8/10 Good
"I wished there were more activities available or at least wished the activities were closer to the pool area. My kids wanted to do them, but the walk was too far since we settled into the pool area already. Everyone was so helpful and nice. This was our second time in Maui, and we brought our kids this time. They had an amazing time. The resort is well maintained and only a 5 min walk to a local market where we enjoyed many meals at. Shuttle service only goes in Wailea area. It was convenient that Enterprise rental was on site. We got our car quickly. The beach chairs and umbrellas were first come first serve. You are added to a waitlist by text. We got there right when it opened up at 8:00 am one day and got one right away; while on our last day, the wait was too long even at 8:00 am, but they provided us with a Tommy Bahama chair to sit on the beach still. Overall, our stay was wonderful. Beautiful property for families. Thank you for everything!"
