A $100 fee will automatically be deducted from the security deposit for guests entering the condo early or not departing the condo on time. In addition, $100 early check in and/or late checkout fee will also be assessed for every hour guests occupying the condo outside the posted policies as this negatively affects cleaners, maintenance, pest control services, etc. Further, Hawaii is in a labor shortage so cleaners are quite strict on this fact of late (in the past this was more of an option). However, at the front desk area of the Maui Banyan when you register you can leave your bags next to the desk. There is no official bag tag program so this is at your own risk. <br /><br />NON-SMOKING: Please, no smoking of any kind allowed on the property. This includes but is not limited to e-cigarettes/ vapes/ cigars/ cigarettes. If you smoke, it must be in one of the clearly marked designated smoking areas which are located near the bushes in the parking lot behind the tennis court, in the small alcove area near either pool, or in the parking area of the B Building near the bushes. A $500 minimum fine will be imposed if the unit has to be ionized for cigarette smells.<br /><br />Real candles are a fire hazard. No burning of any kind is allowed on the property. This includes incense or mosquito coils inside or outside, or barbecuing on lanais. There are community barbecue areas on the property near the pool area.<br /><br />REGISTRATION: We will pre-register all guests via our CondoControl software and a link to the registration will be sent on the day of your check-in via the condo association to the email you provide us so that you might review the information to ensure it is correct and updated.<br /><br />You will also be physically registering at the front desk upon arrival. (If after hours you can register the following morning).<br /><br />PARKING: Parking passes are given out at the Front Desk when you register. You will need to provide the vehicle's license plate in order to fill out the pass and then display it in your vehicle.<br /><br />POOL: There are 2 pools at the resort and you are welcomed to use any of them. The pools are open from 9AM to 10PM. The pool code will be given to you in a welcome email and can be confirmed at the Front Desk when you register. The pools have a keyless entry. For safety reasons, the pool code is updated frequently at the resort. <br /><br />All persons using the pool area are doing so at their own risk and must follow the posted pool rules. There is no lifeguard at the pool. Children must be accompanied by adults in the pool area at all times and cannot enter the pool or hot tub without adult supervision. Please also be aware of the dangers of swimming pools, hot tubs and lanais and never leave children unsupervised. <br /><br />BEACH GEAR: We provide beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler bag for the beach. We do not provide umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel equipment or beach toys, however, they can typically be rented at reasonable prices locally. Umbrellas can be a liability as the winds do pick up on the beach in the afternoon and be blown into others in Maui so we do not provide them. When the winds do pick up we find that it is a perfect time to head down to the 2 pools located on property. Similarly boards and snorkel gear have attached liability so best to rent from places who specialize and maintain them regularly. Enjoy at your own risk and discretion. <br /><br />By using any of the equipment, and supplies provided and the facilities, you are releasing the owners/ managers of the condo from all liabilities associated with and holding them harmless.<br /><br />By using the equipment, toys, gears and supplies provided and the facilities, you are releasing the owners/ managers of the condo from all liabilities associated with and holding them harmless.<br /><br />TENNIS COURTS are open from 9AM to 6PM. Check with the front desk as hours may change per season. The tennis court requires a key or code for entry which you can pick up at the front desk. Guests wishing to use the tennis courts must reserve their time on the Sign Up sheet at the Front Desk in the main lobby. Free tennis equipment is also provided at the Front Desk. <br /><br />SUPPLIES: Paper goods and soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotions are supplied as a starter pack. Unlike a hotel, we do not replenish these items during your stay. <br /><br />DAMAGES: Please notify us immediately of any damages to the property upon check in. Guests agree to pay a replacement value and or repair cost for any furniture, fixtures and or fitting being damaged during the term of their stay, not disclosed upon check-in. <br /><br />PROPERTY CONDITION: Guests must leave the property in tidy condition at check out, similar to that at check-in. Our professional cleaners will clean the condo. However, excessive cleaning will be billed at $65/hour and will be deducted from the Security Deposit. <br /><br />The SECURITY DEPOSIT is only an authorization on your credit card and will automatically be canceled within 48 hours of your departure by Airbnb (providing that there is no damage or other incurred fees). If you excessively damage the home, you may be charged the cost of repair. As a host we will have 14 days after your stay to report damage to the platform and provide evidence of damage. The platform will charge the amount of damage on the host's behalf to the traveler’s credit card used for the booking<br /><br />OCCUPANCY: Condo is for 4 guests maximum. Please count every head (including babies) in your total. Transparency and trust are vital to the Airbnb experience. Violating the maximum guest occupancy is not only against the Association and Airbnb Rules, but it can also result in a serious hazard in the event of emergency evacuations as well as causing serious health risks directly related to the sewer system being overused. In the event that the guest who booked the reservation allows the premises to be occupied by more than their booking request shows, the guest shall be responsible to pay the host the sum of $25 extra per person, per day for each day the guest was in violation. The guest that books the stay will be responsible for all damages. Airbnb reservations booked for personal travel must be booked by the person who is going to stay at the listing, as 3rd party bookings for personal travel are against Airbnb’s Terms of Service and will not be permitted. If more than 4 people are present or if a 3rd party booking for personal travel was made, guest who booked the reservation agrees and understands that the reservation in its entirety will be canceled by Airbnb and all money for the reservation will automatically be forfeited for guest disregarding these host rules and/or Airbnb’s Terms of Service.