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! :)

Fabulous Four Seasons Wailea Maui Hawaii

Hi Melissa,

Overall, we had a great time on our trip and it was a pleasure dealing with Hiapo who was very thorough and helpful.
The best part of course was being able to contact him and having him arrange everything from our hotel, flight and car rental and not having to juggle it all myself. We did have a room mix up, but once resolved things went very smoothly. And we really enjoyed the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea.
We didn't plan too much in the way of sightseeing, but the road to Hana was really spectacular, even though it was a long day's worth of driving, the views were breathtaking. We also really enjoyed Makena which was so close to the hotel and also provided incredible views. I loved going canoeing with the hotel's morning outrigger canoe group and getting a chance to go in the ocean and see the incredible sea life. Even though I'm not the best swimmer, they let me use a life jacket and with a pair of goggles I felt very safe and able to explore. I think that might have been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Seeing the live sea turtles and sea life. I had planned to go horseback riding in Makena and was really looking forward to it, but I got injured on my second outing with the canoe group when I got back into the canoe and hurt my rib. So that was a bummer.
I loved using the Four Seasons serenity pool at sunset and the jacuzzi to enjoy the magnificent vistas. And we took a few side trips to Kapalua, Lahaina and the Iao Needle which were fun. For the trip back, I hadn't realized that there was a three and a half hour layover in Honolulu. I do appreciate everything Hiapo did for us and will recommend your agency to our friends.
