Maui Revealed: "After battling back and forth, my husband and I finally settled on Hawaii and I thought the hard part was done. Ha! I can't tell you how overwhelmed I soon became. Maui or Kauai? Wailea or Kaanapali? Condo or hotel? January or June? I felt myself feeling more anxious than excited about what was supposed to be a dream vacation for us. It seems the more I researched, the more confused I became. Happily, I stumbled upon "Maui Revealed" at a local bookstore. I browsed it and found that it was exactly what I was looking for: chock full of information and refreshingly honest. The website, with its aerial shots of the hotels and reviews, was an added bonus. We enjoyed Maui so much that we plan to return. I don't know whether we'll end up in Maui or Kaanapali or whether we'll travel in August or November. But I do know that the latest edition of "Maui Revealed" will be in my overnight bag. Thanks for a great book and happy travels!" |
Napili Shores (800) 688-7444 or (808) 669-8061 5315 Lwr. Honoapiilani Rd.
152 units, 2 pools, spa, 2 restaurants, bbqs, free Wi-Fi, maid service every third day or dailyif requested, free room safes. Managed by Outrigger, the grounds are tidy. The rooms are well-kept, but could use updating. Studios have a king and a twin bed, so they’ll sleep 3 comfortably. Studios feel roomier than their listed 540 sq. ft. size, while the 675 sq. ft. 1/1s don’t seem worth the extra money. Local calls are 50¢. They are close to, but not on, Napili Beach and seem pretty quick to say “ocean view” with marginal view rooms. For instance, Building H has poor views. The lanai walls effectively block ocean views from most of the rooms we saw. (I guess you could walk out onto the lanai and crane your head, but that makes for a pretty weak “ocean view.”) Their breakfast and lunch restaurant, Gazebo, is a winner and they have free coffee, but there’s usually a long wait. Their morning “orientations” are simply a means to sell you activities. Studios are $295$345, 1/1s are $359$399. Hope you did better than those rates. |
