Maui Hawaii Family Celebration

Aloha Melissa,

Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful vacation in Maui and enjoyed every minute. As always Caroline was a delight to work with in planning our family vacation. She was thoughtful in her suggestions, offered a variety of options and always focused on fulfilling our expressed needs.

Alaska Airlines: Absolutely perfect. Flights were on time and staff was friendly and attentive.

Fairmont Kea Lani:
Confusion at check in until it was determined one of the rooms had been put in Katina's name. Once that was determined, check-in was fine. For some reason, we had two breakfast buffet's included in the package and two were not? Not sure why this occurred as there were four in our party. Rooms: Nice size, clean, loved the roomy bathrooms, loved the large balcony. View was nice, we prefer to be much closer to the beach so would definitely prefer a villa. Pools were nice, small but still nice. Next time we will reserve cabana time and/or chairs on the deck pool. We were told the best chairs/cabana's are reserved up to a year in advance. So in the future we will reserve at the time we book the hotel. The food at the Fairmont was OK at best. We had our best meals at the Four Season and LOVED our meal and experience at Duo.

Favorite experience, for me it was playing golf at the Wailea Golf Course (Emerald Course) The rest of my family would say whale watching. The Pacific Whale Foundation does a terrific job, the boat we were on was roomy and they do not over sell making it a very enjoyable comfortable experience. The staff was great and provided a lot of wonderful, interesting information.

Mahalo!

We will return, many thanks to Caroline for everything she does to make our travel experience the BEST!

Fantastic Maui Vacation

Aloha Lori and Mahalo for arranging such a wonderful trip for us!

We had a fabulous vacation on Maui! It was really hard to leave, and even harder to arrive home to the daily grind. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time), we are going to need something closer to 2 weeks to really bask in the relaxing pace of it all. Here are some of our thoughts on the places, and please be sure to let us know if you have questions:

Honua Kai - was a beautiful place - spacious, comfortable rooms, huge lanai, nice facilities, lovely grounds, good restaurant. The kitchen could use a bit of shelving for food as the dishes took up all the cupboard space.

Kea Lani - What can I say? It's the Kea Lani. We love it. Absolutely love it. Beautiful rooms, grounds, pools, beach. Impeccable and friendly service. Fantastic breakfast buffet. No wonder we keep going back. We loved them when they put us in that Villa four years ago, but we also love their regular suite! :) We love almost everything about the Kea Lani. The ONLY downside is that they no longer have a reasonably priced restaurant to have dinner with your kids.

The beaches at Wailea and Makena are sooooo great, and they were much more accessible to our children than Kaanapali. I was surprised by this, as I vacationed for years on Kaanapali with my own parents and siblings when I was growing up. I remember playing in the ocean all day, every day. But the ocean in front of Honua Kai was too rough for our kids the first few days, and was too immediately deep for them to play in safely. There's no sand shelf. The Wailea beaches have that (a soft, sandy, gradual bottom), plus the snorkeling, so our kids were able to boogie board, body surf, and snorkel all day. We saw a huge (probably 5 ft) sea turtle down there - totally awesome!

We had fantastic meals throughout the trip, did part of the Hana Highway, went to Haleakala, and just all around enjoyed ourselves. I really can't wait to go back. We were sorry not to get to see you and give you a squeeze. Next time, okay? If you have any questions about any of my comments, please feel free to call me. Thanks again Lori, we had a fantastic time! :)

Hawaii Family Vacation

I have meant to send you this email since our return…we had a blast!! We did not want to leave!! All the excursions that you booked for us were perfect. We had perfect seats at the Luau, a wonderful sunset on the Dinner Cruise with great entertainment, and the Van Tour was one of our favorites…great guide…he even stopped at a couple places not on the itinerary for us!! I do think that the Kids had great fun snorkeling and zip-lining. The day of our departure we went to Lahaina and booked one of those blue water whale watching tours for the 6 of us…mom and dad did not go…and that was tons of fun also.

The most spectacular thing was where we stayed the Fairmont Kea Lani was absolutely beautiful and the service there was impeccable…second to none!! Everyone was so helpful and nice!! Scott and I walked hand in hand into the Ocean the morning we were leaving and that was one of the most touching memories that I will ever have considering that I almost lost my best friend before we left!!

I will write more later…just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! We will be using you and McCoy Travel for future trips for SURE!!!

Aloha,

Maui Dream Vacation

All other activities--scuba, luau, zip-lining, were great fun and a top-notch experience. In spite of the room snafu, the holiday was our family fav! We would even go back to the Kea Lani.

Thanks for all your assistance. We LOVED your "beloved" Maui. It IS a paradise!!

p.s. Please keep us informed of any "deals" for Maui at Wailea!!
