Protect yourself from the sun

by Gypsystravels

Like any tropical location, sun protection is a must. The sun can be very strong and protecting yourself from sun damage is important. I would recommend that you bring your own sun protection with you allowing you to have the brand/spf you desire. If you plan to do any water activities, I would recommend that you invest in a water resistant brand that will last. You can also purchase all sorts of sun protection at the ABC stores, but you may pay more than back home. I usually carry my brand/spf of choice, this way I don't have to worry about settling for something I do not like.

Colored wristbands for resort guests only

by Gypsystravels

Because most of the resorts in Maui have open areas which welcome not guests, the hotels have devised a way of distinguising their hotel guests from none guests. In order to enjoy the pools and included activities of the hotel, the guests are given a colored writsband. Every day before heading to the pools Ferni and I would stop at guest services and pick up our wristbands along with some towels. The color of the wristband is changed daily.During our visit we saw many kids running around with their arm full of different colored wristbands. This is s great way of allowing guests to enjoy the amenities they are paying for.

Meeting new friends

by Gypsystravels

One of the many things I love about being in a warm tropical island like Maui are the wonderful people I have met. One couple during out last trip in particular stands out. Larry and Rose are a middle aged couple who have been married for over 30 years with no children of their own. They have worked all their lives and love traveling esepcially to Maui. They are what I would call "locals" since they have been visiting for many years now and everyone seems to know who they are. They currently live in New Jersey but spend alot of time in Maui. They are a wonderful couple who are retired with kind free loving spirits. We met them by chance during our last night in Maui when Ferni and I were enjoying a few drinks at the bar in Longhi's. The bar was pretty empty except for Larry, Rose, me, Ferni and the chef for the Ritz (who's name now escapes me). The tv was tuned to some sport (I think it...

Ka'anapali

by Roadquill

Big condos / hotels lining a gorgeous beach, golf courses inland, lots of high end shopping, restaurants, Black Rock, safe beach for toddlers, and a skeleton of a big whale. Nuff said. If you would like a good meal, there is always Roy's.

PAIA

by Roadquill

No, not Paella, this town at the start of the road to Hana is not a rice dish. However, it is one of the nicest little towns on Maui. It is still very surfer oriented and you are likely to see as many dreadlocks as bermuda shorts. There are several restaurants, Milagros, Paia Fish Market, Mama's Fishhouse...several clothing stores and several art stores/cooperatives. We make it a point to try and stop by. There is great surfing on the nearby North shore. In addition to a small general market, there are even two gas stations. Free parking is on lot on the West side of Paia, just before you enter the town.

Kahului

by Roadquill

Kahului is kind of the non tourist town of Maui, home of the International airport and a deep water port and Costco. If you have a Costco card, the Costco is an immediate left as right after you leave the airport. I usually stop for bare essentials like reasonbly priced good wine, and maybe a boogie board, beach mat or umbrella. There is a Sports Authority further South on Dairy where you also pick up some beach or sports equipment. From a tourist standpoint there is the Alexander and Balwin Sugar Museum and the Kahana Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary. On Saturday mornings there is a farmers market by the community college. The Queen Kaahumanu shopping mall and the Maui Mall both have theatres. If you are going to Hana, Paia or the road to Haleakala you will need to drive through Kahului. The traffic going the half a mile down Dairy can be quite a memory.

Maui tips

by lizscoular

We love the Southern coast of Maui, around Wailea. Kaanapali is cheaper, but it has gotten overcrowded, in my opinion. Jet lag can affect you there - just stay up as late as you can the first night, and you'll pretty much adjust by the next day. (The jet lag is actually worse when you go home, so allow a day or more to adjust before you head back to work!)Hawaii is very casual - very few places require shirt and tie. Even in some of the most expensive restaurants, you'll mainly see resort wear.Must sees: take the road to Hana - allow a full day for this. But don't stop at Hana - get a picnic lunch at keep going to the state park that has the "seven sacred pools". Maybe one of the most beautiful places on earth! Sunsets on Kaanapali beach

Beautiful Beaches

by DenaM1

I beaches were beautiful. The weather was always nice. Never to hot and cool at night. I loved to open our windows at night and just listen to the sound of the ocean.The road to Hana was "a must do" for Maui. It takes about a day to see and stop at certain places. I would recommend buy the CD that gives you step by step, by mile marker. With out this CD, you will for sure miss something. Make sure you pack a lunch. There is really no where to eat. We spent a week in Maui for our honeymoon. I do not regret any of it. Very romantic!

Maui Sunsets

by SteveOSF

One fond memory of Maui is standing on a sandy beach as the sun starts to slide under the horizon. The final colorful glimmers of daylight streak across the sky and are reflected upon the water. A gentle ocean breeze cools the warm evening air. And you reflect in the knowledge that tomorrow you will awake in paradise.

Costco

by tunce2mac

If you are staying in a timeshare type resort near Lahaina, and you are flying into OGGon the way out of the airport when you make a left on the highway 380, stop at Costco and stock up on supplies, the markets on the island are few and far between and really really expensive
