We had to find a hotel for the last night of our Maui trip, after staying at a family member's house in Lahaina. Thank God for Marriott points, or this would have been a VERY expensive hotel stay for one night. This is during the height of after-Covid travels, where cars alone would run you around $2k for the week (we opted to go with Turo.com for car options, by the way). Of all the hotels, not just in the area, but in the entire island - - this is one of the cheaper ones, and it's about $800+ when we looked at the price. Like I said, thank God for points.

Now, it's not the most fabulous hotel in the area, it's an area full of high-end resorts that offers far better amenities than this one.

But, there are a few things that this hotel offer than the others. One; staff. Jenver was an amazing front desk clerk. He was patient during the time we were fussing around for our Covid card, etc. I also requested a quiet hotel room with a view, and he delivered. Our hotel room on the 2nd floor is far enough from the pool/bar noise, but the view is great, we have both ample ocean and mountain views.

Then, then! The pool area. The free live music is outstanding, and the view is stupendous. We stayed there for hours, and we did not want to leave, we only left because we wanted to get some poke for dinner at the local Times market. The sunset, along with the lighting of the torches, the bar food and drinks, and the hammocks and seating area we parked our 'okoles' (butts) to, would be something I could do every day, if my pockets would allow me to.

The infinity-style pool is great as well.

The room, just like any AC hotel, is good and fairly minimalist style. There's little storage, but it's clean, brand-new, and the bed's comfortable. We enjoyed our poke and rice from Times at our room balcony, enjoying the mauka and makai views.

Finally, because it is still, an AC hotel, even though there's definitely a ton of affluent-looking guests at the hotel, I never felt like my (former Hawaii local) self stuck out. No stuffy, snobby Maui island tourists here. My comfort level at this hotel is great.

Will stay there again for sure, I just need to make sure I earn ample Marriott points.

Almost everything here is very nice and orderly. This AC is like every other AC I have stayed with. Minimalist room design. Square toilet. Interesting floor lighting. The pool does overlook the parking lot. My room's balcony overlooked the pool and looked directly into the Bar giving me no privacy. Everything is very tightly packed in. This place was fine for my business trip, I would never pay these prices for a vacation destination.
