This is one of our favorite spots on one of our favorite islands in the world. You can stay in the beautiful hotel or rent a condo on the professional level Kapalua Bay golf course. Either venue will allow you to enjoy the island of Maui in ways that are unrivaled in any other location.
Aside from the golf on the Arnold Palmer designed course and the weather, the big attraction is the beach which is absolutely fantastic. It is large enough that you will rarely be crowded but at the same time it is small enough that you won’t have a lot of people walking over you looking for shells. The beach is about 20-30 yards deep and the waves rolling up to it are just right for playing in – not so aggressive that they knock you over but not so meek that you feel like you are on a lake in the Midwest.
A special attraction of the beach is that it offers wonderful snorkeling on both ends. The beach is guarded on both ends with small peninsulas of rock and this offers the underwater wildlife a great venue for living.
HINT: stop at a local grocery store and buy some frozen peas or frozen corn, take this out in the water with you when you snorkel and throw a few handfuls around yourself. You will instantly be the best friend of several hundred fish as they swarm around you.
If you don’t like laying on the sand of the beach but still want to enjoy the Hawaiian sun, the 
peninsula behind the main hotel is very large and covered with a lush, well maintained lawn that is quite enjoyable to lay on or toss a ball/frisbee.
The hotel has very nice rooms that will not remind you of the typical business hotel on the mainland. The furnishing is first class and the staff is very helpful. The on-site restaurants will satisfy even the most discriminating palate.
If you prefer to stay in “your own place” then you will likely enjoy a condo on the grounds. Most of the condos will sit alongside the world class golf course and there are few things that are more relaxing and enjoyable than getting up early, sitting on your lanai, drinking your morning coffee while you watch the birds wake up. Please don’t grab that morning paper to take out on the lanai and read about the troubles of the world – after all you are in paradise. Let someone else worry about the troubles of the world for a day or two.
Wow. The place looks beautiful. Cannot wait to get there. Really breathtakingly beautiful if I say so myself. I am sure my wife will just fall in love with it on first sight.
