We loved sitting on the Lanai, with a cup of coffee in the mornings to watch the ocean waves, and cocktails or dinner, at sunset. It's a great place to sit and watch the sunset. It's literally across the street from multiple beaches as well as easy walking to restaurants. The unit, happily, was supplied with beach chair and beach umbrellas. The only concern was the traffic noise, when sitting on the Lanai, as this is the main drag in Kihei. The other problem, we had, is we like to cook many of our own meals. The kitchen wasn't very well suited for that and wasn't very well stocked with cooking gear. For instance, the frying pans were chipped, non-stick (unhealthy to me). However, there were gas barbecues in the swimming pool area. These are the main reasons that I gave it a 4 star rating.
