We booked our stay with Maui Banyan Vacation Club. When we arrived we were slightly confused because the hotel entrance Aston Maui Vacation Club. I learned that Maui Banyan has a portion of the rooms there, booked and cleaned by their own staff. The office staff at Aston Maui were only able to check us in and give us keys, for any other needs we had to call Maui Banyan staff on the phone. There were a couple numbers given for different needs: one number for booking, another number for late check out. Staff I talked to on the phone were kind and helpful but this was an inconvenience.
The location of the hotel is ideal. It's within walking distance to Kamaole Beach 2 which is the best of the three Kamaole beaches in my opinion because it was the least crowded. There is only street parking available for that beach so it's not as accessible.
The room was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, the showers were hot, the AC was sufficient. The only issue I had were there were a couple times I wanted to enjoy the balcony but there were yard main trees working. The use of their equipment was very loud. Something a person couldn't sleep in through or nap through.
