I am so excited for you we had such an amazing time that we wanted to buy that condo!The fridge is full size and the kitchen has everything you need.Kona cofee on the lanai sounds like heaven right now.
Star Market is across the street and its a full size grocery store so we never bothered with Walmart or Costco.We loved watching the sunset from our balcony so we would get salad from the salad bar at Star Market,some sort of meat or fish for the grill,bread cheese and wine.What a lovely way to end the day!
If you are up for a nightcap the hotel next door (Kannapalli Shores I think)has a pool bar that is open until about 9pm.We went to bed early and got up early(totaly opposite of home!)
We snorkeled almost everyday and it was so awesome!We swam with many turtles,saw an eel and an octopus and the many amazing fish of Maui.We did not bother with tours there was great sightings 100 yards from the hotel.The Dive shop (same parking lot as Star Market)is extremely helpful!
Promise me you will do at least one breakfast out!This was our favorite:The Plantation House at Kapalua.Gorgeous views of the ocean and the world renown golf course.They have crab cake Benedict for $11!Need I say more?We went 3x!
Whalers Village is fun for shopping and lunch.You can get there by walking on the beach (about 45 min.)not that easy in the sand since the incline is quite steep so good exercise.Good news is there is a $1 bus that will take you right back to the Mahana!Or you can drive it%26#39;s only 5 min,we got lucky with free parking but be prepared to pay for parking.Check out KARIZA it%26#39;s a kiosk in the middle of Whaler%26#39;s Village.I lived in those wrap dresses so comfortable and pretty.They show you all the ways to wear them and give you a DVD too.
Lahaina is fun town a 20 min drive away.My husband took surf lessons and loved it!He highly recommends Goofyfoot.I shopped that day and I highly recommend jewelry from local artists.You will see!
Enjoy!And I would love to hear about you trip.Any more questions are welcome!
I meant to drop you a note and now I realize that I just relived my trip.Thank you.So I guess I will copy and paste and post the review that I was procrastinating to do so.

I%26#39;m so glad you enjoyed your trip! We are staying at the Mahana in 20 days but it feels like an eternity! Quick question, what size room did you stay in? We have a studio but would like to call them with room suggestions so our chances are better in getting an updated room. Thanks!

We got a studio without option to upgrade.(We booked directly with the owner through VRBO)
We were totally fine with the small space.Most of our time was on the lanai and that ocean goes on forever so the room does not seem so small.
Washer and dryer was a great help too!No damp clothes to haul home.
So that you can visualize a studio is the size of a regular hotel room (with one queen bed)But in addition you get the kitchen.
Have fun!!!
