Maui Review Summary
Those who are looking for cultural experiences and love nature are enjoying the beautiful views and beautiful weather of Maui in Hawaii. "We call Maui 'The Second Oahu' because it harbors similar traits of city and night life compared to the other islands." There is plenty to do in Maui for those who love to relax as well as those who love to explore such as "black sand beaches, Hanauma Bay, Seven Pools, Waterfalls" and more! Reviewers recommend going during whale season because "whale watching was incredible". Those who have been to multiple islands state that "Maui wins hands down as a vacation paradise."

We just got back from six days in Maui. Our last trip was 15 years ago as dating couple. This time we went back with our three kids and had an amazing time. Incredibly relaxing, beautiful and re-energizing. On our last trip we stayed at The Ritz Carlton in Kapalua. This time we stayed in a house (via Ultimate Escapes) in an area of Maui called Kanapali which is in the city of Lahaina.

We got free airfare from a travel agent when we bought a cruise from them. So we took 10 nts in Maui at Embassy Vacation Resort. We love Embassy Suites so we thought that was the same in Hawaii. 1998 we arrive, amazed at an airport with no glass in the windows, smiles everywhere, and very helpful folks. We have a Alamo rental car & they took our luggage to the van to take us to Alamo. Get the car & drive 30 minutes to Embassy past Lahaina. The freeway is next to the ocean, tunnels cut through mountains, and signs for falling rocks everywhere. This was heaven in beauty. We arrive...

We picked a wonderful time of year to go too. Not only was... review »

Maui is my favorite place to vacation. I hope to retire there. Some areas are touristy,
but you can find plenty to do on your own or with friends and family. A great place to be !
I've been to Maui twice now. The first time, we rented a soft top jeep and thought we could leave our luggage in the car in a parking garage with the car backed up against a wall where it would be out of view, but they stole some of our luggage anyways. Despite that we still had an amazing time. Definitely take the road to Hana. Take a guidebook with you to get to off the beaten path pools. Buy a DVD/cassette for the road to Hana. If you get a chance, take a plane to Molokai and ride on a mule on the mountainside. It's an amazing trip because you then get to learn about the history...

The Whaler condos are also great for the location on the same beach.
