Maid service during your stay will be an additional fee and not part of the cleaning fee shown in your booking. <br /><br />We have a video/audio security camera mounted outside/above the front door. It is turned on during check-in and check-out days to verify safe arrival/departure of guests, and to assist guests with any unit access issues (e.g. digital code entry/physical key access). <br /><br />We are honored to donate 5% of our profits to Make-a -Wish in Hawaii.

Furthermore, our complex will likely be exempt from the ban and be reclassified as hotel zoning, per the most recent legislative proposal from the Maui County Council.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />440010510032, TA-108-172-1856-01
