    Value for money

We absolutely loved the location of this hotel. It was right on the beach in the heart of West Maui, offering stunning views and easy access to the ocean. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a well-equipped fitness center and multiple pool options. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel, everything was well-maintained and tidy. In terms of parking, we had no issues as we were able to park our car with ease. Additionally, the hotel's location was convenient for exploring nearby islands, such as Lanai and Molokai at night, making it a great base for island hopping adventures. The staff were friendly and provided great service, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Couldn't fault.

The location of the hotel was absolutely amazing. It was just a short walk from the beautiful beach and we could hear the soothing sound of the ocean waves from our balcony. Being so close to the water made our stay truly memorable. Additionally, the hotel had great facilities including access to the pools and gym, which was a nice bonus. The hotel staff were also very friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout our stay.

Nothing to complain about at all.

We loved the location next to an awesome beach, just steps away from the lanai doors. The hotel facilities were great, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the transportation options made it convenient to explore this beautiful city.

Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
