Stayed 2-5 Nov 2023. We had a 1BR King with Oceanfront view, and our room was in the Papaku wing. It was a couple's vacation.
This being after the Lahaina fire, we were not sure how the trip would go. But the resort itself had all infrastructure working - water, electricity, wifi, AC all worked fine. Our room was apparently a recently remodeled room, and there were no issues. Very nice view of the ocean.
Food was a bit of an issue. Nothing really formal open for breakfast or lunch other than a to-go shop and very small window to make take out food. The Maui Brewing Company is in the resort, but it was only open 4:30 to 9PM. We anticipated this and bought small things for breakfast at a market, and for lunch did get things like a sandwich from the to-go shop.
The pool was a little dated, but OK. No hot tub.
Whaler's Village is a 5 minute walk at most from the resort. Lots of dining options there (recommend Leilani's as the best, but the pirate "food truck" wasn't bad).
We rented casabellas and umbrellas for the beach, with tax about $110 each day. They were set up just fine by the excellent staff there. The Black Rock for jumping and (just OK) snorkeling is perhaps a 5 minute walk on the sand north.
Onsite self parking was $20 per day.
The resort is housing some of the displaced residents from the fire. No issues there, everyone was polite and/or pleasant. But overall the resort did not seem busy at all. We were guessing it was still under-occupied.
