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! :)

Outstanding Hawaii Vacation

Aloha Michael,

The accommodations were great and the services were outstanding. We were upgraded to the club floor with a great view of the pool and ocean. If you had anything to do with that, thank you. We did move to the other side of the building a couple days later because of the winds and coolness. The winds would blow the glass of wine off the table. We had a good time though. Golf was very windy at Kapalua and a hurricane at Ka'anapali. The wind would blow the ball off the green in some places but kept it under 90 strokes. Very challenging and beautiful. We will call you again.

Thanks,

Great Hawaiian Vacation

Aloha Melissa & Michael,
Our Trip was great – 2 nights at the Ihilani in Oahu and then the rest of the time in Maui.

Loved the snorkel trip and it worked great because it was like being on a Whale watch tour as well. The Luau was great – everyone enjoyed it. Beach at Kaanapali was fantastic and the Westin is a great hotel – it was packed but to be expected given school vacation week.

The first night at the Ihilani was Valentines day and we did not think to make a dinner reservation in advance and everything was booked. We expressed our concern to the hotel manager and they actually set us up with a room service menu that was fantastic – expensive but fantastic. They comped us a few appetizers and really did a great job. – This confirms my experience with great service from the Marriott.

Mokulele Airlines was great on the trip to Maui. Found out on the way that they do not have a bag agreement with American so it was best to fly back via Hawaiian so the bags could get checked straight through.

However, when I logged in on Friday I was able to get boarding passes for my American flights but not for Hawaiian Air and the line at the airport was the worst I have seen in a long time. It took well over an hour and 15 minutes to check in and I thought we were going to miss our flight- they could not explain why I could not print the boarding passes in advance.

All worked out in the end & we'll be in touch with you for our next trip!

Bottom line Hawaii is paradise after a long New England winter.
