The hosts provided extra amenities such as a cooler bag, snacks, extra beach towels, umbrellas, which were very thoughtful."<br />J, C & K, TX, USA<br /><br />"If you like to live in peace and quiet, then Tranquil Palms is for you. The name suits it perfectly. With lush tropical surroundings and views of the ocean, it is the perfect place to start and end the day on your Maui vacation. I like that it is located away from the tourists on the south and west shores, though still close enough to visit those locations should you choose to do so. The location is perfect. It reminds me of old Hawaii and is very relaxing.<br /><br />I felt very private with my own entrance and double door privacy from upstairs. The patio is fully furnished and is a wonderful place to hang out pre or post activity. <br /><br />The amenities of the suite are impressive; the tidy kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils and crockery and it also has a vast array of picnic items and other supplies you will find super useful, tupperware, a day cooler, ice packs, assorted snacks, teas and coffee. They provide beach gear, i.e. high-quality Tommy Bahama chairs, large beach towels as well as assorted other gear for your use, so you are all set for going to the beach which is super convenient. <br /><br />The bathroom is spacious, and loved that the bathtub/shower has great water pressure. Thoughtful touches abound in the Areca Suite, the robes and slippers, the board games, the Maui sightseeing books and the suggestions in a thoughtfully prepared house book. The bedrooms and living space have overhead fans and those are nice on hot days. There are a/c units in the bedrooms, but I didn’t need a/c. I left the screened windows open at night and I was comfortable. The whole place is filled with light from the blanket of windows on the view facing side, yet you still retain your privacy without closing the drapes."<br />L, WA, USA<br /><br />Tranquil Palms is fully-licensed by Maui County and the State of Hawaii.
