An entry chest and mirror will replace the open book case in the one bedroom, two bath apartments to provide the extra storage needed and reduce clutter.

A replacement fabric has been selected for the lanai chairs and lounges. Removal of the old and installation of the new chair fabric is scheduled for 2017.

Maui Concierge Services (MCS): MCS has been selected as the new provider for our concierge and beach activity services. The new li-cense agreement will provide for increased revenue to the AOAO and will provide concierge services later in the day and on weekends. Beach activity kiosk hours remain the same.
