We had a great stay! We've stayed at several properties along Lower Honoapi'ilani and would say this is comparable to the others, which all have various pros and cons. Pros:-Loved the beach access, most of the other properties nearby just have rocks. My husband enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. There are some ants (we weren't sure if they were fire ants) -I got bit one time.-We don't like using AC and it was great to have that front screen door open and the lanai screen door for a cross breeze that kept the place cool.-The unit was on the top floor so noise was minimal. Conversations/yelling kids noise below did travel up, but people kept quiet at night. - The pool was great, nice and large, even when there were lots of people, it didn't feel too crowded. We did wish it opened earlier (9a-9p) as it would be nice to be able to do a 7 or 8am quiet morning swim.Cons:- We're familiar with bug issues in Maui and follow all the trash etc rules, but had many large carpenter ants in the unit, some that flew. We tried to kill or ignore the ones we saw, but sometimes would wake up with a few crawling on us. - The view is amazing - ONLY in comparison to other properties, the high brick walls on either side of the lanai obscure some of the beautiful panoramic view of Lanai and Molokai unless you stand right at the edge. Not really an issue at all, more of a note, since we've been spoiled by lanai views at other places.Other: the kitchen was well stocked overall (even leftover foil/ziplocs from past folks, though no spices/oils). Our only comment was that the unit needs a single bookshelf or tiny pantry - something to better store some of the cookware. Even just a hook to hang the cutting board. We had to get creative when prepping food and doing dishes.The bathroom was clean, however, definitely had some mold/mildew smell. We think for this particular unit it's because of the faux rock shower bottom; water doe
