I've been privileged to visit Maui a few times now and for being the most expensive destination I have ever traveled to for vacation, the "paradise quality" of Napili Village is the best "bang for your buck" on the island of Maui, and this location is TOP NOTCH! This was my second stay at Napili Village as I have found the pristine quality of Napili Bay and the "old fashioned" style of this area is more what I look for than the hustle and bustle of the other larger resorts. I was able to live in the "lap of luxury" reasonably by preparing my own meals (shopping the sales at the close by Napili Market, and grocery shopping at The Times supermarket in Ka'anapali. Also I found great deals at the Island Grocery Depot in Lahaina). If you have more money to spend, there are plenty of fabulous and amazing restaurants right near by as well, including the Sea House and The Gazebo right next door.

The private condo owner Steve was so helpful with my questions and I really love his #4 unit as it is well equipped with my every need. It had very decent cookwear and everything I needed to make some great meals! I was very pleasantly decorated and I was comfortable in the king size bed that has just the right feel! And I LOVE falling asleep on the lanai in the afternoon or late morning after a swim in the pristine ocean.

Please forgive me, because I'm not trying to "poo poo" other venues on the island of Maui (I've stayed at 4 other locations), and the whole island has many varied magical appealings that I recommend experiencing, but Napili Bay, and next door Kapalua Bay are my favorite and I can't say enough that Napili Village has so much for being the least expensive that I have found. I spent one night at The Westin in Ka'anapali 2 years ago and the harried busy and congested quality far outweighed the expensive "luxury" of THAT experience. Give me the quiet old time feel of Hawaii at Napili Village ANY day!

Ok, I'm sure by now you get a drift of my personal preferences! So, more practically I enjoyed the fluffy towels (and 4 large colorful beach towels that belong to only that unit). I enjoyed the pool and often found times when I was the only one enjoying a dip. I loved the sounds of the birds especially in the morning upon waking. I loved sometimes being the only one on the beach after dark and I always felt safe there. The shower was instantly warm and plenty of flow!

I once again took tons of pictures of the landscape and the tropical flowers!
