"I just wanted to write and thank you guys for publishing the truly great guidebook, Maui Revealed. My friends and I just got back from Maui yesterday and we all really wanted to let you guys know how grateful we were to have this book to help us along. We are a group of 7 internationals (Canadian, German, French) an none of us are the 'resort' types, and Maui Revealed honestly helped us find the best things to do in as affective and fun a way as possible. Please pass along our sincere thanks to Mr Doughty, especially for the honesty with which the book was written. We actually had also along both the Fodors, and Lonely Planet guidebooks, but every single time we cross checked activities, restaurants, or beaches between the books Maui Revealed had more to say, far better directions, and more down to earth honesty. So thank you for helping make our trip so great. I wish all my travel books were as well crafted as this one."

Aerial View

360 units, pool, spa, bbqs, air conditioning, sauna, elevator, fitness center, 24-hour business center, free hi-speed Inter-net access in units, daily maid service. This 1975-built property consists of two 12-story towers on delicious Ka‘anapali Beach. The services for a condo resort are admirable. The daily maid will even do your dishes if you want. The resort is well-run and friendly. Staff is excellent, many of them long-term. The pool courtyard was redone in 2009 and looks very dreamy now with large koi ponds. However, this property lost its Real Gem rating in our 5th edition because many of the rooms didn’t have the polish you’d expect at this price, and on this visit many still lacked that gem feel to us. Rooms do have a great layout with a bedroom and living room sharing the view. We debated which ocean views were best and lean toward north-facing views because Moloka‘i looks better than Lana‘i from your large lanai. Oceanfront has the best views, of course, but the extra money is pretty painful. Some of the ocean view (3rd floor and above) rooms get less desirable the further back you go in the buildings. Regardless, consider the 1/2s instead of the 1/1s. Extra full bathrooms are about $30 more (a good deal). You have signing privileges at some other Ka‘anapali properties. It’s $12 a day to park. They have a mandatory $10 amenity fee that includes daily coffee, Internet and some other items. Studios are relatively spacious at 640 sq. ft. (and some have pull-down beds, offering more usable room for up to 3 people) at $329–$519. 1,114 sq. ft. 1/1s are $479–$649. At 1,118 sq. ft. the 1/2s are $399–$809, and 1,952 sq. ft. 2/2s are $575–$1,219. 2-night minimum.
