The resort is directly on the beach, and while the beachfront itself is fairly narrow with no lounge chairs available, the convenience of having multiple pools right along the edge of the beach made up for it. The beach was clean, beautiful, and relaxing. It was a little rocky, but still had plenty of room to swim. It was also nice to see dolphins on our first day and turtles so upclose.
We opted into the breakfast buffet each morning. It was definitely on the pricier side—$40 per person plus tax and automatic gratuity—so close to $100 a day for two people. For the price, the offerings felt more like a standard 2-3 star hotel continental breakfast, though they did vary a few items day-to-day. The highlights were the fresh fruit, the cold brew coffee, and the serene views overlooking the swan pond. Service was consistently warm and friendly, which we appreciated. Would have been nice to have an omelet station or something along those lines. You could also order a’l’carte if you preferred.
Our room was updated, clean, and comfortable. We were pleasantly upgraded to a partial ocean view at no extra cost, which was a lovely surprise. If I had one suggestion, it would be to improve the toiletries. The bath products felt very basic and heavy on chemical ingredients, which didn’t match the otherwise elevated feel of the resort.
Poolside lounging was a breeze. There were plenty of chairs available throughout the day, no need to wake up at sunrise to claim a spot, and several pools to choose from. Even as non–vacation club guests, we were able to enjoy the vacation club pools, and the adults-only pool was especially relaxing.
My biggest wish for the property would be better lunch and late-night dining options. The only lunch option we found was the poolside ordering, which was average and very expensive. The chicken wrap was tiny, and the poke didn’t taste very fresh. Drinks were delicious but definitely pricey at $20+ each (plus tax and tip). There were two little grocery store/shops on the property that sold snacks and grab and go items, which were fairly priced, but nothing to write home about. Additionally, the property seemed to close down pretty early, so it would be nice to have at least one spot open later for snacks or drinks. We did not try any of the other restaurants on the property.
That said, the resort’s location was fantastic—walkable to plenty of shops, restaurants, and activities. Despite a few drawbacks, we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely return. The grounds, service, and beachfront setting make it a great option for a relaxing Maui vacation.Show More
