I'm thinking of taking the wife to Maui and staying at this property and will avoid this unit as you recommend. My question is about the beach area. A recent review says to avoid it. Do you concur?
Many people enjoy the worlds elite kite surfing and wind surfing beaches in North Kihei. We do not recommend swimming due to the near to shore reefs. The most beautiful beaches in the world however begin at just 3.1 miles South of us and quite easy to get to by foot, car, or bus.
After having read about the beaches in Maui in "Maui Revealed," I do concur. There has been a serious pollution problem due to a current that flows north from a water treatment plant. The author recommended that you not go into the water in Kihei. We saw many other beautiful areas on Maui that we would have chosen had we known about the problem before selecting Luana Kai. Bon voyage!
