We stayed a week after a wedding in Kauai because we love Maui, especially Wailea. It was a fantastic location with great coffee, dining, luxury shopping, and beachfront resorts (open to the public) just steps away. The place was large with lots of light and easy parking adjacent. It was nice being on the ground floor so we could walk right from the lanai to the coffeehouse next door every morning.
It really does make a difference to stay in Wailea rather than Kihei just a minute or two away because it is much less crowded and feels much more upscale without sacrificing convenience. There is also a beautiful market about two blocks away.
We never made it to the pool but the grounds were great. When I had a question for the property managers, they were very quick and friendly.
Hope to return soon!
