Perfectly situated on Hana Bay, this resort complex has a long history (it opened in 1970) and excellent reputation for visitor hospitality. All you have to do is take your morning coffee out onto the lanai of any of these lovely units to know why Hana is often referred to as "heavenly." The units are tastefully and comfortably furnished with tropical-pattern fabrics and light-color wood, and have well-equipped kitchens with all the appliances, table settings, and tools you need to prepare meals. They even have 100% Egyptian cotton sheets on the beds and all-natural soaps and shampoos. Pros: it's a stone's throw to Hana Bay, where you can take a swim or have a Roselani mac-nut ice-cream cone at Tutu's; one-night rentals are accepted. Cons: early to bed and early to rise—no nightlife or excitement here.

We stayed in a studio room (#102) for 2 nights. We found the room to be clean and nicely decorated. It had a full kitchen, and included kitchen supplies--- dinnerware, silverware, pots, cooking utensils--- I think anything you would need to prepare a simple meal. The refrigerator even had a filtered water pitcher filled with water already.
When we arrived in the afternoon, since there is no a/c, the room felt stuffy, but by evening, with the breeze off Hana Bay, it was comfortable to sleep with the lanai doors open and ceiling fan on. The room has a lovely view of Hana Bay, and falling asleep to the sound of the water is so relaxing.
The lanais have privacy walls, but sitting out at night, you do hear the conversations from others--- but we did not have any noise in our room that kept us from sleeping.
If you desire something more affordable than Hotel Hana Maui-- I recommend you check out the Hana Kai, I would not hesitate to stay there again.
