Maui Travel Answers

Aloha. In the Kaanapali area is the El Dorado condos. Wonderful location overlooking the Black Rock at the Sheraton Maui to the left and the great beach beyond the golf course with a view of Lanai and the Royal Lahaina Resort to the right. It is centered for restaurants, night entertainment and the Whaloers Village for shopping. Lahaina is only a few miles to the south and you can take a trolley around. Wonderful condos. Not only is Maui, :No Ka 'Oi, so are the El Dorado Condos. Happy Honeymoon. See: outriggermauieldoradocondo.c...

Kannapalli Alii is the only choice in my opinion. Great location close to action but like having your own condo away from the hub bub. Look at vrbo for places as renting direct can be expensive.

I am also interested in accommodation options as I will be travelling to Maui at the beginning of November for my honeymoon :)

If you want a resort area where there are condos to rent as well as shopping, restos bars, Kaanapali is nice, and very close to Lahaina which has more of a buzz in the evening as best as Maui has. I wouldn't call Maui a night life place. I like visiting Lahaina for a day, but I personally don't like the resort mentality. The Black Rock beach by the Sheraton is great beach, but usually there are many, many people, kids, etc. I prefer the SE side of the Island my Kihei. It is more laid back and has more open, relaxing beaches. There are still plenty of bars and restos in Kihei and you always have the resorts in Wailea. For higher end stay I like to go further SE to Makena. You can find find nice apartment/condos in VRBO on places like Ekahi in Wailea. I have friends that rent for what I consider unbelievably low prices. There are many cool areas to visit on Maui, which is why I stay in the more centralized Kihie area. Enjoy, Karl

Aloha, not to disagree with the other VTers, but on a honeymoon the price of a condo. cheap vs a $30.00 a night difference, can make all the difference. It is your Honeymoon. Something to remember your entire life. The El Dorado is my choice because when you decide to go out, the beach to the north of the Black Rock is mostly barren of people. It is twice as wide in front of the El Dorado as the Hotel Row of Ka' anapali's beach and the sand and seashore is flat to allow fun in the water without dropping off. Go 50 yards out and a reef allows great snorkeling. Price wise, at the moment the going rate for a garden view is $149 per night, but with special rates including AAA, the prices start at $125 per night for a deluxe condo in the action center of Maui. but private and secluded unto itself. To each his own, but for me the Ka'anapali area has the most of everything, including nightlife, Luaus, entertainment, restaurants for all tastes and a view of Lanai at sunset.
