The biggest issue with the timeshares is that they do not have air conditioning, just ceiling fans. The units stay very warm, even with the windows open. The grounds are descent and there is free underground parking, which is... More

Spent a week here in our friends condo and it was very nice. The staff is very helpful and responded to all requests quickly. The grounds are very well taken care of and the on site bar has a fairly good happy hour (they could add a few drinks to the happy hour choices). The main pool was nice and... More

The grounds were immaculate. The gas grills were an awesome feature, were spotless and cleaned daily. The pool is great. The restaurant had great breakfast specials. The... More

They are huge units -- my wife and I booked this unit thru RCI and since we were taking her dad and his GF we needed a 2 BR and 2BA, with ocean view. Which is what we got. The unit was also very spacious and had a huge kitchen, full 4 burner stove and oven and big fridge. The... More

After MUCH research, my friends and I decided to book our 50th birthday celebration with Kay at www.mauikay.com. She was fabulous! Not only did we get the room and location of... More

Great location away from the crowds of Kihe and Kanapalli. Rooms are very spacious and the beachfront complexes are right on the beach. Great view of tutles and whales. The beach is very good for swimming and very quiet. There is a restaurant right on site and two pools. Overall a very good family stay.

The 2-3 bedroom layout is fantastic! Great beach. Fabulous location-close to everything, but away from crowds. Furniture & carpet OK. Kitchen appliances, w&d,bathrooms need serious updating. Painting & thorough maintance is needed for little things. This was our 4 stay here in 10 years.
