All in all, we had an enjoyable experience at the Maui Sunset. The rooms were fantastic! Clean accommodations, with friendly maintenance staff and meticulous cleaning of facilities. Gorgeous setting, with a fairly good beach... rocky bottom, so bring your water shoes. Great location in Kihei, only minutes away from Wailea, and Lahaina. Only a couple disappointments that didn't yield a 5 out of 5 for our overall experience. With a Family including kids under 10, the pool was very restrictive for noise, pool toys, and in general 'fun'. Feels like Maui Sunset has extended the resort to Family use over time, but is majority 'Senior owned' community. A bit frustrating to be sold a Family environment, but main amenity for the kids - the pool, is so limiting.... where pool toys, and games like Marco Polo are a no-no. We were spoken to by the 'activity coordinator' at the pool whom we labeled the fun police / pool nazi by the end of our trip, because our 5yr old was using his 'outside voice' playing with his 2yr old sister. Same with other families that our kids were playing with. Had a couple of Senior owners be passive aggressive to us in regards to the kids at poolside also. I would highly recommend this be communicated to families before they spend the money, because this could be a deal breaker for some families. Other issue were the room upgrades that were being completed next to our rooms, no advance notice. For three days there was loud construction activity happening from 8am - 5pm. So kids couldn't nap in the afternoon. Would have been nice to know in advance to manage our daily schedule differently. Again, outside of these two items that were more of a nuisance, Maui Sunset is a nice high quality resort, at a great location, at a very competitive and manageable cost! Most likely would consider it again when we come back!
