I was in town for work but I snuck in a couple of days on the front & back end to enjoy Maui. On a budget, this hotel stuck out and I couldn't believe that the location is what it was chocked up to be. But I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the room was tiny but it was ON THE BEACH. It was clean and tidy. For work, I was able to get intermittent internet access. Close to Wailea my fiance and I were able to head over there for a luau. We dinned at the restaurant on site and at the neighboring hotel's cafe as well - both were great. It was nice to just get dressed and head over to a nice meal. I wrote this review because I saw that there were some negative postings about it & I wanted to share my very positive experience instead. So I agree, its a bit of a stretch to call it a "hotel" but for the price, the location and the value I would return to this little "hotel" again.

We spent one week in August 2006 and went back for another week in August 2007.
Small but CLEAN rooms, great TEMPUR bed, nice Staff, great location.
For a couple that just shower and sleep in the room it's very cheap.

Let's be clear- this is not a hotel, at least not by my definition. All rooms are entered from the outside and are in one of four (maybe 5) small buildings that are connected by walkways. They do have one computer located where the front office is, and you get time on it the amount depending on whether or not people are waiting. I think they give you 10 minutes if there's someone there. There was "complimentary" breakfast which was really a comeon for the Orbitz rep to sell you tours. Breakfast consisted of fruit, coffee and rolls..

The room was small and clean but the walls were so thin we could hear the guy next door snoring as if he was there with us. The TV was small, and there was a small refrigerator and microwave as well.. All rooms are a very short walk to the beach. Parking on the south side was very difficult, hard to get in and out of spots because the driveway was so narrow and deadends. Better to park in the lot on the north side, which is near the real hotel that is next door.

The price was good as was the location. I was just disappointed because I was expecting a real hotel with somewhere to hang out after my wife went to bed (she's a very early to bed person). It was strictly a place to sleep and keep our stuff

The location of this hotel is awesome. You can walk a few meters and you're right on the beach, in a very nice spot for snorkeling. You can also walk along the beach and find some other nice places for diving (all recommended in a dive / snorkel magazine I got there).

It's also a couple of km of Wailea Shopping and some delis and stores.

The bad part is the parking, especially at night, is always full because of the restaurant there (and you have to use the public parking next to the hotel). And also the rooms are very small (not a big problem considering there's so much things to do there, that you end up using the room just to sleep in).
