8/10
The condo indeed had breathtaking views but lacked the alohoa spirit. There were turtles on the beach everyday! We were even blessed to see the Hawaiian monk seal on the beach as well. The condo was nicely stocked with essentials. We are early risers and were excited to walk down to the beach in the morning but quickly realized that unless you are on the ground floor, there is no beach access due to everything being locked and gated until after management unlocks it in the morning.
Several interactions with the property management left us feeling like we were walking on eggshells. One interaction took when we arrived after a long flight. Our grandchildren were eager to play at the pool but after being told the 5 year old was being too loud we packed up and never did use the pool area as a family again. The close proximity of the pool area to the lower level condos might make this a less than ideal location for families with young children. In addition, be aware the wind blows a lot in this area. I had thought that we would have the same wind patterns as Kihei but that was not the case, the wind blows everyday all day. A beautiful condo with breathtaking views but the limited access to the beach and negative interactions with management kept us from feeling welcome and experiencing the aloha spirit.
