Maalaea Banyans 202

The location is excellent for exploring all of Maui, North to South and East to West. The condo was clean and the photos on the listing are accurate. We enjoyed meals and whale watching from the lanai every day we were there. We also enjoyed Sugar Beach just a few minutes walk away. It's a hidden gem! We even spotted a large green turtle sleeping on the tiny bit of beach in front of the condo. The kitchen is well equiped for cooking in, and we appreciated being able to do laundry. The only frustration was operating the TV. We never did figure it out, the directions were beyond frustrating. Although watching TV is not what we came to Maui for, we did want to watch news and shows at night and were really not able to do that. We would stay here again and hope the TV situation can be simplified. Thanks for a great stay!

Couch needs to be updated. Pool and hot tub are small. Would be nice to have a few more spices/oil in the pantry

The host was very welcoming, including follow up contact. We never mastered the television at night, but enjoyed some old shows. The folding beach chairs on the deck were past their retirement date, so maybe a new crew of two is waiting in the wings. Finally, the kitchen had a pronounced and lingering odor. It was unrecognizable, including its source. The deck was wonderful, including the distant breaching whales, and a resident pair of Myna birds keeping watch from a pair of palm trees, their main perch directly in front of the deck. Finally, the location was very convenient and close to many places. Thank you.

The condo is very nice, clean, and modern. There is AC in the unit, but I never used it, as I prefer enjoying the sounds and smells of the ocean, so I keep the windows open. The ceiling fans do a good job of keeping the condo comfortable. The condo grounds are well maintained and very clean.

Our room was comfortable and clean. However the microwave was basically disabled. We could not move the refrigerator to even get to the plug. That was a bit inconvenient.
