Maui Revealed: "Hey I never write fan letters, but I simply *had* to let you guys know how much your book enriched my trip |
Maui Lu (800) 922-7866 or (808) 879-5881 575 S. Kihei Rd.
120 rooms, pool, free Wi-Fi in lobby, free room safes, lanais on most. This is a hard one to review. In some ways it's everything a Maui resort should be--very gentle, very Hawaiian feel, but it looks unloved. The 28-acre grounds are sprawling and the overall old Hawaiian atmosphere is relaxing. On the other hand, it's clearly a resort in decline, its best days seemingly past, especially on the inside. At press time its future was uncertain. It started in the '50s as a private residence and then many cottages were added for the owner's friends. Today it's half a dozen old buildings with somewhat dreary and very basic rooms. Though three buildings are oceanfront, only the orientation of building 400 takes advantage of its location. If you're gonna stay here at all, stick to the ocean buildings. The Maui-shaped swimming pool has oddly sloping sides, making it awkward to enter and exit. Rack rates aren't cheap. Rooms (356-400 sq. ft.) are $125-$199 for standard. Oceanfronts are $199-$237. |
