Stayed for a week after spending a few days at the Marriott in Wailea. MUCH better value for money here. The Orchid Suite was fully equipped for a lovely honeymoon. Owner/caretaker was away on the mainland visiting family, but left us the number of someone she left in charge, who was spotted a couple of times and incredibly friendly. Didn't really need anyone anyhow.
Bed - really comfy. Interior decorations lovely (including candles). Fully equipped kitchen (with dishes/wine glasses/really anything you'd want for a week or two). Quiet - only saw a few couples very briefly while coming and going or swimming. Pool - spotless, small, and right outside your door (regardless of the suite you choose.) View - (Orchid suite balcony/lanai) - not great, probably the best of the complex, one CAN see the ocean, but only just, establishment next door/foilage/etc blocking the majority. You can hear the garden waterfall splashing into the coi pool downstairs outside the suite however, and there's generally a nice breeze blowing through that made up for it in my opinion. S. Kihei Rd is only a property away (the one blocking the view), so there is a little (imo) traffic noise, but definitely not enough to ruin the deal for me. Location - excellent and a big plus - the upside to being really close to S. Kihei Rd :) - we fell in love with Kihei as a community. Everything you could really want pretty close, but not too taken over by the big league resorts yet.
Bad stuff - upon arrival, the upstairs bedroom smelled a tad like vomit. (?) This dissipated fairly quickly - or we got used to it - and/or the open door helped. Never got the wireless intarwebs to work. Connected to the router just fine, but the router is/was not flowing through. These were minor details in our overall Pualani experience.
Will not hesitate to stay here again, and in fact are planning on going back periodically in the future as our budget allows. :)
of note: we didn't actually hit the beach directly across the street (snorkeling @ Wailea mostly,) but it looked fine from a distance.
