The 87-room budget Days Inn Maui Oceanfront
is right on South Maui’s Keawakapu Beach, an ideal spot for lovers of sand and sea. For
dinner, there’s an on-site award-winning Italian restaurant, but for other
meals and snacks, guests must fend for themselves. The property has a chain
motel feel with a bit of tropical flair in the rooms, which are small
and clean. The property is best for travelers who plan to be out of their rooms
and on the go. Especially since there isn't a swimming pool or Internet available in the rooms. ****

Scene
A motel atmosphere with tropical touches and beautiful views
Days Inn Maui Oceanfront sits on a phenomenal
stretch of Pacific Beach, with surfing, snorkeling, swimming, and whale watching
steps from the rooms. Lush tropical plants and flowers surround the grounds. At
the entrance are two island totem poles, an example of the island decor that
makes this chain motel unique. The lobby is small and cluttered, with a cluster
of wicker chairs and a coffee table covered by a lovely quilt. A computer
station and a bank of tour brochures round out the area, but this is not a
gathering place. The grounds offer a private lawn with lounge chairs for
chilling out in the sun, and there are two charcoal grills with picnic tables
for guests' use.Sarento's on the Beach
is a romantic, open-air Italian restaurant serving dinner only, recognized as
one of the best restaurants on the island. Walls are painted mustard and wine and hung with huge mirrors and modern art. But the eatery’s breathtaking
Pacific views are the star. Tables are set with simple white tablecloths and a
private dining room is set aside for special events. Ceiling fans keep diners
cool.
Location
Fantastic location on the beach, near golf club, with spectacular views
The hotel is located on the South Maui coast, right on Keawakapu
Beach, a three-mile crescent of sand voted the island's most romantic beach.
The restaurants and shops of Kihei are two miles away, and famed
Wailea Golf Club is three miles south. The hotel overlooks the Pacific, with
views of Haleakalā volcano in the distance, and is about a 30-minute drive south from
Kahului Airport. Parking at the hotel is free. ****
Rooms
Small, clean, and air-conditioned, with microwaves and mini-fridges
Rooms
here are small, big enough for two guests with one queen bed per room, no
doubles. Decor is basic, but there are pretty blue quilts on the beds and island art on the walls. Microwaves, in-room safes, flat-screen TVs with premium channels, and mini-fridges are provided as well. Keep in mind some rooms get lots of traffic noise. Air-conditioners are set into the wall, but some guests have found
them noisy also; ceiling fans are an alternative. Certain suites
have full-sized kitchens. Bathrooms are tight, with showers only and free
toiletries. ****
Features
Picnic areas with grills, a fitness center, and a laundry room
Days
Inn Maui Oceanfront has a small, narrow fitness center that feels cramped but
has a few cardio machines and a selection of weight equipment for dedicated
exercisers. There’s a TV in the space, but the machines face a blank wall and
are close together. Outside, picnic tables and charcoal grills
are available for guests who want to have cookouts. A coin-operated laundry
room is on hand as well, and Wi-Fi in the lobby is free. ****Sarento's on the Beach is a romantic, open-air Italian restaurant serving dinner only -- it's recognized as one of the best restaurants on the island and draws guests who aren't staying at the hotel. Private access to the gorgeous public beach is easily the best feature at this budget-property.
