle to take full advantage of what Maui has to offer. Beyond the flexibility of reaching farther away places, it will help you with the grocery shopping and the last minute ideas for a restaurant or an outdoor activity that requires some travel.
In summary, we think that our stay was wonderful even with the small appliance problems that were quickly fixed by the owner as soon as they were informed. We highly recommend this particular corner unit above the beach with unobstructed view of the channel and the islands nearby. Enjoy!
