The Aloha AKU Inn is simply a wonderful place to stay. If you are looking for peace, quiet, solitude, great staff and a very comfortable place to exhale and get away from it all you have found it here.
The staff are like family in the way that treat you, speak with you and generally interact with you. We felt at home and very much welcomed to our 10 day Ohana from the moment that we arrived.
Therese, Jose, Wade, John, and (Later) Linda were all so very friendly and accommodating. the location is just off of South Kihei Road, but you would never know it. The beach is gorgeous and quiet with lots of sea turtles. Not a lot of small fish, or seals, so no sharks! LOL. The water is warm like a bath, and quite clear. The room was very comfortable, met all of our needs, and the Illi-Illi (Sp.?) pools with hot tub in the middle were so excellent.... another great benefit was the center common area where folks before us have left there excess amenities and supplies (Just like we did) so you may not need to go to the store for some basics! Check the cabinets and fridge first!
In summary: The Aloha AKU is great place to go to so you can relax, rest, breath, and get some semblance of sanity back- but I will warn you; you may not want to leave any time soon.
Thank you to all of the staff and Gary & Char for such a great 10 days. It was sorely needed.
The Bartletts,
Don, Kellie, Jessie, and Jamie
