"This resort has NO AMENITIES..NO HOT TUB, NO HEATED POOL. NO GYM
NO ATHLETIC FACILITIES. NO ROOM SERVICE. NO BAR. NO SPA
NO LOUNGERS ON THE BEACH. NOTHING!! I'm not sure how this can be called a resort as it's just a motel. This is worse than any Holiday Inn Express in Anytown USA. Yes, it is on the beach but that is its only redeeming quality.
We endured our room flooding through the patio door, a fire alarm going off in the middle of the night, a door that wouldn't shut, a broken elevator that beeped all night, and no wifi for an entire day. They charge for basics like a lounger on the beach ($35/day), a resort fee every day ($45 plus taxes), and self parking ($25/day). I have no idea what the resort fee is for because there is no service here.
The property is dated -- peeling paint on walls, cracked pool cement from a 1960s pool (tiny btw), and deck chairs used in its lobby. There is absolutely no cache or cool esthetic at all. Just dull, old, outdated, sad. I'm embarrassed for Maui in offering so little to people who come here with high hopes.
As for the Maui Brewing Company restaurant on site, it is AWFUL. OVERPRICED AND TASTELESS.You need to drive away from whalers village to get anything worth eating. So really there is no food at this facility.
In a nutshell, do not stay at this hotel. It is well past its prime and will disappoint you.
