There's a great big community meeting room, and the kitchen, as well as smaller meeting rooms all on the upper floor. Downstairs are various services including the department of motor vehicles upcountry office. What a great place to have a party for a wedding or graduation and invite everybody you know. There are beautiful views of the ocean and central valley, including Molokai and the west Maui Mountains. Step out on the covered lanai to get some fresh air and enjoy the views. The vast central space has an open beam ceiling making for great acoustics. This is a real highlight of the community in Pukalani.

We have been twice and gotten lucky enough to see Kalvin and Dana who always remember our family and make sure we have everything we need. The infinity pool has such a beautiful view and during the right time of year you can see whale spouts too. The day is filled with snacks, cool towels, cooling eye masks, a spa treatment, live music, and a champagne toast to finish off the day. While it is not cheap, your experience here is truly peaceful making it a must do on your trip.

You spend the day lounging in comfortable, shaded (if you want) loungers while friendly servers provide you with all kinds of treats. We enjoyed delicious food tastings (complimentary), well done drinks, healthy meals, cooling towels and eye masks, and afternoon live music. It was quiet and a much needed respite. We liked it so much that we returned for a second day.

Hence, one of the unique features of their utopian water playground is a water elevator, touted back then as "the world's only". Located on the pool's lowest level, a mysterious stainless steel door is built into the manmade rock feature, visible halfway out of the water. The attendant opens said door to reveal an open-air chamber, with a circular platform and tube wrapped in thick rope which is what you sit on for the ride. About 6-8 people can ride at once depending on size. The door closes, followed by a waterfall that pours into the chamber from above, in turn lifting the tube to the top of the chamber. This brings you to the upper most level of the tiered pools where you can begin your journey to the bottom again via several slides, rapids and lazy river. OVERALL: Still the most fun hotel pool on Maui.

Fun to never have to get out of the pool to use the elevator. Not up and running though. Maybe one day...guess we should be happy we don't have to use it as it was intended. Still really cool though.

This was my favorite pit stop along the Road to Hana and, quite frankly, one of the best swimming…read moreholes I've ever been to. Blink and you'll miss it - there are no signs or markers and barely any parking in the area, which only adds to the local appeal. Tourists have no idea it's here and drive right past because the main attraction (the waterfall and diving rocks) are tucked out of view from the road above. To find it, look for the small gap in the guard rail where you hike a short ways down a path to the pool. At the end of the path you'll be treated to several large rocks that are good for laying out towels and lounging about. It's also a great spot to watch the brave ones dive off the rocks near the waterfall. The water here is super clean and refreshing. It's the absolute best place to cool off while avoiding the crowds.

During the winter months it tends to get cold at parties so dress warm.

COMMUNITY CENTER: The open-air, single level, rectangular-shaped building was just the right size for a party and can accommodate about 200 people. A small kitchen is on one end, a stage at the other, and restrooms out back. Views of the outside are second to none as windows line the entire front and back of the hall. The facility is older but is in exceptional shape. I did hear from the party host that she had to bring in some rented tables and chairs at her expense as the ones they provide weren't in the best shape. TENNIS COURTS: There are 4 of them but I didn't check it out. TIP: Sunsets here are killer! OVERALL: It was a further drive for me but I'm glad the party was here rather than at the decrepit Eddie Tam venue in Makawao.

The sand is incredibly soft and smooth, making it perfect for relaxing or long beach walks. There are quite a few birds around, and they aren't afraid of humans, which adds to the charm and makes the experience feel more connected to nature. The views are absolutely spectacular, with stunning scenery that makes the trip more than worth it. Parking is available but does require a fee of about $16, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The beach can get windy, and there may be sporadic rain, so it's best to plan ahead and check the weather. Overall I'd love to come back to visit again!
