"Hey I never write fan letters, but I simply *had* to let you guys know how much your book enriched my trip
to Maui this past week. I saw and did things I would otherwise never even have KNOWN to try, thanks to you. And anybody who makes the journey to Hana without your book is wasting the trip. I'm a reporter, and have pretty exacting standards for both accuracy and style, and you guys get very high marks for both... readable, honest, easy to follow your road directions, and just the right amount of attitude. I *really* appreciate the obvious care, effort, and skill that went into Maui Revealed, and wanted to let you know WHAT a big help it was. Thanks again."

120 rooms, pool, hi-speed Internet access in rooms, free Wi-Fi in lobby, free room safes, lanais on all but standard garden view, elevators in garden view buildings. This is a hard one to review. In some ways, it’s everything a Maui resort should be—very gentle, a very Hawaiian feel—but it looks unloved. The 28-acre grounds are sprawling, and the overall old Hawaiian atmosphere is relaxing. It started in the ’50s as a private residence, and then many cottages were added for the owner’s friends. Today, it’s six 3-story buildings, with half of them across the street on the ocean. It’s clearly a resort in decline, its best days seemingly past. On this visit, it was in the poorest shape we have witnessed, with siding literally peeling off the garden buildings, exposing the bare frames. Though three buildings are oceanfront, only the orientation of building 400 takes advantage of its location. At press time, the bedding and drapes were all being changed over to match building 400’s oceanfront units—which are nice. But in our opinion, the garden units need more than new drapes and bedding at this point, and are to be avoided. If you stay here at all, stick to the ocean buildings that have a tiny cove beach. The Maui-shaped swimming pool has oddly sloping sides, making it awkward to enter and exit. Friday nights they have a pupu and hula show. They have a mandatory $10 amenity fee that includes daily coffee, room safe, Internet access and some other items. Rack rates aren’t cheap, but few pay them. Rooms (356–400 sq. ft.) are $149–$349. Ocean views or oceanfronts are $219–$399.
