The place overall is fine. The rooms are dark so be ready to feel like you are in a cave even though the sun is shining. The beds are not very comfortable and need some serious updating. Eddie is way too overbearing and I think the whole copying of IDs is ridiculous. It makes you feel as if you are a convict or maybe renting by the hour. Please, get some class folks. The hot tub is kept way too hot and I believe that's Eddie's doing. He gets very upset and tells you so if you turn it down. We're the guests, when did he lose that concept? The views from the deck are great, the grounds are well kept, the rooms are clean, no noise from the road, and the on site free computers are very helpful. My partner and I don't care to stay there again after two visits though because we just can't stand being made to feel like we are putting someone out like Eddie who behaved so strangely and made us feel "watched" while there. Oh, and there were some seedy characters in the hot tub one night that just really gave us the creeps so while it sounds interesting to have a clothing optional hot tub up there it can be very dicey. I have no idea how often the clean it or treat it, but I would hope often. Location by the way is awesome which is really the best part of the whole thing. Next time though we are going to splurge and stay at the resort near Little Beach.

stayed here lt summer with my boyfriend travelling from ireland.
was not aware at all that it was a gay resort but didn't mind at all. rooms were so pretty and comfy.....shower amazing. eddie seemed very friendly but i thought the photo copying of id's was a bit extreme. its a long walk from kihei and the road is quite dangerous to walk but we got over it after walking it at least 10 times. rooms were so clean and the grounds were lovely. the rooftop is great to relax although the hot tub is WAY too hot!!! note: i thought i was going to turn into a fireball and just.....well.....die basically.

with that, had a really enjoyable experience but dont think i would return again.

We spent 4 nights here in the middle of a 2-week trip in Hawaii. It reminded me of the old-school roadside motor lodges we used to stay in when I was a kid. The room was OK, certainly nothing special. There was good and bad to be found. The bed was hard as a rock, and the bathroom had a funky smell. On the other hand, we had a kitchen in our room, which was clean and well-stocked with cooking supplies. That was very convenient, especially on days when we left early or got back late from day trips. It was also very convenient to have laundry on-site. Eddie, the host/manager, was friendly and helpful in planning our days. He gave lots of little tips and pointers, how to get to places at the best times, avoid crowds, etc. We had a nice conversation with another couple at one point but otherwise didn't see much of the other guests, although there were a few sketchy-looking characters (as there always are in places like this, so we weren't surprised or particularly bothered by it).

The best part of staying here was the location. It was perfectly located to suit all of the things we wanted to do - the Hana highway, the beaches in Makena, Haleakala. You really couldn't be in a better part of the island to get around easily to all the highlights.

I don't think I'd stay here again but for what we paid, we were fine with it.

We enjoyed 3 days in Kihei at the Sunseeker at the end of January. Michael and Eddie could not have been nicer or more helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. We loved the garden view, and the peace and quiet. The free internet computer was a bonus when planning trips- easy to use and super fast. There are several places on the grounds to enjoy a drink and read, or visit with your neighbors (a nice mix of women and men, all friendly). The hotel is across the street from the beach, but we never had trouble crossing over, and the sunsets from the beach were beautiful. We saw whales every day passing by! This part of Kihei is better for walking, not swimming, since the water isn't nearly as pretty as it is further south. But it is easy and enjoyable to walk north for a good long trek along the golden sand for exercise or just peaceful reflection. The hotel is only about 20 minutes from the airport, and close to adventures south in Makena and north to Lahaina.
