Met our expectations for sure! Very clean, plenty of extra pillows and linens. The view is fantastic - sunsets at night (at least we had that in December), amazing colors and light in the early morning. Since it's Maui, you'll have a car and there are a ton of restaurants and shopping up and down the blvd at the entrance, though you could certainly do some walking. A few important notes:
- Be aware that this is only the 2nd floor and there's likely to be the owner of the unit above you walking around. It's not super loud, but you can definitely hear anyone up there. Also, while our stay was relatively quiet, the condo doors close loudly. No worse than most any hotel or similar condo, just take note if you're a light sleeper.
- It's Hawaii - roosters are everywhere and can't tell time. Part of the charm, just know you'll hear them at any hour.
- The unit may officially be 202C, but the door just says 202 and inside, you'll only see A and B. You're there!
- The front desk was only open until about 5:30pm for the parking pass, just a heads up.
- Five Palms on the property is very expensive. We only ordered from them on our first night as it was late and we were needing easy take-out. The setting looks amazing (the condo overlooks a part of it's patio seating), but the food we had wasn't worth the price. $120 for 2 adults and 2 nine yr olds, including gratuity. They messed up the kids' orders and my $25 burger wasn't that great - maybe previously frozen, pressed tight, no sauce of any kind and pretty boring. My son's burger from the kids' menu was the EXACT same thing (just different cheese) - same size, same amount of very average fries - but $12 or so less. My wife enjoyed her green curry mahi mahi, but give this some real thought before ordering considering the price. And if you love a good burger, go for something else!
- Finally, neither bathroom had a fan (privacy, smell mitigation). Just FYI if you're loud and stinky! :)
Otherwise, we were VERY happy with our stay, the ease in working with Vacasa (property manager/owner) and their timely texts with pertinent info. Enjoy!
