Questions about a few of the Maui towers (by John M.):
We are owners and have gone the past five years. Anytime is a good time to be on Maui. We like February because it is the middle of whale season, and slightly cooler than summer months. We have never seen the main pool too crowded during school months, even after the two new towers, Napili and Lahaina, were completed.
We took our 5 yr old and 9 yr old grandkids in February and they cannot wait to go back. The ocean was a little cool for them, but you can get KoreDry tops from Victorykd.com to take the edge off.
You can find a picture of the resort at http://mauimarriottrental.com/marriott_resort. It will give you some idea of proximity to the beach. As you can see, the beach is just a few steps away. The main pool is between the two center towers. Left of the pool is Molokai, right is Lanai, and Maui is the low connecting wing in the center. Try for a room on the pool-side of any of these wings to be closest to the main pool.
We have not encountered a musty smell in any rooms. All rooms have been very nice. We bought from an owner, and saved a bundle. We always go back to MMOC, and found no benefit in buying from Marriott. We find it is an easy, relatively inexpensive way to guarantee a fantastic experience at one of the world's most desirable locations.
Soda and coffee is expensive. Buy mugs.
