The comforts of home, the conveniences of a hotel, and the fun-and-games of a resort bring family life to full flower. Honeymooners find the spacious grounds and unusually beautiful gardens to be the perfect spots for restful privacy. On Monday evenings, a complimentary mai tai party brings everyone together for hula lessons and Hawaiian music.

During the day, lazing in the two pools and sunning either on their sundecks or on the resort's many trim lawns provide the relaxation guests seek in this part of northwest Maui. Activity options include putting and golf tournaments, pool aerobics, and hula and surfing lessons.

Spread out over 13 acres, the 11 four-story buildings comprising this 364-unit condominium resort leave lots of room among them for semi-private relaxation, including expansive lawns for lounge-chair sunning. One half of the resort precisely mirrors the other. Thus, the north half contains a large pool surrounded by a sundeck containing an extra-large whirlpool spa, and the entire complex is repeated in the south half. Two-of-everything extends to the 18-hole putting greens, the shuffleboard courts, the picnic areas with gas-fired barbecued grills, and the beachfront cabanas equipped with restrooms, soft-drink machines, and saunas. Only the lighted tennis courts, three in number, disrupt this symmetry.
