| | | Upcoming Events On Maui  
Maui's Magic Isles offer much more than relaxing days at the beach and gorgeous tropical sunsets. Every winter one of nature's great wonders creates a stir among Hawaii residents and visitors - and a reason to celebrate. In early November hundreds of 30- to 40-ton humpback whales migrate from the North Pacific to warm Hawaiian waters to breed and give birth to their calves. Here they play, feed and nurse their young until departing for northern waters in May.

| | "Great Hotel" The Mauian Hotel is located on the beautiful Napili Beach on Maui's western shore, only a 10 minute drive from Kapalua airport (island air) its location is great They have a great continental breakfast, and there right on the ocean, so you can watch the sun set behind molakai every evening, I would reccomend this hotel to anybody. Sep 18, 2006: A TripAdvisor Member, Arizona "Great Value, Beautiful Beach!"
We traveled around Maui and stayed at 8 different hotels around the island. We stayed at hotels that cost 4 times as much as the Mauian and we liked the Mauian a lot more! We stayed at the Sheraton and paid over $400 a night. Our room at the Sheraton seemed like a million miles away from the beach. When you did finally get to the beach at the Sheraton it was so packed that there would be nowhere to sit. At the Mauian there is a beatiful, non-crowded beach right outside your bedroom door. It was nice to have the beach right in front of your room! We did not stay at single hotel other than the Mauian with the beach that close. The rooms are nice and the staff was friendly. We really enjoyed our experience at this hotel!

"Love this place! Awesome!"
This is a GREAT lowkey place to stay. There are no tv's, no air conditioning didn't need it at all.
It's a couple of miles away from the "happening" crowd, but it's a vacation spot.
First morning we went out on our balcony, there were spinner dolphins playing and whales going by.
The beach has no big rollers so you can swim a scuba around to your hearts content.
Things close down pretty early at this end of the island, but it's only a few miles to nightlife.
Would definately stay there again.
