We have been to Hawaii many times, but we had never been to the Kapalua area of Maui. We saw the large lanai of this unit and read others' reviews and decided to take a chance. And, wow, it even surpassed our expectations. The Kapalua Bay beach is less than a 10-minute walk away (even with my inflatable paddleboard on my back). This unit is on the side closest to the beach, so we liked that, too. There are 3 pools to choose from. And the lanai is wonderful. The condo was very clean and comfortable with everything our family of 4 needed for a week. There is honestly not a single negative thing I can think of. We loved Kapalua and the surrounding area. So many great restaurants (Joey's Kitchen!) and beaches right there (boogie boarding at D.T. Fleming Beach!), and it feels off the beaten path. We can't wait to come back and stay in this unit.
