The staff was super friendly and helpful. We got an ocean view upgrade and the room was great, it look updated and clean. The pool and hot tub area was nice and the gardens are pretty. Also, the little snack nook was a nice bonus. That being said, the buildings need upkeep they looked run down and there were chunks of stucco missing in several places but I would definitely stay here again you cant beat the price for the area.

Liked: Cleanliness

I see why this was more affordable than others

The room was loud from the blowing A/C unit and the fan above. Additionally, there was a loud walker upstairs. More uncomfortable was the dampness in the room. Just seemed that the humidity was high and I was in a just barely damp comforter. The room was dark too as the ceiling was low and there was lots of foliage out the back window. It's not beachfront like the photo seems to show.

Older property and nothing fancy but suited our needs for a couple of nights. We had a penthouse suite garden view which had lots of room for only 2 of us. Unit was clean, small pool and jacuzzi that we did not use. Complex was quiet and had a nice beach across the road for morning walks.

Safe and quite, nicely appointed interior renovations. They upgraded me to a waterfront view, which was very nice. The only issue was the shower didn't get very hot, just warm. Other than that, great!

Great place to stay!

Front desk service was friendly. I checked in late after a long work day and she helped end my day on a positive note. The room was comfortable. A small area rug would have been nice, but the bed was comfortable and the fridge had ample room for everything.

They canceled on me.

The hotel notified me of their cancellation of my room the day of arrival. Actually it showed up in my notes once we landed in Maui. So I was not happy with them. Found other arrangements on hotel.com. A hope you want to stay a trip
