nice property, old hotel
The size of the property compared with surrounding hotels is really big. The age of the buildings and rooms is pretty old. The pool is very large and nice. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Not a bad experience overall.

Needs a Little Love
This hotel is what it is - a good bargain for its location north of the center of Kihei. Here's the thing: it's on a beautiful plot of land (former coconut grove) and with a little sprucing up could be a really awesome hotel. Unfortunately it feels dated and worn. Also, hotel cleaning staff don't do a great job. It looks awesome in the pictures provided by the hotel, but in reality is looking dated and worn. On the upside, the desk staff had lots of "Aloha spirit!" In short - you get what you pay for.

The swimming pool was so dirty I could not see my feet and there was brown scum on the surface. I was told by locals not to leave anything of value in my rental car as there was a rash of car break ins in that parking area. I was very disapointed in this hotel.

Try checking out the Road to Hana, it is about 30 minutes away and totally worth it if you are trying to see something amazing without spending a lot of money.

Great location, Great Price, Great Aloha
This staff is super kind, the location is convenient with a darling "private" beach outside our room. It is in desperate need of renovation but then it would cost more, so we are happy the way it is. Great vacation!

In Hotel
If you are in a garden room switch to beachside so you can hear the ocean waves out your window. Don't miss Haleakala Crater in the late afternoon and sunset...no need to freeze at sunrise.

nice, good value, but as expected
From the pricing at first glance, I knew that this resort would not be on the higher end, which I was fine with because I basically just needed a bed, shower and parking spot for the night. The room was spacious, very clean and staff was friendly - but do not expect any on-site F&B, HD TV or wi-fi - the place is comfortable but basic. If you are looking for high end, check out a Starwood or other luxury brand; if you are OK with simple and aren't spending much time in the room anyway, can't beat the value.

bad expectations
worst hotel stay ever
Upon checkin we were told of a 67.50 ammenity fee that was not expected or known about when we personally talked to the hotel days before setting up a room with a king bed. then told that our room was not ready.so we were going to leave our luggage and wait-it was the second lady there that interupted and said the maids were finishing up and we could go in. We pre arranged a room with a King bed. the room given was two double beds, we went back to explain this and got a room with the king bed that was indeed sitting there ready. we then entered a room and was very un happy at the condition. There were 4 windows with wooden slats for replacement of broken glass slats, one window was stuck open, there was cracks along the ceiling in the bathroom and room that were back from mold, the walls in the bathroom alone were in such bad shape with cracks and a wall texture that looked like it had not been touched other that many coats of paint over the last 30 yrs but still looked like it had not been freshly painted in quite some time from the dirt along the corners and baseboard. the bathroom sink was so old, the countertop was the 1970 gold finish and in bad shape and stained with many yrs layers of cracked paint, the bathtub stopper was broken and couldnt be used to hold water for a bath, had to stuff a towel in drain to hold water instead.the walls thru out were dirty and dingy, there were BIG stains all along the bedskirt that looked horible, the back of the front door had big peeling paint from what looked like a sticker placed along time ago and painted over so many times, yet it still was just hanging there by its ends,the playstation the had to play dvd movies did not work properly and had to be tapped on and reset many times for a movie to play, it was complete success to mess with it forever to get a movie to start. the iron they provided did not work, that was the only thing we requested a new one on. never got it and had to request it a second time.We were not given and any info upon checkin that on our first morning there would be breakfast and an orientation with info and things to do stuff. we only found out by a last min call the next morning asking if we would attend right when we were heading out the door with other plans, had we known on check in about this we would have gone to the one and only breakfast they offered. I explained this and they made no arraingements for us the next day. in fact there front desk was very non accomidating about anything. There was one gentleman there one night who actually went out of his way to help me with a map and details on where i wanted to go, the ONLY good exp i had there. They charged way to much to for use of internet at front desk that had computers that were so slow loading pages it waisted alot of min and money using. I knew this hotel was only a 2 star and did not expect luxury but i could of stayed in a one star motel 6 for alot less and had a better, cleaner room where everything worked and I am still trying to figure out the 67.oo plus for ammenity fees. what ammenities, a broken iron dvd player and computer i had to pay for anyways?? VEY VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS STAY