<br /><br />Guests acknowledge they will personally occupy the Property for the entire length of the stay and will not sublet. Guests shall not use the Property for any illegal or unlawful purpose, nor shall the property be used in a fashion that disturbs or offends the neighbors. <br /><br />FALSIFIED BOOKING: If your booking is made under false pretense, including, but not limited to, a falsified name, age or size of the party, you will be subject to immediate eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid. <br /><br />RIGHT TO ENTER: The owner or property manager or their designated representative may enter the property in order to inspect or make necessary requested repairs/maintenance. The owner or property manager will give guest notice before entering the property unless it is an emergency. <br /><br />PARTY/EVENTS: No special events or parties are allowed. This includes, but is not limited to weddings, parties, and receptions. <br /><br />Please be informed that the condo is not childproof. It is your responsibility to supervise and monitor your child's activities under your care. <br /><br />The one bedroom is separated from a next door studio unit by a door. Extra measures have been made to soundproof between doors however most condo units are close proximity in Maui and there may be some noise that comes through. If there are any issues with excessive noise during the complex's quiet times do not hesitate to contact security and they will take action.<br /><br />SECURITY: Guests must keep all doors locked when not present. Please do not leave personal items unattended in common walkways or within sight on any of the lanais. Guests bear all responsibility for their own personal property. The owner and property manager are not responsible for loss, damage, or theft of any personal belongings during their stay, however caused.<br /><br />NOISE: The Maui Banyan condos have units on each side of them as is common in Hawaii, however the Banyan has the advantage of the walls being concrete so much more private. For any noise during quiet hours you can contact security. Note that these are owner owned condos so there may be construction and renovation that occur from time to time without prior knowledge given from the condo association. For any construction noise occurring before 8:00 am after 4:30 pm (daytime hours) you can also contact security. If the complaint is not handled in a timely manner please contact me to escalate to the facility the next business day as these are the services our condo complex is expected to handle for us all (owners and guests).<br /><br />The Maui Banyan also has a ventilation system that runs throughout the whole complex for moisture control so the fan in the bathroom can not be turned off therefore our suggestion is to close the doors to the bathroom if the sound of the fan is an issue.<br /><br />There are no refunds or cancellations from noise occurring during regular daytime hours.<br /><br />THEFT and LOST ITEMS: The guest agrees that the Owner/ Property Manager will not be held responsible for any loss, theft or damages of any personal belongings, cash, jewelry and or motor vehicle, etc. during their stay, however caused. <br /><br />FLORA and FAUNA: It is common to see various insects and animals around and inside the property due to Hawaii's tropical environment. For example, tiny ghost ants can appear at any time even after a clean and disappear just as quickly. They are tiny and harmless. Because this happens, there could be ant baits in the unit from time to time. You can also help us avoid roaches specifically by not bringing any paper bags, cardboard boxes, or cardboard box lids inside the condo. This is the #1 way the bugs enter the residence. Costco is notorious for using cardboard box lids to place your purchased items inside for easy carryout / transport. Unfortunately, roaches in Maui absolutely love cardboard boxes, cardboard box lids, and paper sacks. Be aware that roaches lay their eggs inside cardboard and paper sacks.<br /><br />Also, there is a real good chance you’ll see a gecko in Hawaii either outside, on the lanai, and although not very common they can get in the condo. Don’t be alarmed when you see them. They are quite harmless to us humans. They do eat mosquitos, ants, and a certain bug that starts with the letter R and ends in “oach”. Hawaii legends have it that geckos are good luck, so consider them to be your new Hawaiian friends.<br /><br />There are no refunds or cancellations from insect, ant/ant bait or animal sightings, bites or stings.<br /><br />Please do not hang towels or clothing items from any of the lanai railings. Both of these are part of the condo association rules, and security will come by if they are violated and could result in fines. <br /> <br />Drone flying is not allowed on property, and guests flying drones will be responsible for any damage caused by the drone.<br /><br />QUIET HOURS: Quiet hours are from 10PM until 8AM (7 days a week). Please use typical common courtesy. <br /> <br />Before booking we recommend you consult your local insurance provider about the benefits of travel insurance as non-refundable bookings are non-refundable and cancellation policies are firm.<br /><br />Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims and Assumption of Risk:<br /><br />The guest agrees that the Owner/ Property Manager will not be held responsible or accept any liability or issue any refunds for occurrences resulting in loss of occupancy or personal injury caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control.
