We had an excellent stay here! The unit was clean, well furnished, comfortable, and inviting. As soon as we walked in the door, we were pleased with our choice. This building is at the top of the hill close to the main road and lobby. While it meant we were further from the ocean than some units, it also meant that we could see the ocean over the tops of the other buildings.The lanai is incredible! It has plenty of space and nice furniture. At night, the door covers provide excellent privacy and room darkening.The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was effective, and we all slept wonderfully! The kitchen had everything we needed.We were staying in the unit when Hurricane Nolo passed by. All of west Maui lost power for 36 hours, but we managed to stay comfortable in the unit. The screen doors let a good amount of air flow through, keeping the unit from getting miserably hot. We were able to use the grills to cook our dinner.The location is perfect. As far as distance from the beach, it is a bit of a walk to get there, but not terrible. We walked to both the part of the beach where the resort cabana is and the stretch near Black Rock more than once. We even walked down the beach to Airport Beach for snorkeling. Unfortunately, the beach in front of the cabana is currently missing due to storms, but there is a lovely beach right next to it. We also both walked and used the free Kaanapali Trolley to go to Whaler's Village.
