Melinda is a very friendly, helpful host...and her 3 cats are great! You can easily walk to the beach or into town from her home. Melinda made excellent suggestions for places to eat and a fantastic beach (airport beach) for snorkeling (with bathrooms and easy parking). The road noise can be loud at night, but all you have to do is turn on the air conditioner and sleep soundly. Melinda generously shared her kitchen and TV room. Peaceful garden with lots of birds. Can't imagine a better value in Lahaina.

Melinda is the reason the experience went so well....she is loving and welcoming....as are her family.....the cats, birds and plants....if you want a personal touch and to see how Mauians really live....stay at Aloha Lani Inn,

I thoroughly enjoyed my 7-night stay at Aloha Lani Inn. Melinda was a superb hostess, I felt like part of the family as soon as I arrived. She was always available if I had any questions or needed help, and offered a lot of tips on places to go, good eating spots and where to find Lahaina's best Mai Tai (sorry, won't divulge the location here)! I loved the private guest room and bathroom, but I equally appreciated the full use of Melinda's living room, kitchen and beautiful lanai. It was easy walking distance to the beach and harbor, the Banyan Tree, the Front Street strip, just about anywhere you wanted to go. It truly felt like home and when it was time to leave I felt I was leaving a dear and close friend. On my next trip to Maui my first choice for accommodations will be the Aloha Lani Inn.

We think we made a good choice by staying here on our recent trip to Maui. We would recommend this cozy guest room and house to anyone wanting a good value for their money. We had a clean bedroom with our own bathroom, and use of the kitchen area and living room area with satellite television. We could sit outside and watch the many birds feeding in the backyard on the feeders she put out. Melinda helped us when we needed places to eat and things to do, and also with the history of the area. She was full of information! We were within walking distance of downtown Lahaina, and to the ocean. On our next trip to Maui, we will definitely stay here again!
