The pics are accurate. Parking is under the pool--with open air, not a total basement. Directed to park pretty close to the unit. Outside stairs lead up to the second floor. The 2 BR unit had lanai access from both bedrooms. The west facing lanai (yes, view of the ocean and sunset) had shades to keep out the hot afternoon sun (could still see the view through the shades). The walk to Kaanapali Beach was easy (all of us in our 60s) -- but we did ride the (free) golf cart back to the building once (hours 9 a.m.-5 p.m.). Chairs and towels provided at the cabana and snorkel gear was available in the condo-worked great!The pool was never crowded during our stay - note, no towels offered at the pool -- we found some striped pool towels in the dresser in the condo for this purpose. The game and BBQ area by the pool looked great but we didn't use it (only 4 nights here). A trolley makes stops at Royal Lahaina, Whalers Village/shopping and the Sheraton Maui. And golf!Kitchen had everything we needed - Coffee pot, dishwasher, many pantry staples and utensils/cups, plates, cookware, grilling items. Shampoo, conditioner, bath wash also provided (why did I bring all of these?). This was only my second stay at a VRBO and I was not disappointed.The BR with the 2 king beds had a partition wall from the LR but that was not a problem - just be aware. It also had a separate access door with ensuite bath and laundry (not full-size, but it worked fine for us).Per the pics- roomy/bright!

This unit at Maui El Dorado was perfect for our family of four. The place was spacious, very clean and everyone around the resort was very friendly and accommodating. Our adult children enjoyed surfing and snorkeling at the black rock. There are many great restaurants and shopping available within a 10 minute Beautiful walk. We highly recommend this unit and will be back soon to visit.

We’ve stayed at the el dorado before and really love this location. The pool is nice, it’s close to the beach, and close to whalers village without being in the middle of hotel madness. We love the beach by the cabana and the fact that they provide towels and chairs. This unit was very spacious and the host was easy to communicate with. We noticed some ant traps out but didn’t have any problems with ants as previous reviews state, we also ensured to take trash out daily and be conscientious of keeping food off the counter. The unit is older, the AC made some loud noises when kicking on and off and the sliding doors didn’t close all the way. It is right next to the main pool and parking garage which is convenient at times but you get a lot of foot traffic and noise walking by. We’ve stayed in previous units that had umbrellas, sand toys, etc but this unit is fairly bare bones so be prepared to bring those items yourself or rent them nearby. Overall a good experience with the few notes mentioned above.

Spacious, nice location, beautiful beach, really comfortable condo with a nice sized deck, open kitchen, large rooms and everything we needed. Short walk to many restaurants, a lovely golf course on the property and great walking/running path along the coast. Our only issue was that the main pool was a bit cloudy, but everything else was great.
