Best snorkeling spot on Maui (Black Rock), and very cool river pool with tiny water slide for the babes, wading pool, and fabulous beanbag floaties...fell asleep floating along the river. I appreciated the cultural activities, reef-safe sunscreen available in the lobby, and water bottle stations (mahalo)! Rooms are updated, featuring modern fixtures in the bathrooms, and nice cold rooms to escape the summer heat. I already cannot wait to get back!

If I could make a suggestion, please offer to hire high school kids to clean up the beach in exchange for a free lunch. There are too many soaked trashed towels laying everywhere toward the edge of the beach near Black Rock. I hope they are all cotton towels, but didn't check. It saddened me to see a respectable hotel let that happen to their prized beach, yet I hope it's dealt with soon.
