Iâm not going to leave some horror story that was just a bad experience. Iâm going to explain why this is just a bad hotel and you shouldnât stay here, in the context that if you want a hotel where the room is just fine and donât need anything else, you can stay somewhere much cheaper.
Ocean view is what any other hotel would call a partial ocean view. Be aware of this, because the hotel will defend this misrepresentation.
The pool is weak for a Maui resort. Itâs just a small, rectangular pool.
The overall vibe is more of a strict rules environment rather than relaxing and laid back. I was sitting outside and they were threatening a guest with a $500 fine for smoking outdoors. Every hotel is smoke-free, but these guys are SERIOUS. Even as a non-smoker, it feels weird being threatened with a fine if you so much as vape on the property or in your room.
Towels at the pool are serious business too. You get a towel card that awards you one towel. You return the towel, you get the card back. Although when we went to the pool, there was a one-hour wait on towels, so what are we getting banged with resort fees for?
Housekeeping doesnât come every day.
Everything is or feels like an upcharge.
The room was just fine, but again, if youâre going to a resort and donât need anything besides a basic, satisfactory room, stay somewhere cheaper.
