7. The one downside to the Maui Prince was that it's way down in Makena past the more expensive properties in Wailea that are all attached with a paved ocean walk (like the one in Kaanapali), so you have to drive to get anywhere.

8. On the downside, rooms are a bit small and for a longer stay, one might consider a condo.
