Aston at the Maui Banyan was awarded a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and provides convenient access to Kama'ole Beach Park. Stop by your condo and start digging through your luggage for swimsuits, goggles, dive sticks and of course, sunscreen. There are two separate outdoor pool areas, each with its own hot tub. Go for a swim or pull up a lounge chair and relax with that book you’ve been meaning to finish. When the kids get hungry, fire up the poolside bbq grills. Let your little helpers carry burgers, hot dogs and sides. Then lay out toppings and condiments and let everyone go to town. After lunch, gather your crew and head to the on-site tennis court for a game of doubles.

One- to two-bedroom condos sleep four to six guests and have Standard and Partial Ocean Views available. All condos have full kitchens because sometimes a mini-fridge just doesn’t cut it. Bring the kids along to Times Supermarket to make sure that no one’s favorite snacks are forgotten. When you return from the store, whip up a batch of your famous brownies and remember, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate. Don’t worry if the kids ended up covered in chocolate, that’s what the in-suite washer/dryer is for. While the laundry is going, watch a rerun of Friends or The Big Bang Theory on your flatscreen TV with cable. The kids will love the in-suite PlayStation 3 (which also plays BluRays!) Bring favorites from home or take advantage of the unlimited movie and game rentals offered at the resort. Aston at the Maui Banyan provides daily housekeeping, so that’s one less thing to worry about. Interested in a renovated condo? Upgrade to a Deluxe one- or two-bedroom.

Kama'ole Beach Park is a short walk from the resort and gives you three distinct beaches to choose from. They attract both locals and vacationers, creating a welcoming atmosphere that’s different from the more touristy areas of Lahaina and Ka’anapali. Aston at the Maui Banyan is a ten-minute drive from both The Shops at Wailea and Maui Nui Golf Club. Divide your group into two teams: Shoppers and Golfers and head out for a day of fun.
