Maui Beach Hotel

Convenience is what recommends this recently renovated older, low-rise hotel on Kahului harbor. You're ten minutes from the airport (they'll pick you up) and well placed to get anywhere else on Maui quickly.

 
Three shopping centers, theaters and several good restaurants within a short walk. Reasonably priced, modest accomodations. Good base camp. (808) 877-0051

Paia & Hana

Hotel Hana Maui

Paul Fagan started this hotel in 1946, partly as a place to store his guests. Later, wealthy tourists took it up as a wonderful place to experience the privacy, peace and quiet of a tropical paradise. It's still that and regularly gets voted "The Most Romantic Hotel in the World" by travel writers.

When you check in you are given a lei, fresh fruit and are driven to your room in a golf cart. Definitely a luxury experience and priced accordingly (800) 657-7723

Not kidding about the clouds. We take our Sunday morning walk along the road that leads to this charming place. Quiet pastures with 100 mile views across the ocean far below. Six guest rooms in an old ranch house, each one decorated differently (white lace, bamboo, black lacquer). Six modern studio apartments.
