3. We stayed in one of the cabins which was very convenient; you literally step out onto the lawn and then the beach; it avoids having to into the hotel and bother with elevators.

4. Little did I know when I arrived that the upgraded room to Ocean view, meant that I saw a gimpse of the ocean if I could just try to avoid looking directly at the roof that the room faced.

8. if book an ocean-view, for maximum use of balcany ask for north side of hotel (offers both shade and view of the most ocean, whales, and beach); even with a rental car, use the convenient free trolley to visit Whaler's Village to avoid costly parking; staff is more friendly than larger hotels; nightly beachside entertainment and torch lighting are nice touch; rooms are fully adequate and clean; small refrigerator is nice; there is a very tasty deli (CJ's) with free 'hot spot' in the fairway shops only 2 blocks walk from the hotel; finally location (free Internet at the hotel is limited to 15 minutes per session), location, location.

9. I even ended up using the valet at one point simply to avoid the long walk to the hotel from the available parking spots (but this was only because we had a lot of stuff we were bringing up to the room after spending a day shopping in Lahaina).

"Simply Outstanding " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/27/2010 Vote

10. This is Maui, so try to relax and don't spend too much time running around and avoid time share presentations like the plague (unless you want to buy one).
