Just fine

There is a ton of road noise and a bunch of wind…the beach is decent, the actual condo is dated but perfectly adequate. The kitchen is well stocked while the dryer venting into the shower is gross from my perspective. Everything works and the lady that gives of a parking pass is pretty miserable. Hot tub was cold and grounds were well kept…you are close to a ton of stuff which is nice. I’d probably pick a different property off the main road next time just due to the noise in that I want to hear the ocean, not the cars 😊

Sugar Beach Resort

We love the location of sugar beach resort. We have stayed at this resort 2 times and have always been happy with our decision. This particular condo has road noise, but we expected it based on its location within the resort. I won’t say this resort is “fancy” but it has all the qualities (beachfront, pool, hot tub) for a great vacation. Bonus, is Dina’s sandwich shop, amazing Rueben sandwich!

Perfect Little Getaway

Everything was very nice. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai at night and looking at the ocean. You could even see Molokini and views of Haleakala in the morning colors were beautiful above the other building. Early morning walks on the beach were a great way to start the day. We had so much fun we never made it to the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

Well kept property in a quiet area. You could walk a long time on the beach and not run into lots of people. If you want lots of beach and sun, this is the place!

Easy Breezy

PH1 @ SBR was perfect for our brief island stay. The property owner and site manager were easy to work with and responsive to our concerns. This location allowed us to easily get to/from the airport, drive the road to Hana, summit sunrise at Haleakala, and hit the beach at Kanapali. The suite was well stocked with what we needed for our simple meals and the closet was also well supplied with beach chairs/umbrella, boogie boards, etc. The pull out sofa was a bit more comfortable for our DD and her BF after some elixirs at the adjacent pub. 😉 The beach is easy to walk and the view of the bay, Lanai and Molokini Crater is amazing! Snorkel in the morning as the beach gets quite breezy around 11am mid-summer.

Beautiful place, not walkable

The condo is lovely. Well stocked and clean. The entire property is completely nonsmoking, which we appreciated. The beach is pristine, and we often found ourselves the only ones there. The location is good but not walkable, if you're looking for that. There is an ABC store in walking distance and a sandwich shop on grounds, but that's it for things you won't need a car to get to. The ladies who manage the sandwich shop and bar are excellent to chat with. The staff were friendly and helpful. Kristi was responsive and helpful, but communication about check in and out times conflicted (site, email, and text provided different times) which made things a bit difficult to plan out initially. Nonetheless, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return. Kristi is a wonderful host, and we appreciate her! Mahalo!

Sugar Beach!

Both couples were traveling in celebration of 20 yr and 23 yrs. Initially it was just my hubs and I and when we inquired on additional properties or 2 beds. The price and location did not compare. Sugar beach was amazing. The waves were just enough to get the oceans waves not at aggressive as McKenna Beach or Paia Beaches. The pool was also a treat on days when we just wanted to dip our feet in and read a book. The bar onsite was great to seek shelter from the sun and enjoy a cocktail. The room itself was tight for 4 adults and the pull out sofa bed was missing quite a few springs which made for uncomfortable sleeping. We ended up renting 2 additional beach chairs for the week at the store downstairs for $35/chair. Which was pretty steep considering the local scuba/beach shops in Kihei were 2 for $35. It was convenient to have a washer/dryer in room even though dryer was so loud. We just knew to run it while we were out for the day. Kitchen was fully stocked and nice to see hand/dish soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the unit. One less than to buy. Location is central to a lot! Our favorite was the shops in and restaurants in Kihei. Like Moose, Ohana, Tiki Lounge. I would highly recommend this unit for any couples looking to celebrate the beauties that Maui has to offer.

Good stay

All was as expected based on prior reviews. Place was well kept and sufficiently supplied for all needs. Check in was smooth (even after hours). Since it was a unit closes to the road the previously mentioned road noise was heard from the lanai (as expected) yet never inside or during sleep. Comfortable and clean with good communication.

Pristine grounds.

All fabulous with one exception. Groups of people who know each other monopolized the hot tub for many hours so no one else could enter. This was a nightly occurance. 10-15 people at a time in small hot tub.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very easy check in/out process. The unit was big enough for our family of four. The unit was clean and the bed was nice and firm. pullout couch was comfortable for the kids. Great AC in the unit. Kitchen was nicely stocked WIFI was strong. The unit had everything we needed including beach towels, and beach chairs .We really enjoyed walking along the beach to the ABC store or to get some shaved ice. We would love to stay here again the next time we come to Maui.
