A great family hotel
The staff is "excellent", really. They care. We were there 12/05 and are about to make a return trip. We had a 1-bed suite for 4 people, which was ok but our "children" are adults so the cot made things tight, so this year we're doing a 2-bed suite. The room was a tad 'worn' but kept spotless, and if you want fresh sheets daily, you are welcome. It's across the street from some of the best beach area if you want the beach. If not the pool is fine, as is the fitness room. The restaurant is passable and just fine for breakfast & lunch; we did dinner out. There's music at the pool in the evenings, and 2 perfectly fine tennis courts. Only 2 things marred our stay at all, and one is true everywhere and will always be a minus to me: straight sheets -- why hotels don't use fitted bottom sheets I don't know. Otherwise the beds were just fine, even the sofabed. The other was I got stuck in one of the elevators, which I guess could happen to anyone, so lucky me. Also, the big thing for us is that it is in Kihei, where you can walk to the ABC store, shops, restaurants...so you're not hostage to the resort "campus". Everything else can be arranged. So it's a place for people who are independent and don't need to fall out of bed onto the first tee. We're looking forward to a great time, at a very modest price indeed.
