This is something that we did notice too, some of the beach bungalows were much less private than others. We found that the sunset side bungalows (especially those with pools) had much more vegetation and privacy - that is the side we were on, and we probably would have felt simalarly if we had been on the other side.

Our bungalow was quite secluded, and had a little nook carved out of the vegetation at the edge of the beach - perfect for a couple of chaise lounges. Having said that, the service was perfect, the diving great, the seafood fantastic. It is also close to Male and the airport.

We can't wait to go back.

I can also second the comments about Wailea; it is a bit of a letdown, I'd skip Maui and head to the FS resort at Hualali.
