My husband I stay here for our honeymoon and it was great! We stayed in Hono Kai unit A16 which has a garden view and on the ground level. Many of units have garden view and we ended up preferring the garden view since the gardens are really lush, you more privacy on your lanai (those on the beach view end up with a view of people as well) and it's only ~20 feet to the beach (close enough we could hear the waves at night). The condo was nicely remodeled (new bathroom) with everything we could want/need for taking day trips (beach chairs, cooler) and cooking (blender, dishwasher, etc). We really liked the central location of Maalaea since it's so close to Kahului and Kihei but not busy and since Hono Kai is at the end of the road there is very little traffic on the road. There is a small swimming pool but we never used it - the beach and ocean were right there! The beach is great for walking (most of the other condos in Maalaea have sea walls instead of beach). We went swimming and snorkeling right in front of the condo, it wasn't the best snorkeling (Olowalu was our favorite place) but so convenient. We saw whales every day in the bay. We will definitely be going back!
