Where to Stay
Hostel Maui
What guests say
“Hawaii on a real budget is tough but Hostel Maui makes it work. Clean, friendly, and the shared kitchen saves a fortune in Hawaii's expensive restaurant scene.”
“No frills but clean and the location is better than you'd expect. Staff know every free beach and hiking spot on the island. Essential for budget Maui.”
Hyatt Regency Maui
What guests say
“The free luau shows, the multiple pools, and the Ka'anapali beach location make it exceptional value for a Hawaii resort. Kids absolutely loved every minute.”
“Rooftop telescope stargazing at the astronomy program was a highlight. The beach is gorgeous, pools are great, and the restaurants are solid.”
Andaz Maui at Wailea
What guests say
“Contemporary Hawaiian luxury done perfectly. The infinity pools blending into the ocean view, the spa, the exceptional Ka'ana Kitchen restaurant. Maui at its finest.”
“We watched humpback whales from our private lanai while eating room service breakfast. Some experiences are genuinely once-in-a-lifetime. This was one.”
Four Seasons Maui at Wailea
What guests say
“The Four Seasons standard in Maui's finest location. Three pools, white sand beach, world-class Spago restaurant, and service that makes you never want to check out.”
“We spent our 20th anniversary here. The staff decorated our room, arranged a private dinner on the beach, and the butler service was extraordinary. Perfection.”
