I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but beautiful with an ocean view, and the prices were very fair. However, the room I stayed in felt small and lit up like a prison cell, and the price seemed high compared to other condos in Kihei.

7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, while spacious and equipped with essential amenities like a king-size bed, microwave, refrigerator, and outdoor patio, was in need of some renovation. It felt more like a small studio apartment than a resort, and the pricing seemed high compared to similar options with better views. However, the location was convenient, close to attractions, with a lovely beach nearby. The service was exceptional, particularly thanks to Ke'oki who was incredibly friendly and provided valuable recommendations. The dining experience was good but lacked some options, and the facilities were generally satisfactory.

Staying at this hotel was like a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though smaller than expected, had some good amenities. However, the noise from upstairs was quite bothersome, almost felt like staying at a budget motel for a pretty high price.

The room, while on the smaller side, had convenient amenities like a king-size bed, microwave, refrigerator, and a nice outdoor patio with seating for two. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise coming from the room above, which made the stay less enjoyable.

Service

The service here was quite friendly and attentive. The staff made an effort to get to know guests by name, and the interactions were pleasant. However, we experienced a slight issue during check-in, as there seemed to be some confusion at the reception.

Location

The hotel is situated in a quieter area of South Kihei, making it a nice spot for those looking for a peaceful stay. It is steps away from the beach, offering a convenient location for beach enthusiasts and those keen on exploring the island.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast offerings consisted of packaged foods, including microwaveable bacon and powdered eggs. While the variety was decent, it might not have met everyone's expectations. On the bright side, they provided organic fruits, which was a nice touch.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's facilities were adequate, but there was nothing particularly exceptional. The overall experience with the amenities was average, and we found it to be satisfactory but not outstanding.
