In quarantine Marriott Maui

[luv_maui]

Any chance that would be at Napili Surf? We stayed there in 2001 and loved it. Just steps away from the Gazebo. The pics are bringing those memories back!

Pictures taken just at Napili bay, just outside gazebo restaurant.

It's the condos just north and adjacent to Napili Surf, called Napili Bay resort.

Thanks. I remember seeing those next door.

Yup, I remember that view so well. Cool! My family and I went snorkeling just beyond those shallows.

Today they called to let us know the main super pool is opening tomorrow! Grills by Napili building were open starting earlier this week. Unlikely fitness center opens in any near future. Supposedly more guests checking in this weekend. No housekeeping. Actually had a car parked next to me this morning for the first time, in parking garage next to Napili building. underground parking only 1/2 open with top uncovered parking Coned-off

Woot! I am totes, totes jelly. The one state in the nation where the virus is actually under control (based on the Harvard tracking data.) So worth the two weeks, esp. since you were working anyways. I hope you stay for the full seven weeks.

Aarrgghh! ANTS!! Lots of tiny black ants on kitchen countertop! Leaving room so they can spray. Also, housekeeping is now allowed weekly. After 4 weeks we need it.

I am so jealous of your adventure. We are trying to get a second week at either Marriott or Westin Nanea only, for 8/21. We already have Westin Nanea for 8/28. I loved that place. Looking forward to a nice two weeks. I have to figure out where to get tested before we go to Maui, so we will have the results two-three days before we go. I am determined to go.

Teddy, PM me if you see something on II for 8/21 at either Marriott or Westin Nanea. Need a 2 bedroom for my MIL to stay with us.

My bff was telling me today that her sister and brother in law are planning to go to Alaska to visit their daughter and help with her kids. Alaska has the same requirement as Hawaii for testing. They need to get tested through Kaiser. Kaiser will allow them to be tested for travel, but won't guarantee a quick turn around on the test results. They're thinking what they may need to do is, if they don't get the test results quickly enough they'll change their fights and go when they do get the results. Is this an option you might have?

I've had that happen twice when in Maui. It's no fun.

Will do. Maybe (?) something will pop up or maybe this was it for inventory. So very unknown.

Main pool is open but not the slide. When have we been the only ones we see at the main pool? 1 parent and child by kiddie pools.

This trip is something you’ll always remember. You will have some great stories.

I appreciate the Marriott Maui opening the main pool, but it is certainly not clean. The pool by Napili building was clean some days and not clean other days. But opening the main pool should include cleaning it first. We may go back to the smaller Napili pool. But so quiet now at main pool. Typically incredible activity , but simply none by us and probably not much activity throughout. When are there empty chairs here? And when is the hoop without shooters? And they just turned off the waterfalls by the cave surrounded by waterfalls

A couple (but just 1) with their 1 child just came swimming by us. Staying at original phase (MMO) so they did open up another building! They came over from oahu.

How amazing your adventure has been. Being someone who has many Maui weeks I've been living vicariously through you so thank you for sharing your experience. Right now I have 4 consecutive weeks in the fall that I'm trying to re-rent for customers but if I can't i will be using myself even if by chance I would have to do what you did. As much as I would make the most of it like you did I would prefer if things just get back to some sense of normal and i can go back to dreaming that a few years from now we can spend 2 months on Maui without the fear of getting sick.

Yes, we would love for it to be back to normal. However, there may be a new normal for the shirt to mid term. Wishing you the best in re-renting and May next year be somewhat better for your hawaii trip next year.

I hope people aren’t getting bored with these pictures, but here’s tonight. All within seconds

How can you get tired of that!

Not bored at all. Enjoying the beauty from a distance.

Road to Hāna today. Supposedly opened and allowed, but not if you read the numerous signs by locals. All parks along the way were closed. Turned around in hana beach park. Wanted to stop at Black Sands Beach, but would’ve had to violate the closure sign, which many did, but I follow rules so we simple turned around and drove back home.

hana beach park at bottom plus other photos along the way
